Sorry you had such a rough start. Welcome to the loser's bench!!

They make a sugar free limeade that is awesome. Get a large on and then you have that great ice to munch on!!

I second the Quest Bars. They are delicious! They have 20 grams of protein and are all natural. I ordered the variety box from their website.

I liked having it with canned juice packed pears. Yummy!

A great soft food that saved me during that phase was fat free refried beans heated up with a little melted cheese on top. It was heaven!!

Thanks for the input. Yes, I am hoping I will be off my BP meds!

I am almost 3 months out and doing great. I have noticed lately that when I stand up I get a bit light headed. I am getting tons of liquids in so I know I am not dehydrated. I am still on the blood pressure meds and wonder if maybe I don't need them anymore?? I have my 3 month check up this week and will find out. I just wondered if others had had the same experience?

I would recommend bumping up your exercise intensity. That's what gets me through stalls!

10 pounds a month is the average the dr. told me. You should be pleased!!

I did the same thing and it is totally normal. I remember having a few bad days and crying so much! I think part of it is the "let down." Think about it, you have been preparing for this for MONTHS and then it is finally over. You know what I mean? Your body is going through lots of changes and things DO get better!

That is awesome!!

Totally normal!! I had it the first few days I was home.

Yep, that is the best plan!!

Don't buy them!! I got some when I ordered my PB2 and I ate the whole bag. They are tiny peanut butter cookies!! I of course ate the whole bag BEFORE my surgery!!

I am 9 weeks out and some days I am so hungry. Other days I have a hard time getting all my protein in and eating enough! Anybody else like this?
