Jess, you can get back on track! I know that it is hard but you can do what you need to do. However, your body may be trying to catch up with your weight loss! I know that this might sound like a...
Jessica just keep walkin', walkin', and walking! When I had nausea it made all the difference in the world. Also, I wasn't allowed liquids until 24 hours post surgery. Your nausea may be related to...
LOL, mine have finally begun to shrink. My butt was the first to go! My 20 year old son noticed and said "Mom, you don't have a butt anymore!" It made my day and I remember it every time I see myself...
Kathy Jo, first of all you have lost almost 50 pounds in the last year and kept it off -- in my book that is a success! How many times have you lost weight and a year later you have it all back and...
I had a very good experience with Dr. Lopez at Mi Doctor's Hospital in Tijuana. I really liked that we had supported care with monitoring rather than an out patient experience with full recovery in a...
Well I am out 14 months and can notandle lettuce in a salad or oranges -- they both have way to much fiber. Funny thing is that I can handle a little lettuce on a sandwich, usually open faced. I...
Cathy, first of all congratulations! You might try mixing it up a bit! When protein drinks weren't making me or my new tummy happy my daughter suggested home made smoothies! I'd mix a blend of frozen...
Monica, could it be that you have a touch of a stomach flu? When I have those days when nothing tastes good I work extra hard to make sure to get my fluids in and don't worry about the proteins!...
It is a funny thing about travel, I always come home lighter! I think it is because I watch what I eat more closely plus pay extra attention to getting in my fluids, in addition I seem to get in more...
Congratulations to all of you! Even if you are not a size 14 yet, you have made the choice to be healthier and hopefully happier. Please, Please, Please remember that our happiness is not always...
Missy, I've been on Vitamin D3 for the past three years 2000 iu/ daily with no side effects. Since I live half way between the equator and the North Pole and have lots of inside time during the...
Isn't life grand! I was fortunate that I had several pairs of "smaller" jeans available in my closet, even got hand me downs from my daughter (she was 17 then and I was 60!), now I am at the point...
It sounds like things are rough at your house right now! It is critical that you stay hydrated!!! I have had this a couple of times in the past year -- my go to's are: ginger tea (as good as ginger...
I used a powdered multivitamin that was mixed with water for about two months after surgery then I was able to handle a regular tablet. I don't remember the name, but I found it at Costco -- a full...
You are on the right track! It can be overwhelming when it comes to protein, "Should I use powder, premixed, and later protein bars???" I found that I don't really like powdered protein, it is a...
Actually, I used Premier Protein that I picked up at Costco. It has only 1g of sugar and a total of 4g's of carbs per 11 oz, with 30 grams of protein. Bad news is that it only comes in chocolate and...
I am so sorry for you, I too had problems when I first had my surgery. Turns out that it was artificial sweeteners that trigger mine digestive problems. Every time I had sugar free jello or pudding I...
I started taking all of my meds in pill and capsule form two days after surgery. My doctor gave me oral antibiotics upon discharge along with a liquid antacid to take ten minutes prior to taking the...
Repeat the following phrase to yourself, "I did not fail! I was in control of what I ate and made a choice to eat with my family. I did not overeat and I enjoyed my meal!" I can tell you that even...
Paradoxgal, you might want to try some ginger tea. Ginger ale was always my go to when I had an upset stomach prior to surgery, but as soda is no longer an option I tried ginger tea -- it did the...
NSV's that involve our kids are the most motivating! Congratulations!! By the way mine was riding a bus for 19 hours to Disneyland and back for my daughter's school Music Tour this past April!
Please, please, please give yourself a break! Just because you had a fun sized candy bar you are not going to fail! You have come so far since your started!!!! One thing that I've come to realize...
Your NSV's are what really keep your going,Congratulations! What else in your closet fits?????? I bet there are more outfits out there!
Man of Sorrow, give yourself a break your body is adjusting to the new your. Right now you will find even though you are not losing according to the scale you are making many NSV's! Break out the...
Chris you should be okay. I took my empty "Tervis" water bottle through security in San Deigo then bought a G2 Gatorade that I mixed with water on the way home last year. you could pick up 2 and ask...
