No, my hubby is extremely supportive.

I Love Goodwill.

I really feel I did. The first couple of days were rough due to the NG tube but other than that, I've been able to drink and now eat puréed food with no problem. I was walking within hours and I was under for 4 hrs due to scar tissue.

Breakstone live active cottage cheese has 10grams of protein per service. Even milk has protein. I'm use Hood 1% milk which is reduced in carbs and fat and actually taste good. Just a couple of suggestions. Hope it gets better for you.

I'm two weeks post op and lost 14lbs.

I was also told by my Dr that you should weigh in the morning after using the bathroom. Supposedly that is one of the most accurate readings.

I started already. I have mentally told myself that it will reduce loose skin. Can't proof it but I figure if I believe, it may happen. Lol

I'm two wks out and I use the designer protein shake. Not heavy as the pre packaged ones. I also started getting my protein from cottage cheese and today I puréed 2 oz of boiled chicken breast. Just a thought.

It's an extremely low calorie food with no real nutritional. But it's great for weight loss and maintaining. I was never ever able to get passed the fishy smell even after rinsing n boiling.

You are right. I need to stop comparing too. It's always easier said than done of course. Yeah that is almost a lb a day. I started cardio today So I'm hoping that will also help. @Mizzo, hope you go home soon. Thanks everyone. Kudos to all the weight loss.

Slow loser. I have been good and yet I don't lose weight. I lost 13 lbs but I'm sure some was water weight so does it really count. Wednesday will be 2 wks post op. sorry, venting some frustration.

Thanks MadJules.

Sorry, but what does OP mean?

I don't know how to add on my fitness pal. Pls add me. I truly appreciate. Alyjourneys

This is great. How can I add people. I'm new and just today I was realizing that I'm over my calorie counts and this would help me so much. Alyjourneys

I guess feel different. I haven't always agreed with health insurance but I'm thankful for it. Ultimately they end up paying a whole lot more for our individual services than what we paid them. IMHO

Lol. I got mine a few days before surgery too. I trimmed mine.

No. Carbonated drinks are very bad for your new stomach. Pls try something else.

I can understand even though I don't feel the same. It's tough. I will keep you and all are struggling in my prayers. Today it's dark and cloudy, but tomorrow the sun will shine bright.

In the first four wks what would be a good amount of calories.
