I couldn't get past the taste or smell of any Protein powders. I finally decided to stick with chocolate Premier Protein and Isopure clear in he apple melon flavor.

Dub...Stop, I can't take anymore pics. I want some of those wings right now, dammit!

I like it with raw sugar snap peas.

Thank you all for you kind words. Maybe I do need to look for a therapist.

I was sleeved 12/2013. I have lost only 40 lbs. Most food is not appetizing to me. My calories come from drinking wine. I can't even think of something I would want to eat today. I used to enjoy cooking, but no longer do so. I am retired, but spend my days and nights caring for my husband who is a cancer patient. He cannot eat by mouth so it doesn't matter If I cook a meal or not. I think about all of the healthy foods I love and then don't want to cook them. If I do cook something then I no longer want to eat. For Mother's Day I bought $300 worth off jumbo Alaskan King Crab legs and some beef tenderloin for our MD dinner. My nephew did all the cooking and I still was only able to eat 2 bits of crab and 1 of meat. I am getting worried about my food apathy.

I am not a soda drinker, never have been. I do, however, enjoy an occasional ginger ale or tangerine flavored sparkling Water. I have had both since surgery, but only a few sips and then I put it away.

Completely normal. I gained 8 pounds in the hospital from IV fluids. It took me a week to lose it.

Ah, well I have never noticed a problem taking Lexapro with anything I consume. I would not worry about it.

I take Lexapro and never heard of that restriction. I take Centrum chewables. The only Protein shakes I use are Premier Protein RTD. I can't imagine why they would contain tryptophan.

231 today...missed my goal.

I agree with the above. There has got to be more than what you are saying?

230.8 GAH...I suck this challenge!!!

?Are you finding hidden porn or something? Sounds so mysterious!

I only had a $350 co-pay.

I keep telling myself I am going to make some of those mini quiches in a muffin tin, but I am too damn lazy to do it. I am making some now! Bell peppers, green onion, spinach, sharp cheddar, and Canadian bacon. Yum.

Okay, it is not happening now. Weird. I haven't done anything but browse forums today. Thanks!

I use Mozilla Firefox 28.0 on a new Lenovo laptop. It only just started happening this afternoon. Everything was fine this morning.

Seems like every time I hit "next" in a multiple page post I get the above message without the blah part, of course. What does it mean? I don't want to do things that are not allowed!

I had pizza last night, 1 small slice. I had half a cheeseburger the night before last. Earlier this week we ordered Chinese. One order of beef with broccoli lasted me three days. I'm a rebel, what can I say?

Did your doctor prescribe a PPI drug? Most do, but if not you should ask for one. I take 20mg. of omeprazole daily.

It's because of the high Protein, low carb diet. Your body is in ketosis and it causes bad breath. It should go away when you start eating more fruits and veggies.

I am sorry you are in pain. Hopefully, you still have pain meds. I know when I was freshly sleeved warm liquids went down best. I always simmered my broth with herbs and added some Better than Bouillon to make it taste better. You can also strain canned chicken noodle Soup or get some egg drop or wonton soup from the local Chinese restaurant. It takes a while to feel better...just take it one day at a time.

If you are tolerating things well try a chicken taco and some Beans. Whatever you like! You can bring home what you can't eat.

As long as you get in you recommended amount of Protein you are fine. It does not matter if it is solid or liquid.

My breakfast this morning was about 3 oz. of Chinese beef with broccoli. It was damn tasty!
