Struggling at the moment, the last few days have been pretty bad. Feeling frustrated and angry. Have made some crappy eating choices since Monday and having an awful flareup of knee pain that is affecting my walking. Trying to stay positive and not let some bad choices affect my overall path.· 1 reply

Hello everyone at this point what are the things I should have for my surgery in mid august ? any suggestions· 1 reply

You will want clear liquids for the first week and protein shakes/powder for the first month. Sometimes your tastes change post-op so don't stock up too much on any one flavor or brand just in case this happens to you.
Sugar free ice pops are enjoyed by many here and drinkable yogurt low sugar. Sugar free jello if you like that. I made some homemade soups the first couple weeks and drank the broth. That bwas so much better then just buying broth.
You may need some miralax or MOM for constipation.
Good luck and I hope you continue to post about your journey.

I'm currently working on a second book about weight loss surgery and am looking for people at least 3 years out who have a success story to share. Please contact me if you're interested in helping out.· 0 replies

I’m so worried that I am already failing at this. My mom had gastric bypass 15 years ago and went from 330 to 240, but then never lost anymore. She has gone between 240 and 280 every since. Two nights ago I added baby cereal to my bedtime protein shake and I make about a cup of it. I usually have no trouble drinking a cup of liquid. It poured easily off a spoon but was thicker than my normal shake. After I ate it I felt satiated and fell asleep. At midnight, I woke up to let the dog out and made another cup of it. I realized at that point that I was overly full (I wasn’t in pain or nauseous, just super full). ). It made me feel like a loser because what I realized is that I should have only had 2 tablespoons of it because it counted as a pureed food instead of a shake. I was just thinking that when my nephew was little the only way to get him to sleep through the night was to ass cereal to his bottle, so I was trying the same thing with me. I’m such an idiot.· 1 reply

Please be kind to yourself! You're changing a lifetime of eating habits. It's like you're relearning how to eat, which means you have to find out what works and doesn't. And remember--bypass 15 years ago is different than bypass today. You get to forge your own path.

I ran in the pouring rain this morning for the first time. It was actually not too bad except for the rain in my eyes. I am having a slight issue with my right knee, nothing serious just a twinge so I am running with a compression sleeve and following the RICE protocol. I am praying this doesn't side line me. I will be taking an extra rest day tomorrow just to be careful.· 4 replies

You are such a trooper. I am so proud of you. The progress you are making and the continuing with running is so beautiful. I am praying all goes continuing well for your knee.💕😎

Exciting! I've been doing #C25K, but I fell out of the loop on week 5. Just doing speed intervals now. I ran/walked at a 16:30 mile today! Keep up the good work!
-
Yes, rest that leg! I know it's tempting to get back out there, but one day is better than several weeks if you injure yourself. You're making the right choice
-
Ran in the rain...makes me think of movies. LOL That little twinge, I'm glad you're taking care of it correctly. I'll be praying for total healing of it hon.
