Thanks don!

Don, its my phone

Thank you balleroom. That makes sense. My husband will love it. :-)

I have two toddlers and have found the sippy cups work well and you dont swallow air. And with me if i drink to much at a time my stomach feels weird so they are perfect because its hard to get to big of a drink out at a time

My friend and i both had surgery on may 28th. She was up and shopping in the mall the day we got discharged, when i still couldnt even stand up strait. It took me about 4 wks to feel like i could move well and not have the pain. Its amazing how everyone is so different. If you can help it, plz dont go back to work this soon. If you over due you will set yourself back

What the heck is skinny sex? Lol

Does everyone lose hair? I am 6.5 wks out and havent noticed any excess hair loss.

Have you tried diffrent brands of protien shakes? I like some and hate others. At costco they have a brand called preimere and they are shakes they come in vanilla and choclate and they have 30 gr protien. Also i buy these bags of protein powder there by crosport, i have bought them for yrs for my vegetarian daughter. I make her a smoothie with fruits and milk or water and one scoop provides 27 grams of protein. What i do is alternate what i do as far as the shakes go to help keep me from getting tired of them.

What an awesome idea. Something i have been doing is saving gallon jugs and for each 8lbs i loose i fill them up with water and set them in a laundry basket. Then when i feel discouraged i go pick up the laundry basket. So far im 6 wks out and only have 3 milk jugs full, but it is amazing to actually fill that weight that i had been carrying around. I cant wait till it has 12 jugs in it, i wont be able to pick it up.... Thats all the excess we were carrying with us!

I am 6 wks post op and have the same problem. I will feel like i need to have a big burp and rarely does it happen, but boy when it does it sure is exciting because you feel so relieved. Prior to surgery i didnt have any problems burping.

First off the best thing here is you know and you admit what you are doing wrong, you couldnt fix the problem if you didnt. I defiantly recommend that you treat this like your preop diet to get you out of this mode of cravings. Based on what you said i kind of got the impression that the stall you were in caused a bit of depression and you were thinking what the heck, im not losing anyway. Just remember stalls are normal. They depress me and i feel discouraged, but know i cant go back to food to make me happy!
