Sounds like a success story!! Glad you're posting.

I too am almost 2 weeks out. I could really relate to all you said. I feel the same. Someone on this site told me - you will have all those foods again, just NOT NOW. I already kinda knew that, but it did help me feel better just to tell myself I was going to eat my favs again later. Also, I am starting to look into a gym membership. Maybe that's what we need to do. I hear those endorphins that are released during exercise can make us feel a whole lot better. Then of course, seeing the weight drop off is going to fill a gap too. I'll be interested to hear what others have to say also. Hang in there! Hugs.

yes, pureed veggies sound like puke. But some yummy grilled ones, that's another story....

you're right! gotta remember our priorities.

I'm going to check out that ProJoe.....thanks

Absolutely, I totally understand what you're going through. I went out with hubby and suddenly really, really wanted a sandwich. 2 pieces of bread, meat, mayo, cheese, lettuce, tomato. I'm still on full liquids so that is totally out of question. I almost cried. Just remember, the weight is going to start falling off, making us feel better about it; and WE WILL be able to eat more in the future. I send you a sister in misery hug!

and can you tell me how much protein is in a jar of baby food meat?

I'm just sitting here thinking about vegetables (should I get my head examined?). When you go to a "regular" diet, what vegetables are easiest to digest? What did you start with? Was there a method you used to introduce others? Can you tolerate all? Are there veggies that some can never tolerate again? Just curious.....

Where in Michigan? I had mine at University of Michigan on 4/23/12.

Nancy - I hope you don't mind, I just added you as a friend. We have waaayyy too much in common not to stay in touch.

Amen! I relate so well also. I'm just glad I wasn't too late. I told myself all through my 40s, don't waste anymore time. I turned 50 - same old crap. I am now 56 and I was DETERMINED not to let ALL of my 50s slip through my fingers. Sleeved 4/23, and not one little teeny weeny regret. Thank you for your honesty.

Heating pad.

OMG I just came across you on this site and saw this post. How absolutely beautiful. I bet you never thought something like that would happen to you. God bless you! I was sleeved 4/23 and look forward to being thin and healthy. I also have 2 stepsons, whose mother died when they were 5 and 10, so they lived with us after that. I am so happy for you and what a romantic, heartwarming proposal. Made my day!

Me neither that's why I asked. So many people like the chicken unjury, and I just couldn't take it - mainly the foam and it also had a strange taste to me. I'm having a hard time with all the protein products now. I can still tolerate Unjury Vanilla (which I think is the best around). I like to mix it with orange crystal light or just milk too. Defnitely not cheap though.

You need so much fluid not to get dehydrated. Caffeine dehydrates, so then you have to consume even MORE fluid to counteract it.

Amazing lady!! Take it easy and enjoy your success. Go at your own pace for sure! Hugs, Joni

newfoundlove - does your unjury chicken broth have a layer of foam on top?

Way too much temptation with them sitting on the counter....baby steps, at least for me. Definitely good to be forgiving of yourself.

Dorrie - So it's a vanilla powder, not a drink in a bottle? You mean a container like all the other protein powders? Where do you purchase it?

Good - let me know if they have caffeine or not, protein amount, brand, and all that jazz....

OUTRAGEOUS!!! How dare them to do this to you at this stage of the game. I don't know legalities but I definitely see your insurance company in the wrong, and a fight you will win. Please don't let this upset you too much - it's not worth it when it's THEIR MISTAKE IF THEY PAID. I agree, call a lawyer and find every piece of paper you have. Good luck.

Dorrie - is that isopure vanilla one of those clear drinks in a bottle? I've never heard anyone mention that one. Where did you get your recipes? eggface?

Love it! I think my food addiction is now switched to forum addiction! :wub:

Hey, are you seeing any difference in your arms? I have to know if it's working so I can order!!!!
