  1. I confess I drink wine and coffee...regularly. I eat pretty much what I feel like but in much much smaller portions. Yesterday I had a slice of bacon for breakfast as my protein. I bought a shirt that would never have fit over "the girls" and told the sales clerk even though it didn't fit I "planned on a clobbering via the diet fairy soon" knowing next month I'll be good to go! I still feel like a chub-ster even though I'm down nearly 40 in 5 weeks. I haven't told anyone but my husband & my folks.. I'm afraid of food. It hurts via heartburn sometimes. I miss fizzy drinks of anything! I feel like a rockstar for flying to Mexico by myself and doing this on the QT. I have waaaayyyyy more energy and my house is still a mess. Maybe the "diet fairy" could shack up with the "cleaning fairy" in my brain and they could make a "doing laundry fairy" baby. My sense of humor has returned and I'm a happy, relaxed camper again. Thanks for the confessional!
  2. Don't know about sugar free Greek frozen yogurt. Sorry. This mornings adventure in foods is protein shake in my morning cup of coffee as creamer...any way we can do it, right! By the way, dairy gold brand has a protein milk with 20 grams of protein that doesn't taste like poo in the milk isle!
  3. Oh, sweetie, me too! I am constantly fighting heartburn and I dread eating. I'm almost a month out ( July 9 surgery). Soup is a lifesaver, but it still hurts. I take Rx omeprezole or Prilosec daily and that really helps me at night. Try some frozen Greek yogurt. Helps with the heat and you get more protein. It's new in the ice cream case at the supermarket. Just know that you're not alone in feeling poopy. I don't visit this site too often, but I came here because I'm feeling the same way. I'm afraid almost of eating and I hate that. I really believe we will feel much better soon! Other things to try...a slug of pepto bismal before you eat or drink, hot drinks in the am, and sorbets or icecream sprinkled with tasteless protein powder. Just watch out for killer yeast infections with eating sugary stuff what with your immune system low. Acidophilus milk should help with that a bit, as I had to remind myself yesterday. We're going to be okay. Right now just kinda stinks. I'm afraid this will last forever, but I'm down to 218 from 248 so it helps. And my brain knows it cant last forever. We can do this!
