I just had these ^^^^ OMG! So good! I used SF maple Syrup on top. I felt so normal and happy! I"m menstrual so I needed something sweet and this hit the spot.

Gatorade G2 has been a life saver... Lots of flavors! And unsweetened tea (not caffeine free... I only do it 1-2x a week)

Hey Ranee!!! I didn't realize you had made it over here!

Magnesium citrate is satan in a bottle.

I haven't tried nuts or nut butters yet. But it just sounds delish. But you know what I just remembered???? I have PB2 in the cabinet! I can use that and milk. Muahahhahahahaa! RNY, you have not defeated me this time!

I hope nobody ever thinks I"m being snotty. I feel like a bariatric idiot... I stumble through this thing daily. The grocery store makes me feel like a child because I don't know what's okay to touch and what's not. Usually when I make a comment like "Really?!?! ARe you sure that's okay?!?!" It's because I"m thinking "If it is okay, I'm definitely doing it!" LOL! Maybe I should start including that part so people will know I'm not shocked at what they're doing, but rather exploring what *I* can do too. Like Peanut Butter and oatmeal. Anyone here see a problem with that? Because I'm about to eat it.

Being a nurse myself for over 18 years, I can tell you that each patient's pain threshold is different. Also some medications just do not work for some people. You may give a tiny dose to one person and they sleep all day and another you could give a dosage big enough to drop a horse and it just does not work.

Wow I feel like the girl that walked in late for the party. Not sure what happened, but I have always felt most of us are positive. My doctor seems to be very easy going with guidelines, and I think it is so interesting that there are so many different opinions on this surgery and after care. I also know that I am by no means an expert and learn knew things everyday as my body changes and heals. I am 8 months post op and what I do today is very very different from 1 month post op.

My surgery was 12-12-12. I too was sleeping on my stomach at 5 days out. Gas pain lasts about a week.

The pain was 1/10th of what my foot surgery. I actually had little to no abdominal pain. It was the shoulder pain (from the gas they pump your stomach up with) that was the worst for me. I used the pain pump a lot in the hospital, but was also able to get up and shower, put on my own pj's, walk the halls, etc. A heating pad seems to help with some of the shoulder/upper back pain. If you survived foot and knee, you're going to fly through this without issue.

I'm so tired of eating the same things over and over again. I'm so hungry right now but sick of everything I usually eat.

Broke the stall!!!!!!!

Y'all are so freakin brave! I eat the same 5 food over and over again, lol.

Eye mask! They flick on those lights for every little thing.

Soccermomma73, you made me spew Water everywhere!!! Hilarious!

Still stuck in the stall from hell (on day 17 now), but I finally had my husband just hide the scale last night. I couldn't take it anymore. I so wish I could stomach the gosh darn Protein drinks!

I personally don't want anything on my body to be any looser than it already is. So I choose to lose it, rather than loose it.
Join me, will you?
This has been a friendly yet smartass grammar lesson. Take the knowledge and apply. Thanks!

We can do this! I just wish the diarrhea from the citrate would stop, I have to drive an hour!

I did it guys!!!!!
700 calories, 61g Protein (my nut only requires 60), and will be at 32oz of Water before bed. Water could be better, but this is my best day so far. Not to mention my potassium symptoms are gone and I've successfully completed 2 days of nursing school. (Was terrified of failing due to not feeling well) AND I got my first THREE iv attempts in the first try. I'm amazing
