Just something comfortable to go home in, a hair brush, phone and charger ;)
Yes!!!!!!!! Awesome feeling!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! I saw it 2 days ago and haven't seen it since but man is it exciting!!!! So happy for you!!!!
Thank you!! Trying to find my happy medium in being "regular" so will be looking for these. Do you drink it daily?
I am only 1 month out but I have a protein shake every morning. Sometimes, depending on my situation I will have another one to ensure proper protein. The ones I have every morning are designed...
Exactly what rehabnurse said although mine happened at 2 weeks. Stay the course and make sure your getting enough protein. Perhaps refer to your nutritionist or doctor but most require closer to 60...
I was told no coffee (caffeine or decaf) for a min of 3-6 months because of the acid levels. Although in my support group one lady said she started back on coffee one month out and was fine yet...
Truly a great article I'm bringing it to my next support meeting! Was wondering has anyone used any of the products on this site? I mean come on.... Chocolate Peanut butter cup flavor????? Please...
Kathysangels Thanks for the link for the recipes, I can't stop reading and there are 9000+ responses!!! Its great, thanks!
Wow that's awesome! Great news!
You will definitely find some great support here, I know its been a huge help for me. The mental struggles do not disappear after your surgery so just be prepared to deal with them in another way, or...
Tinman can you help me understand what you said? Liquid does NOT stretch your stomach? That seems to go against what they tell you. I am most definitely in the 3 week stall and after reading your...
I don't know if your doctor or insurance company required meeting with a counselor prior to your surgery but it may be helpful for you. I am fortunate that my doctor required a meeting pre and post...
Whoa, that's amazing. I agree about breakfast mostly miss my morning coffee with yummy creamer lol sounds like your doing great that's a lot of to have lost so quickly, I too am jealous!! My weight...
Congratulations on your progress! I am almost 3 weeks out but this weekend I had my first case of bad constipation. It's no fun and quite painful. You mentioned you were struggling a bit wondering...
Thanks for sharing love inspiring stories!!!!!!
Yes it does thank you both. I realized too I truly need to slow down when attempting to eat as well. These old habits really are hard to break but the chest pain reminds me lol I make dinner for my...
I'm curious on amounts everyone is eating. Today is the most I was able to eat that isn't a protein shake and it was a creamy soup. I managed about 4 tbsp before I started feeling like it was slowly...
Thanks for sharing that's awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Great motivation!!!
Ann2 thank you for the reminder. I agree with you and this surgery is a very personal decision. I'm dealing with insecurities that clearly preceded this decision and it will be a struggle for some...
Sadly, many of us here completely understand your situation and I'm sorry you had to experience it. I have only told very few people besides immediate family and the worse part is i didn't tell my...
What a ray of sunshine!! Your post literally made me tear up because I am less than 2weeks post op and feeling overwhelmed today. Clearly my usual comfort would be food and thAts why I did this...
Best wishes to you on your upcoming date! I found MyFitnessPlan is great in counting calories for your pre op and breaks down much more. It's not so useful after until much later as after your...
Ann2 said it best. All I can offer is perhaps buy some protein shakes to keep with you and focus on your protein intake. Tough situation, stay strong!
