I bought some special k red berry protein waffles. I cut it in half and spread just a tad of SF strawberry jam on it...was pretty tasty. My family came to visit and I made them regular waffles for them and I had mine

I'm 8 weeks out and I completely know what your talking about. Just taking a shower would leave me exhausted! I know some people can, but I couldn't get my protein in because I couldn't sip that much. It gets better I promise. About 4 weeks out I was getting my 60 of protein. Now, I can pretty much drink like I did preop and getting 100 a day of protein. I found the more protein I got in, the more energy I had and the better I felt. Hangin there, each day it gets better.

Yes...their like Gatorade. I don't know why you couldn't have them IMO.

That's so funny. Mines Marvin...the Martian lol

So I have a head cold. I usually take DayQuil/NyQuil gelcaps (preop), and am 8 weeks postop now. Wasn't thrilled about swallowing what I'm remembering and making out in my head...a huge pill, so I got liquid tylenol cold. Swallowed the first tbsp and it burned all the way down my throat and into my sleeve. It's like I could feel it coat my sleeve. Food, drink, nothing has bothered me, but this stuff is setting my tummy on fire. Drank some water thinking it might help flush it down but still have some discomfort. Didnt even attempt the second tbsp. Anyone else ever had this problem?

I have done this also and they just charged me for a Soup

I got mine in February. They said 3-4 weeks but at 3 1/2 they called and said they were behind and asked if I wanted to expedite or change my trip...I paid the expedite fee over the phone.

just had it for lunch.. roasted chicken and got about 2 inches down. is it real chicken? I chewed and chewed and chewed and it didn't break down like regular chicken. next time I will do roast beef.

A 6" would probably be 3 or 4 meals for me lol

How does the flatbread weigh up? Thumbs up or down (carbs)?

It's a shaved ice place...fruit cups...coffee...flavored drinks...there all over down here. Very yummy. Tofu smoothies? Umm eww. That gives me a mental picture of chunky mushy yuck lol. I want something cold and refreshing when it's 115 degrees outside!

That was a good movie. Some of y'all surprise me. Pickle juice is a standard at any snow cone stand down here...even bahama bucks has it. I love pickles. I will put some juice in tuna...deviled eggs... or just drink it. My aunt always gave us a little to sip on when we had an upset stomache and it worked...still do it now...well I did pre surgery lol

I think I like your surgeon. What does he say about diet soda? LOL

Mmmm did you use vegetable oil or sub olive? I hate olive. There. I said it.

Exclude beef from my diet? Please...as Ron White says, I'm doing my part to help the environment...I'm eating the cows!! PS this is not my attempt to start a save the planet debate, it is just my attempt at a little humor

I don't know why you can't fly. There's a ton of us that fly back from Mexico and travel for hours and are perfectly fine...?

I haven't seen that one. I did find the strawberry and grape crush packets today someone was talking about on one of the forums. I also got some trop 50 OJ and it's pretty tasty

When I get my TT done I'm gonna ask for them not to make me one so I can freak people out in a bathing suit lol. I have a tattoo above mine now...will probably end up on my pubic bone lol

That's the one I was looking at...will have to go with that one!

I put a cup f regular in my protein drink last night...it was good

I am wondering about Taboule? Bulgar wheat is a whole grain, insoluble fiber, and complex carb. My grandma used to make it with chopped ham in it and extra cucumber...mmm lol. I'm thinking it would be something good to pack with my protein for lunch occasionally. Any thoughts?

I think y'all are on to something. We should set something up centrally located in TX and get together on a Saturday

I actually buy the big gallon valssic for $4 at Walmart (whole dills) and get out my food processor. I make the dill relish, hamburger slices, nd them slice them like stackers. Saves a lot of money!

Sleeved 3/1. 6 weeks out and down 25 lbs, 44 total since preop!

I use the dill pickle relish too. I can eat anything now, but sometimes I will get a peeling in something that just won't chew up no matter how mushy I chew it. I spit the peel out jut to be safe.
