    Regained it all

    It sounds to me like you've already identified some things you know you could change. I'm a big believer in making lots of small, but sustainable changes, rather than huge diet "resets". By that I mean, maybe for the next couple of weeks, you simply make sure you stop at only one glass of wine at night. Then maybe it's cutting the wine down to every other day, or maybe limiting yourself to 1 or 2 bags of chips a week. Try and make just one small change every 2-3 weeks until each small change becomes the new normal for you. Only then, add in another change. I think most people try to drastically change everything all at once and that rarely works. Again, I think you know what you need to do to get back on track, the trick is taking it step-by-step and turning the "bad" habits into good ones.

    Surgery Scheduled

    Thank you. I think that is what I will do. Perhaps will try this much later after, or will just be happy with what I am doing and not want to try. [emoji846] Sent from my SM-G998U using BariatricPal mobile app

    Ooh yea I think it’s insane, but I live in the same town I grew up in (just went away to college and came back) and it has always been that way. I’m surprised that the insurance companies don’t notice the trend and do something to be honest. But it’s a huge waste of our money too. The worst part is all the hospital does is the X-ray to say it’s not broken and then you have to go to the orthopedic dr anyways to find out whats actually wrong. Seems like the orthopedic dr could just order an X-ray up front and skip the hospital and the urgent care. Reality is we should be able to just walk in and get an X-ray without a dr’s permission. But Don’t get me started on all that.

    If you don’t mind me asking, I have been researching cookies for my annual cookie day and am quality learning just how many sweeteners are available today. Are they all interchangeable and just a matter of taste preference?? I just purchased sugar free choc chips and mink fruit but I already have swerve (that tasted a little extra sweet to me). The ones you mentioned look easy enough for me. Are the like a sugar cookie??

    I agree about adding some milk to thin out the shakes. I do that. I also add a pinch of salt sometimes. I can do about 4 oz of protein drink at a time. I also have a good broth that I generally have for "lunch" and "dinner" and I put a non-flavored protein in the dinner one, so that helps me a lot. I'm just dipping my toes in puree, so I'm not really eating enough of that where it is worth putting protein in it - there's just not enough food. So, for now, I'm stuck with the shakes, clear protein, and broth. There are a ton of unflavored proteins out there, though, that maybe you could put in a warm drink? I am supposed to do 2 multis a day and I do 1 chewable and 1 capsule. I tried taking apart the capsule and it was worse than the chewable!

    Conflicting Body Images?

    For clarity, the 65 pounds lost is from when I started working with the bariatric program. I actually lost about 50 of that pre-op. I'm only 1 month post op at this time and lost 16 pounds in month one. I'll definitely keep everyone updated. I suspect as I get closer to goal both of these images will still be there, but hopefully the "fat me" one will fade over time!

    Food not digesting in pouch

    in addition to what kcuster83 said (which I agree with), stomachs don't "churn" nearly as much after surgery than they did before....so it's doubly important to chew things really well before swallowing. So that could be another factor (although I agree with the dryness of chicken - lots of people have issues with chicken the first few weeks or months because of that)
