So two thumbs up for the pineapple!!!! YUMMMY drinking it now! SO GREAT! I also tried the Barbecue chips on the website and the barbecue snack things sooooo good. Made of soy.

Actually I spend WAY more time eating and drinking now. Before I could just shove down a meal and drink and then be done with my day. Now I have to CONSTANTLY think about eating or drinking something. IT SUCKS MAJOR LOLLIPOPS, but I know eventually things will get better.

Mina - I AM RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE AND WE HAD THE SURGERY AT THE SAME TIME! I don't even like eating solids because they feel so weird. String cheese does melt in your mouth and the spoonful of Peanut Butter does go down easy. 64 oz of Water is like drinking a pool. I feel like the food sits longer in our tummy than others. I remember thinking that before the surgery. I would eat a big meal and not eat until the next day. The food would just sit there for hours. I maybe take three bites of something and I just can't eat anymore. So what am I going to do? I HAVE NO CLUE! I am just hoping that in a couple more weeks things will be different. The protien drinks I drink have 15 grams per drink which is 8oz and they are fruity and good. So if i can get 3 in a day that is 45 grams. So I think I am going to eat a piece of string cheese for Breakfast. Then once I am at work for the next three hours I am going to have 3 drinks. So I am already at 50 grams of protien by lunch. Then once all the Fluid has cleared I nibble on chicken/tuna salad for the next three hours. once that has cleared I drink water for the rest of the night and if I want a snack I have a spoonful of peanut butter. I have been working on this schedule, but not even close to following it because once I eat solid food I can not drink for HOURS so I want to get a lot of fluids in before I eat anything. One piece of string cheese will already be so mushy it will slide through better. I have to drink things with ICE so all the ice I add melts so I probably drink close to 11oz in the hour for the drink. It is like EVERY hour you have to be drinking or eating something. So our schedules are more demanding and it will take time. I would really love an IV right now.

food is overrated now. i just don't care about it. i eat because i have too which is way better than sneaking off to eat 1/2 glazed doughnuts from 7 eleven. And really with all the eating I was doing...it wasn't like I was eating a gourmet meal every night. I was just shoving it in...sometimes it was yummy and sometimes it was whatever. I am happier now. Just working on getting that protien in

I wake up and eat an egg. Then I drink a Protein drink. Then I drink some Water. Then I eat some meat. Then I drink a Protein Drink. Then I drink some water. Then I eat more MEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Then I drink water and my favorite diet tea. Then I eat a piece of cheese. Then I have a popcicle. Then I try to drink another protien drink. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

I am only 5 weeks post op, 34 pounds down and can already tell that i am going to have to have the surgery to remove the skin. BUT I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO IT! So in this losing phase...THANK GOD IT IS DURING THE WINTER! SO maybe next year I can have it all chopped off! I had my boobs chopped off in 99 and that was the best thing ever! I could care less about scars. I am WAY MORE WORRIED about my thighs which were already pretty gross. NOW I am going to have to get those cut off too It is ok. I am excited for all of that. As long as they don't cut through the muscle I would think those surgeries...for most people...would be easier to recover from.

I was still winded and tired at 3 weeks. And I still had incision pain. Everyone's timeline for feeling better is different. I am FREAKIN tired today. I am almost 6 weeks out. It is ok. I am sure everything will get to a good place eventually.

Wow. I am right where you are. I don't have buyers remorse at all because I still think this yucky feeling is better than feeling guilty that I ate 8 pieces of fried chicken. I literally just ate some salmon, and I had to stop eating. I gave the rest to my co-worker I wanted it out of my office immediately. I am still loosing. 3 pounds this past week. I am not getting near enough calories. I may go get a frozen yougurt today. I think i am getting to a place where I don't care what I eat I need to eat so whatever I can bite here and there just to get down. I think maybe I will take the rest of the day to focus on fluids. I feel like my sleeve isn't liking protein very much. I feel so weird when I eat protien, but let me eat a bite of mashed potatoes and my sleeve doesn't mind that at all. Today is the first day I have ever taken a bite of food and literally wanted to spew everything. I got the foamies. I am also so tired. I just want to sleep. I like not eating way more than eating. i really haven't found anything that feels good to eat. I am terrified of losing too much weight. i know my muscles are messed up right now I can see them going away. Not a good day BUT I STILL KNOW THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!

I have decided not to really ask this question anymore because everyday is different. Today I ate two cups of chilli from 1 to 5pm and never felt full, but satisfied. Sometimes it feels as though there are air pockets in between the pieces of food. Sometimes I don't feel anything and sometimes I feel like the food is in my throat so I just throw it up. I don't ever really feel full like I used to, but I am also not really hungry so when I am sort of hungry I eat a couple of bites and that feeling goes away. I love soups and anything mushy no weird feelings just goes in. Eating regular food it still feels weird. I literally feel every bite go down in load itself into my stomach. I feel like eating is never normal and full will never happen again. I don't even really care about that feeling because that is the feeling that made me depressed. I just don't like the air pockets feelings.

I just ordered that one. Will have it tomorrow. I can let you know. The lemonade and lemon razzy are good, but I order a TON of stuff yesterday so I am going to try it all!

Thanks. I am going to really try to see what I can do. String cheese is really the only thing that truly melts in my mouth so when I swallow it I can eat a whole piece no problem. I got a tuna sandwich for lunch and just finished it. So it took me forever to get the tuna down. Of course I don't eat the bread. I will go to walmart this week to get a scale as I have a gift card coming I just wonder how the sleeve stretches. I wouldn't mind being able to consume a bit more as I know I can make the healthy choices. I just know my hair is going to fall out. My muscles were really strong, and I can feel them going away. I guess hopefully whatever happens in the next six months once I am able to consume more I can start regaining my muscle and building myself back up.

This is what I don't like and don't want to do. If I did what you did I would make sure I was consuming around 150 grams of protien a day. I don't ever want to be in a deficit that is why I am not working out until I can consume more protien and calories. I am not sure this is really a good thing. This topic is one that isn't readily available. If you were in Hunter mode then you would be eating. Our bodies adjust to periods of not eating, but in the cave man days you were more sedentary during that time v. when you were hunting. You are doing a crazy workout. You need to eat!

I couldn't make the first payment. So they said you have to be late like 4 months to lose the promotion so I just paid $100 for the first payment...this month July 2011 I owe $1000. No problem. I will make the payment, but it isn't due until next week and because I was late last month they literally call me 3 times a day on my cell phone and work phone. THEY ARE CRAZY!

I think I am going to go back to the basics and try out my chilli and soups again. I can add unflavored protein. I guess I just don't know how much I am eating, but I know it isn't a lot. I really would love to get in 100 grams of protien a day. I have some more samples headed my way. Nectar sample pack. I will just keep looking for more.

I am totally going to get some refried Beans in tonight. I was afraid of the carbs, but at this point my calories are so low adding an additional 150 from beans should be ok. I did buy some dry roasted edamame from nutsonline.com. 1.8 oz has 18 grams of protien and 210 calories. I just don't know how much 1.8 oz is because I don't have scale.

My thoughts on this are I shouldn't be losing so much, and I would like to lose 6 pounds a month until I get to goal weight which would take me well over a year. I would like to be able to eat enough to manage this process, but I can't so it looks like I will lose more weight in the beginning and not by choice. If you are able to eat more then I would suggest a slower path. I just can't eat anything.

I am barely getting in 300 calories with all the diet stuff they have you drinking and food just sits there for an hour after just 3 or 4 bites. I have not started working out because I am afraid I will lose too much since I can't really eat. I still have not found any protien supplements that are good. Just got some Unjury's chicked Soup and some of these fruity drinks that you mix, but it is not enough to go full on working out. I am not losing at a considerable pace, but I wouldn't mind stalling for a few weeks just to let my body readjust. No stalls here. 2 pounds a week right now. I can already see my skin start to look not so great, but I also feel like I am losing muscle. I enjoy the weight loss, but 300 calories a day just seems WAY TOO LOW. I feel ok. Tired a little and probably dehydrated a little. I have to wait an hour before I can drink anything after I eat just three bites of food and right now sometimes I feel like I have to choose between eating or drinking. Like I can't do both. I am NEVER HUNGRY. I know that I have to eat. I don't forget, but eating is like punishment. I ate 3 thin slices of turkey meat about 30 minutes ago and it is still there. That was about an ounce of meat. I would give anything just to be able to eat 4 oz. If I can eat only an ounce of food one month out, how will I ever be able to eat a cup of food? Am I still swollen? Does it stretch? And what is really crazy is I went for a walk and was so thirsty. I was able to knock back a bottle of gatorade in no time, but normally I can not drink that much. I remember before surgery food would sit in my tummy for FOREVER. That hasn't changed. The amount of time it takes to digest something...I will have to look that up...Is that based on metabolism. I started to dip my turkey meat in a full fat dressing (no carbs) just to get my calories up a little. Then I can only eat two slices.

I had to make my own. They didn't give me one which I didn't quite understand. With our bellies not being tucked in I could feel it pulling on the incisions. My big incision is still giving me problems and i am almost month out, but with my binder I can pretty much do everything. It sucks it all in. I figure I will wear it until I am able to hold my own tummy in without pain and can work out without pain. Not working out yet. I wore a chest binder when I had breast reduction surgery for a month. It just holds everything in place while it all heals. Makes sense to me.

I only got to 180 once in my life, and I was still a size 14 bottom and 12 top. I am 5'10. I will never be an 8 bottom This was from 2003 to 2006. This feeling was so awesome that when I gained all the weight back I have been depressed ever since. I got to taste what skinny feels like and MAN IT FEELS GOOD. I had more dates than I knew what to do with, and I went on them and literally was on top of the world. I remember some jerko saying I would be a 10 if I just lost more in my tummy. Hey...A little tummy is sexy. Well I can not wait for this feeling again. I LOVE IT. NOBODY likes fat people. It is so sad, but I got better job offers, people didn't even care about my background I could have flown a plane and they would have been like ok...You got the job. It isn't right because not all fat people are lazy slobs that are slackers at work. So this time I want to get to 160. I don't ever remember being 160 ever. AND I AM GOING TO MILK IT FOR ALL ITS WORTH. I am going to take the motivation I have and instead of getting caught up in the dates...I am going to do it big. I want to DANCE. I want to sing. I want to ACT. I want to be on the radio. When you are skinny and pretty no one even cares about you. I actually always used to feel sorry for really skinny and pretty girls because time after time they dated men who would just date them because they looked good and didn't care about their insides. BUT I HOPE this happens to me because this time...Oh ok...I would love to date you...Can you get me an audition for that movie It is tough world out there and being fat for me...Just isn't an option anymore. So for those that this is the first time being skinny...Don't allow yourself to be a fat girl on the inside. I made that mistake for three years. Now I am going to be a skinny b***h. If someone stares at you STARE RIGHT BACK AT THEM AND WINK! SHOW OFF YOUR STUFF. Don't stick out your toungue or turn away. WEAR THAT SHORT SKIRT and rock those heels. THERE IS NOT ONE MORE DAY TO WASTE BEING A FAT GIRL ANYMORE.

I just knew I was going to be the one who bounced right back so I just took a week. Surgery on a Monday back to work the next. Oh I went back to work and on Tuesday I was crying my eyes out when I got back home. I had to take the next three days off, and I didn't get out of bed until Sunday. TWO WEEKS at the minimum and then go back to work if you feel better and are a bouncer back. I also wanted the third week of 1/2 days, but that didn't happen. I pushed through the third week and this is my fourth week now, and I am ok. This morning I feel good. Gatorade G2 helped so much with dehydration. I didn't wake up this morning with a dry mouth.

Having negative thoughts constantly is a terrible thing. People on here have a bad day and then find relief. This seriously pretty girl is trippin and needs some tough love. THERE IS NO GOING BACK. So she needs to saddle up, get off this site which just allows her to be negative all the time and find some happy things to do. This place is the only place where someone who constantly has negative thoughts can have someone feel sorry for them. I am my mother's child and she would tell me to stop wallowing in my negative thoughts. NO ONE ON THIS SITE WOULD DO THAT. Support is one thing, but if my mother ever heard me say what she just said about regretting it every day because I can't eat with my friends...After I cried and cried about being fat...She would slap me. She didn't say she was in pain. She didn't say she was having a compllication. She was saying she regrets it everyday because she can't eat with her friends. Nope sorry. Not gonna let that one go. Well I am certain to be a pariah now, but I just couldn't let another day go by where this...DID YOU SEE HER...SHE IS SO PRETTY...girl wallows in her own self-pity or if it isn't pity possibly maybe needs to seek out some therapy if she could be depressed.
