I have been anticipating a denial for some reason but my case manager called me and told me i was good to go. I honestly couldnt even comprehend what she was saying because I was so excited. LET'S DOOO THIIISSSS!!

Great story! and what a wonderful husband. I also feel terrible for those whose partners or family don't support them--I think maybe the worst is mothers, as we're so conditioned to want their approval and support. Hugs to all who need them!

Still feeling great after having surgery 2 days ago. Today I'm at my daughter's soccer and next is my son's baseball game. I'm dizzy from all the anti-nausea meds but am feeling awesome.

processed food is anything sold in a store that is not on the 3 walls 1 fruit/veggie wall 2 meat(protein) wall 3 dairy wall . It is all the stuff in the center of the store. yea that much. comes in a box and you cant pronounce most of the things on the ingredients list

Personally, I say bring the whole pillow! It's just "homey" and comforting

This Android is absolutely asinine in posting, makes gibberish out of lucid thoughts and posts in the middle of a sentence without me hitting "Send"!😭😪

I was sleeved same day as you and not struggling either. My programme is just for 1 protein shake a day and the rest is soup/yoghurt/pudding/smoothie. I can get the shake/smoothie/pudding soup down grand but the yoghurts I have are a bit thicker so more challenging! It’s interesting how things evolve, for the first 3 days it was very much a ‘need to eat now’ mentality but yesterday I actually started to want food

Hi there, I am so sorry that you are having such a painful experience [emoji17] I had my surgery on April 5th & I too struggled with extreme pain (exactly as you describe!) & wondered what was wrong with me, as it appeared everyone else had little to none. I was so worried that I ended up having a battery of tests all to find that everything was fine. So from there I had no choice but to accept that for me, this is how it was going to be. The pain started to get better, but then the next hurdle was changing to Purée stage. That was also a nightmare (& still isn’t where it should be). So I’ve stopped trying to make changes by the book & am doing things when my body feels ok to try. If you feel that something isn’t right, please follow up with your medical team. But please know that for some, this is normal & it will start to improve at a rate that is right fo you. Wishing you all the best [emoji170]

#1 - Don't waste time beating up on yourself. You have MAINTAINED a loss of 111 pounds. #2 - Get back to basics, log all your food, measure your water, 30-30-30, protein then veggies, then fruit, then carbs #3 - Take a break from processed foods and watch things that trigger you to overeat. For me, carbs make me crave more (and stupider choice) carbs. But you know what sets you off. #4 - No alcohol or sweet drinks It's really about getting back to what worked in the first place. I'm no expert on getting back on the wagon after surgery, but I've failed enough diet plans over the last 45 years to know what the reset button looks like. And, definitely, ask for support when you need it!

No, it's not. It's a good question. I had RNY and it took me pretty much a full 5 days before I took a dump.
