I guess so because I think hay is too carby.

Of course, of course

I welcome you but I'm confused. I had severe reflux before surgery. Mine went away. Maybe each Dr is different.

Of course you're welcome but what was the call about?

You look so cute in it! Congrats on your wonderful success!

I loooove Flamin' Hot Cheetos! That is all.

Good, no need to be scared. You'll do great! See you on the other side.

Lol, after today any place you poop is a good thing lol

I already get in 4. 20oz water bottles a day.I couldn't possible get in more. I make the first bottle when I wake up and drink until I go to bed at night.

I just had to accept that I will lose slower than everyone else. I really don't care that much anymore as long as the scale moves in the right direction. Pre surgery 240 surgery date 7-16 229, 8-14 215 so I think I average 1/ 2 lb per day. Everyone else seems to do much better but I'm ok with this way now.

I'm very glad you were able to go. Post surgery I have learned that at least for me it is a daily job. Get your fiber in with Benefiber or something. You will not get any in otherwise for a long while and you will find yourself impacted even worse. Get at least the 64 oz water as soon as you can and take stool softeners if OKed by your Dr. I add 2 tsp benefiber to every water bottle I drink now. I also chew 2 fiber gummies a day. Each time I do it its 12% of my daily req. I hope your recovery is fast and easy.

Damaris67, i hadn't tought of that. I had high BP before surgery and took 2 meds. My BP was too low in the hospital during surgery and wasn't back up afterward. They took away my meds for it because it was like 100/60 since sometime during surgery. Maybe its still dropping. I'm going to se my pcp today so maybe he'll know something.

Wonderful! I'm so happy for you and your family! 5 of my 7 kids are adopted and each one was a joy.

I am not an athiest. They love you and they love and believe in God and know that you don't. They will and have prayed for you. They have prayed for your soul, your health and your well-being. In fact, the more your reject their beliefs the more they pray for you. You can be annoyed but you'll never be able to stop them. Just look at it as love because thats what its about.

I don't have any recipes for you but I do have 5 big cans of it. I stocked up before surgery without ever tasting it. It does taste and smell like tuna to me. Yuck! I'll give it away to the first one tha will take it. I hope you find some good recipes that make it taste good.

Butterthebean, if I had half of the determination and drive you have I would not have found myself in this predicament. I would love to be able to say I could do this. What a boost to self esteem and what a lesson to teach my kids. I downloaded the app and I will give this a try in a few months or sooner if I feel 100% back to health (my normal anyway).

I do have young kids. I have 7 kids ranging in age from 39 to 9 (seriously). 3 are grade school age.

Do I have that? Maybe. I am pretty cranky. I just feel sick and very weak. My surgeon is far away and doesn't call me back. I am so frustrated trying to stuff enough protein and water in to make it go away so I feel stronger but it isn't working yet. I am on my forth huge jug of water for the day which will give me 80oz but its half water and half gatorade with 2 dashes of fiber shaken in just for FLAVOR!

What this? What did I do?

Why yes! Does it show?

I don't feel good today and I don't have a drop of Je ne sais quio in me anyway. I reread paragraph 2 from the OP and there is not a blasted thing that reads compliment or a remote possibility of a compliment to me. Jealousy, check. Socially inept check. Embarrassed, Serious doubts ( at least when I am embarrassed I try to escape a situation, not wail " show me your belly" in a Dr's office, with a growing line no less!) Camaraderie, Don't buy it. I still see nothing but a woman that is likely jealous and has no personal filter (unprofessional employee). She has probably created similar issues with other patients of a similar BMI as the original poster.

I believe you. I have been trying hard all day to get more of both in. I am doing everything I can to hit the numbers you gave. I did get an appt for Wed with my pcp (I will ask for labs to be done) and the 20th with my GI Dr. I honestly didn't try my surgeon. He's too far away from me and besides, my dentist phoned him a week ago to inquire about meds I can use after an uncoming dental surgery and he has yet to return the call. I never thought he would call back personally but surely his office could have by now.

OMG, she would be on the wrong side of the bosses desk rethinking her mouth control right about now if it were me. I had several nurses act like I was not a candidate on my surgery day. was 5'5" and 229 (down from 240). I had a list of co-morbidities. I was mad at them and almost felt like if they said it louder I would be snatched off the gurney by someone declaring a mistake lol.

I do get heart racing but I did before surgery too. Sometimes it feels like 100 mph. If I start to feel a bit better and move around a bit it doesn't last long. I can't understand getting less strength and energy instead of more over time.

I haven't been running a fever but I have felt like I was. Many times having that fever breaking suddenly sort of feeling. I put a call in to my GI Dr to ask about PPI and I'm waiting for a call back from my pcp. The dietician told me 60g protein and 64 oz water on the day after surgery. I have worked hard to get there and stay. You mean it isn't enough? I don't know anything about the kg formula.
