I guess I was one of the fortunate ones that didn't have a drain... Good luck.

Take your measurements too... I wish I had done that.

Prayers be with you! Keep us posted!

Try adding a small amount of sugar-free pudding mix to your shakes. Made a big difference in taste to me! And it gives you a variety.

Wow...that's amazing. I was on liquids for 2 weeks after, then soft, mushy foods for almost 2 weeks, then gradually reg diet.

Put ice in a blender, then your liquids & protein powder... Nice & thick like a Wendy's Frosty only better for you! Also try adding sugar free pudding mix (only a little) it will give you more flavor.

I know if I was ever "Thanksgiving Full" I would throw up!!! I know how bad it feels to over eat a little...

Oh, but in the end, it's so worth it!

Did you eat to much? I heard that can happen. Although I have never experienced it myself...

Atkins Protein Bars & Health Wise are sooo good. I buy the Health Wise at my surgeons office ( Chocolate Caramel Crunch). Atkins Chocolate Chip Granola & Peanut Butter Granola bars are great...

You are doing great & it shows!

6 months out & down 80 lbs. Dr wants me @ 150, I would like 140. So I only have 20 - 30 lbs left to goal...

Atkins Bars. I only eat the ones with 10 grams of protein or more for a meal replacement.Peanut butter granola is my favorite! The do have some that are great if you just want a snack too... Also, Health Wise has a Caramel Crunch Bar that tastes just like a candy bar & has 15gms of protein.

I use Centrum Silver (as I'm over 50) Chewables 2 a day~ Citrus Berry flavor They taste pretty good to me. I also use Citratcal Citrate + D in petite size 2 a day. Bariatric Iron chewy bites (Chocolate raspberry) those taste like a tootsie roll to me, so it's like candy once a day. And 2 times a week I use B-12 liquid sublingual. I started taking Biotin for hair loss (as a precaution).

We had ground turkey tacos for Cinco de Mayo...

Drink & walk, drink & walk... takes your mind off of food. I also eat a protein bar when I get munchie!

Way to go... Isn't that a great feeling??? Keep up the good work!

My surgeon was surprised that eggs bothered me, as they are one of the first "actual" foods we are allowed. After 6 months I can now eat scrambled eggs, I just don't eat much of them.

Feels more like someone punched you right in the very top of your stomach. I get the burps when I eat to much also. I walk around until the feeling passes! Walking helps soooo much.

Laying down for me, makes me want to vomit... Walking is much better.

I'm going to ask my Dr. when I go on the 8th for a card.

I told close family & friends before my surgery. Then as the weight came off, I started a transformation album on my Facebook so everyone could see!
