It's tough. Anyone that says different is fooling themselves. But you can do it! Stick with it and you'll be so proud of what you can accomplish. During my pre-op diet there was pizza brought in to work for some reason or another. I wanted to cheat so bad. What I ended up doing was peeling a couple of pepperonis off a slice and sucking on them. Satisfied my craving without truly giving in. That's my weird advice - suck on a pepperoni slice or two or three.

Hair loss? The hair will grow back, that is temporary. You need this surgery to live a longer fuller life

Now that does sound so much fun, we se3m to have an active,bunch in my Area doing it all along our Kokosing River biking/ walking Trail.

i did for 15 days as the doctor instructed now i am done with them

Let's try it together maybe?! I've been reading about the pouch reset diet and I think I'll try that. I'm very down about allowing this to happen but I honestly feel like the sweets and crisps cravings are worse now than before I had the op. I remember the weeks after surgery I was able to eat much quicker than I expected to be able to but because I hadn't had any sugar I wasnt craving it at all. Maybe the pouch reset will help break that cycle again.

Yes it's depressing and sad how some of them are so delusional "oh I only eat once a day lol" Then they lie.cheat.hide food from family and loved ones.. They repeatedly waste the Drs time.. And their family just continuously sit Back and feed them the junk killing them.. One episode this lady ate probably 6 times a day huge meals every meal takeaway like how do they afford it number 1? The whole car ride to Houston just stuffing their faces with Crap!

Whew what an up and down 24 hours it's been... Yesterday I was pretty confident that I was finally through my first stall (after 3 full weeks!) and I was feeling good about getting 5km of walking in using my Nordic walking poles. I also have mastered some of my pills... ursodiol and calcium citrate have become my nemesis, because they are both large-ish pills and they get stuck on the way down and trigger vomiting... three times a day each! Turns out I can split my ursodiol in half, and take two smaller pills to get it down, and I can crush my calcium citrate and take it with a bit of apple sauce. Victory! But then I did something pretty stupid and tried to eat half a smokie at dinner. I thought it would work because I have had kielbasa successfully, and I was using mustard as a bit of meat lube, as Fluffy calls it. Yeah... not smart. I spent more than three hours dealing with slimies, foamies, and general vomiting. Ugh! It was awful. The only highlight of the evening was that my Roughriders won their game. This morning, I was up and out for my walk by 6am, got in my 5km (although I'm feeling it a bit... sore legs), and managed my morning Rxs without issue. Even had a great poop! (who knew I could get so excited about that?) and I was down 1.2lb from yesterday! Woohoo! My plan for the day is to take it easy food-wise. Had some greek yoghurt with protein powder for breakfast and am planning on some egg salad for lunch. Giving my poor pouch a break from all the heaving yesterday. Here's hoping to have my first vomit free day in over 3 weeks.

Saw a good friend yesterday, she said " Oh My, you got your hair cut!" Nope, not really, it is still thinning and hasn't grown much. Oh whatever makes her feel good, and no she didn't see how much weight I have lost, how much my booty has become a mini- booty, all she noticed was my less 5han ample red hair.

You don't have to tell her anything. You are going out on medical leave I presume? All you boss has to know is that you are having surgery. Period. If you want to keep your medical history to yourself you have every right. You don't owe anyone an explanation for anything personal.
