  1. girl dont even think about the negative part of this surgery cuz there is NONE its for your own good and to better yourself and lookin even more sexy. all those food we were able to have were bad and prob made us feel bad after so look at it as a new start and a new beginning to a healthy lifestyle, its not easy thats for sure but all well worth it trust i loved fast food, desserts, pastas and pizza to much and im so thankful that i cant have that anymore. so good luck to you and hope all turns out well.
  2. dont get me wrong im craving a salad but that wont start until next week maybe but im trying to stick only to liquids and i mean like low carb campbells Soups because those are the ones that taste good and protein shakes but eventually ill go back into foods little by little, but if i can get away with JUST liquids and without getting a headache for not eating solid food, then im game, so far so good and no headaches. i struggled the 1st day and got a bad migrane because i didnt eat but i drugged up and took meds lol lol and knocked out. i just need to really invest in some good Snacks and i bought the cottage cheese with pineapple trays and they have protein with low carbs so ill prob start with those and maybe a teaspoon of Peanut Butter...etc...
  3. girl ive been on liquids since monday to and ive been good so far. i have a protein shake for breakfast, for lunch i have a cup of campbells chicken soup or creamy soup and its low on carbs and thats it and for dinner ill have another soup or protein shake. i work at night sometimes or all day so i just keep it simple. what have you been having lately??
  4. sounds good girly, so how do we do this?? ive only had liquids today since im also trying to do the 5 day pouch test to reset my mind again like right after surgery.
  5. it be hard for me to say "what is it to you?" or "So, where did you get your degree in nutrition science?" when i work with dr's, PA's and a nurtritionist lol lol
  6. well im trying to figure this out myself because i was doing cardio but after seeing some of these before and after pics, seems as if some of them are working their stomachs out but i was advised not to do any exercise for my stomach due to the injectable port and possibly moving. my dr told me that theres not much i can do for my stomach but idk if thats true cuz some of these ppl look good with GREAT stomachs unless im missing something.
  7. awesome n i love laughing cow cheese, do u know if there is anything we can have from starbucks
