    Re: Not loving it

    What meds are you on? For the first year after surgery, I was on pantoprosol (I think that's how it's spelled). The surgeon said it was to protect the stomach lining and help keep acid down. I...

    Re: not sure how I feel

    It's very important that you follow your post-op diet. You are still healing, even if you can eat things you shouldn't. I wouldn't, for example, consider chicken salad a soft food unless it was put...

  6. Re: New here and having surgery with little time for pre-op diet

    If your surgeon isn't concerned, then you should be fine as long as you do your six days of pre-op. It's funny, but I would have to read back to find out how long my pre-op was. I think it was two...

    Re: Vulnerable

    I think a lot of it is adjusting to not having food as a crutch. You're used to turning to food when you start to have feelings that you aren't real sure how to deal with, and now you couldn't do...

    Re: Why the hell am I feeling blue?

    This is completely and totally normal. I call it mourning food, but other people blame hormones, etc. You have made a LOT of changes in your life and you are going from relying on food as a crutch to...

    Re: Slow and steady baby!

    I like your attitude! I'm losing really slowly now too. The first five or so months I was dropping weight like crazy, but the last year it's been pretty slow. I worried at first but now find I don't...
  10. Re: 15 months out, Life is great 102 lost nothing but positives..

    I can't wait to hear about when you go back. I was at Universal last year and rode with no problems. The previous year I wouldn't have fit (I'm sure of it but was too intimidated to even try!).

    Hey! Glad to hear of your success. I remember when you had your surgery :) Congratulations! I totally know the feeling of going on a roller coaster and not having to worry hahaha I went to...

    Re: New Member

    I had to lose 10 pounds between my initial consultation and my surgery. I lost 13 during my pre surgery diet, so it wasn't really a problem.

    Re: Protein shakes

    Even if you do get samples, I would advise you not to stock up ahead of time. A lot people find that post-surgery their tastes change. I experienced this big time with the shakes. I still can't...

    Re: Just had my surgery needing some encouragment

    Not a mistake :) Right now your stomach is swollen and hardly anything is able to pass through very easily- even water. If you consider that you just had a major organ cut up and ripped out of your...

    Re: Size of stomach after surgery.......

    It isn't going to matter. What's going to make the difference is your behavior changes when it comes to eating habits and lifestyle.

    I think complacency is what slows a lot of us down. It's easy to forget that you're working on something here and it takes constant vigilance. Not every day is a good day for me, but I've also...

    Re: Protein Supplements vs Food Protein

    I generally recommend following the program you're on, but if you are getting your protein naturally, get off the shakes! Natural is healthier.
