laylasmojo

I totaly crave salads also but if I am honest with myself I just dont have the room for it if I eat all my protein

I bought a stick blender and just pureed any meat that I wanted with what ever saue I wanted it may not look very yummy but its not all that bad

I would not worry about it to much your body is in a state of shok and yes your weight will fluctuate up and day every day all day long so maybe you should be one of the people who only weigh once a week. as for the three week stall that is perfectally normal and I promise you as long as you are following your dr's guidelines you will begin to loose again.

Okay well the last two times I entered a chalenge I hit a major stall the next week so here is to keeping my fingers crossed so that will not happen. So this is an agressive goal for me becuas of the recent stalls and it is only 8 pounds away from my overall goal so I guess I am just going to have to get my ass in gear and make it work! Good luck to you all I know you will do great

If you only have to do one bottle you are lucky I had to do two bottles the day before plus only liquids the day before that. My only warning is to make sure you stay home and keep a bathroom open for you, Good Luck.

The reason that you hold b12 under your tounge for a min is because that is where it is best absorbed, you do the same thing with the pill form or sublingual b12 and eventually you do swallow it, it wont hurt you.

Well I made my goal on the 15th a day late but I will take it!

your holiday WAS the 15th....

I was aslo worried about the cath, I did wind up getting one but they put in in after I was out of it and they took it out in recovery while i was still rather dopy and dident care. So it turned out to be not as big a deal as I had originaly thought. As for the UTI deffinatly talk to the dr before had to see if they can work with you.

My Nut also says three meals and no snacks and that seams to work for me. I think that all nuts and drs have different educations and there for differing views on subjects. you just need to listen to their advice and then listen to your body and come up with a plan that works for you that combines both. As for the PPI my Surgen has me on mine for a full year, all though I don't know if I ever want to stop as the last time I ran out I was "hungery" all the time and when I take them I am never hungery. Sounds like you are doing awsome so just keep up the good work.

oh and also there is a WLS meet and greet in Vegas in may i think the days are the 13,14,15, but all the info is on the weight loss surgery foundation of america web site.

I think this sounds like a great idea, All of the locations sound great but if Vegas is chosen let me know if I can help with any of the planning as Vegas is where I live.

I was told to stay away from coconut.

I was told by my surgen that I could start using the bike or treadmill right away but had to wait 6 weeks for strenious work outs or weights

Could you hunger be caused by acid? Are you taking a PPI? If not you should talk to your surgen. As for the amount that you can eat you should try and follow the 4 oz rule allways measure out your food before you eat it and only eat what you measure out. you may not be getting the full feeling because the nerves in your stomach were just cut and are trying to heal right now. Plus liquids dont allways make you feel full which will get better when you get to the puree or mushie stage. Good Luck and try to form new habbits now while you are still fresh out.

you may want to check with your nut becuase in most plans 4 oz means volume like 1/2 cup not 4 oz in weight.

you could try care credit, it is a company that does medical credit cards. or you could just google medical loans. Or talk to the surgen that you are going through sometimes they have financing in houe. Good Luck

They do a leak test before you leave the hospital so there should be no reason that you cant go that far away. But if something should happen (very very unlikely0 you can just go to the nearest ER.

Good Luck hope you have an uneventful surgery and recovery! Let us know how everything goes

It 100% gets better day by day week by week! The first week or two are the hardest but you need to just trudge through them with a positive aditude knowing that you have done the right thing for you.

Congrats on your sucess so far I am sure you will see that 2 in front in no time. Keep up the great work!
