  3. Kinny mom u will be able to eat again. I haven't had much of a problem. I'm two months out and can eat veggies, chicken etc. I make healthier choices and eat protein first. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. I'm now averaging a loss of 4 lbs a week since being off liquids and I feel great! The first month is rough, hang in there.
  4. Even though its elective it will ne covered. I believe the standard is 3 weeks off but I was extended to 4 and glad. This was not as easy as I thought and need more time to.adjust. those who went back in a week, I can't even imagine.
  5. My first 3days were PTO then STD.
  6. Ask you nUtritioNist if you can use agave. I know there are calories like sugar but you need less and it wont spike your sugar levels like sugar will. I have one coffee a day with it.
  7. I've been putting cottage cheese in my shakes for added protein. I'm finding it hard to also drink the shakes. I sent away for a bunch of sample flavors and still can't find any that are great. I stick with my.muscle milk powder.
  8. I don't know if I should be concerned or not.
  9. I'm 18 days post op and not due for my period for another week. Prior to surgery my period was always on time. I've found for the last few days that my boobs are extremely sore. Pregnant sore, could this be excess hormones?
  10. I think they forgot! What the heck is that, I'd be pissed.

  12. I had surgery on 6/20 and as of Friday I've lost 8.5 lbs. I kind if thought I would have lost a little more. I keep stepping on the stupid scale and I'm up 2 down 2, its so aggravating. I'm going to leave the scale alone for a few days. It stinks to not really br eating and nothing much.going on scale wise.
  13. When can u have a alcoholic beverage?
  14. I could only eat clear liquids the first week.

  16. I had some coconut water and felt a whole lot better. There is lots of good stuff in it and I needed it! I got the one with lowest sugar.
  17. Ok Im not liking these responses. I wish i read this before surgery. Im so bummed about this. Id like to be able to have an appropriate balanced meal and it doesnt look like it will ever happen. Will i ever even be able to have a salad. This is just depressing. I can see why so many wls become alcoholics.
  18. I just drank as I was told 30 ml every 15 min. I saw my Dr 2 days ago and he saidI dont have to do that anymore. Just take a few sips at a time. Im not muchof a drinker anyway and dont feel the need to gulp. I have my water in a marked container so I know how much I have drank and how much more I need to. My prpblem is before surgery I could go all day without drinking.
