Yeah, if there's a time to be strict about your diet, it the first four-six weeks when you're healing. Good luck and CONGRATZ on the 20lbs!

Try Boost High Protein... Although its kinds sweet, it tastes really good.

My port site is SORE!!!! And black & blue... Nurse said he had a little difficulty finding the spot for the needle, but now he knows exactly where it's at (for next time). I wouldn't say I FEEL restriction, but I know sometimes it takes a few days to feel it. Back in three weeks for another fill. Eggs & cottage cheese sound really good right about now. LoL.

Eeeeee, I'm not too fàmiar with other parts of this forum yet, but I'm glad to hear that!

Thanks!! 3cc and no problem drinking water.... Now for that chicken broth!

Waiting for my FIRST fill. Excited, nervous & hungry

Have you reached goal??

Chewing gum only hours after surgery helped me with cardboard mouth.

My GOD! You've taken about 8 years off!!!! Awesome!

I crush my crunch cravings with macadamia nuts.

^^^^ JEALOUS!!!

Take baby steps, darling! And don't worry, we ALL have our doubts every once in a while. By baby steps I mean take it 10 lbs at a time. Set a goal to lose the next TEN LBS ONLY, so that you're not overwhelmed with the big number. I have about 90 pounds more to go but I'm focusing on my next 10. My goal is to be 210 by September 28 (anniversary) if its more than that, well, that's just icing on the cake; however, anything less than that would be unacceptable!! Push on, honey, you're gonna be successful because you REALLY WANT THIS and you really DESERVE this!! XOXOXOXO

Who eats with their eyes???

...and there's eating with our EYES

A BANDit lieutenant. I love it!! LoL

Yeah, guys, I haven't gotten my first fill yet. I can't wait to feel like that first week post op.

You can go to sleep early...!!! You can ask your primary doctor to prescribe phentermine, it suppresses your appetite & that can help you throughout these tough days. Also, adding a 5th shake wouldn't hurt, IMO.
