  1. okay, wow way to go! i have lost 25 pounds so far. 55 grand total. and 85 pounds to go. I really need to start taking vitamins..i bought the bariatric advantage ones and they are huge and make me vomit. taste horrible. i need to go buy flinstones vitamins.
    what vitamin has worked the best for you? do you think that you eat the amount of protein you need a day?

    Hey sorry for the late response native Californian lol. With foods for me it was like this. I may shock you but I did not follow the diet at all. Let me give you two examples. I had surgery in July a patient of mines had surgery in October she has now passed me but we both started off same weight about an inch apart in height. She followed her routine and worked out I didn't it took her less time to get to her goal then it took me. Just because you venture off some does not make you a failure or mean you will fail later. If that is the case I failed but HELL I LOOK GOOD AS A FAILURE. I hate protein I do, the only protein I could even consume was protein bars that is the only protein i like. I stopped drinking protein it my second week out I believe. I refuse to buy something I know I will not drink or use. I am not wasting money anymore than i need. I did eat a lot of the healthy choice, weight watchers, etc. for a long time. I would use a spoon and break down the noodles so fine. Despite me not getting the recommended protein in through drink i did get it through protein bars like MILK TIGER but then those you have to be careful with carbs. I say try your best. I did not lose any hair or anything. Sorry again it took so long but PM me or write on my wall for some reason my email notifications are not the best. TAKE CARE write me whenever
  4. I wish i could stand chocolate right now i bought a big thing of protein powder chocolate because i thought i would always love it. and it makes me gag, and if i keep drinking it i will throw up.. i can handle fruit flavors, so i went and got samples of the nectar protein powder and i got some isopure.

    Protein Idea-this is what I do:
    Protein powder I use is UNJURY Chocolate Splendor
    Mix one scoop iwth ony about 1/4 c warm tap water. SLOWLY, while stirring, add 10 ounces hot Diet SWISS MISS Hot chocolate and coffee (if you drink coffee). Then, add some SF creamer. YUM! I imagine you can use any protein powder. The trick is to dissolve the protein powder in tap water first or it will clump in the hot liquid.
  6. okay i will try the tea i have a sofa that reclines but it is just not the same... the pillow idea is amazing. I have sciatica too so my entire leg and hip is just throbbing. i just want to lay on my side but its not happening. ugh.everyone says it will get easier. so i am hoping that it happens soon. am i supposed to eat when i am hungry or make my self eat.. oh and protein shakes please share how you make them taste better???

    I just read your other post. I know the pain you are feeling. I want to help you get thru this. Here is some ideas. Get crystal light lemonade flavor, you can add to pain killer to help taste. Also you can buy Walmart brand "Equate" liquid children's pain and fever reducer. It taste so much better. I sleep in a recliner but if you don't have one sleep on couch with lots of pillows to prop you up. When getting up take a small pillow and hold it on your tummy so you don't put anymore strain that will cause pain. I hope you feel better.

    Ha! I am glad you are excited about me being your first. Hehehehehe. Try "Celestial" Vanilla Honey Chamomile tea. It's no caffeine and Chamomile helps nausea. I use a sweeten low to sweeten it. The pain for me lasted three weeks. Everyday got better and better. Walk as much as you can that helps also.
  9. I believe it went well. I am just in a lot of pain. and not eating as much as i thought i would be. so nauseated and just trying to get by. thanks for the support

Relationship Issues after surgery/before too

by marrington34610 on 04-30-2013 at 07:22 PM
I am looking way better in my clothes. I can tell it also feels amazing!
on another note, a bit depressed. Not because of my surgery, but because the man i am in a relationship. He is the main reason why i did this surgery. For many years he made comments on my weight. even slept with incredibly tiny women to make it a point. It kills me, but we have two kids together. Why dont i leave him. yeah i know its pathetic, but i have no job, no income... i cant pay rent. and my sciatic/hip pain

Just living life

So i have to admit i dont follow the diet to the T. I do listen to the guidelines, but i also listen to what my body wants. sometimes my head hunger gets in the way. I do find that I need a bit more of a mushy type of food, with a bit of liquid to it. it is so hard to not drink and eat. seriously. thats how i always ate. so i literally count down till my drink time! oh my gosh im in love with slushies!! sonics happy hour, small slush for 50 cents, mostly sugar free! no i dont do sugar free drinks,

a little down today

by marrington34610 on 04-10-2013 at 12:56 PM
Feeling a bit depressed. I want to get outside more. I want to be able to sit down and enjoy dinner with my family.
I regret getting my sleeve done. I am so young i really could have just got into gear and worked out and ate better.... i lost 30 pounds on my own. hardly even trying. now im miserable. i dont know what to eat, and i want flavor. i hate cooking, it makes me so sad. excpecially cooking for my kids, i want to take a bite. that was never the issue before.
