Mine has gotten better since I have lost almost 40 pounds. My podiatrist gave me some splints to sleep in at night and that has really helped too.

I have to watch aspartame. I was really nauseous for about 2 weeks. I stopped eating the sugar fee jello and I've been fine since then. I've tries truvia. Its a bit sweet, but it doesn't upset my tummy.

Before 270 Surgery 07/30/12 Current 232 I forgot what I set my goal weight to

I drove the end of the second week. I didnt have much energy before then.

I had a low grade fever for the first few days after I got home. I just kept an eye on it and made sure to drink plenty of fluids. If you're worried though I would call the doctor.

I'm a month out from surgery and I have to basically force myself to eat. I'm not ever really hungry or thirsty, but I eat and drink because I know that my body needs it. I hope that as time goes by that it will become less of a chore

I feel dizzy if I stay out in the heat to long. I go walking in the evenings, when it's a little bit cooler. If it is nasty outside, I try to go to a big store and walk around it.

My goal weight for the competition is 190. I read it wrong and had a brain fart lol

I was hungry up until surgery. I think it was mainly because I knew that I wouldn't be able to eat afterwards. I'm almost 4 weeks post op and I hardly ever get hungry. I eat something every 2 to 3 hours because I know that my body needs the protein.

My NUT told me that it was ok of I had some yogurt or cottage cheese on my pre op diet. I just needed to make sure that most of my protein came from shakes.

I would wait until your surgeon has cleared you.

I can't wait to eat a tomato. Im only 3 weeks post op

I swear that I have like a super sniffer now. Any weird smells bother me. And I can't even stand the smell of coffee, and before surgery I loved to drink coffee.

I guess I need to try my unflavored unjury. I got the strawberry one and it almost made me throw up. So I've been hesitant to try any of the other flavored

I forgot about that. I can't tolerate sweet food any more.

Hiccups hurt really bad.

Saying a prayer for a quick and speedy recovery

Good luck to everyone who has surgery coming up!

I was looking over my list of approved foods, and I can't have pineapple until after 6 weeks. Have you tried the dish with any other types of fruit?

Oh my goodness. I can't imagine what eating real food will feel like

Mine hurts if I start to eat to fast. If it happens, I just put my spoon down and wait several minutes until I try eating again
