Oh My! Did I ever! My husband and I are empty nesters and eat out every night. I ate anything and everything I wanted including lots of desserts. I'm really big into deserts and breads...all the good stuff. Any away I had 3 months to do this and I gained an additional 15 lbs.

Well, Vamp gave me some hints so what I did was go to Walmart ( I hate Walmart ) I bought the cheap version of the Majic Bullet. I put the powder in there and the water then pulse it a few times. Id does turn out way frothy, but if I put in in a shaker ball bottle over night and then get it out in the morning and shake it a time or two, it seems to help.

Hello and welcome! My surgery was a bit different from everyone else's, but I do know it's nothing you can't handle and you'll be up and walking the same day.

Hi all, I'm having issues. I 'm supposed to be getting more protein than I think I am. I'm 9 days post op. even with 2 shakes that will give me 34 gms. Of protein I don't understand how I will ever get in the amount I need to meet the requirement needed. A serving of tuna has 10 gms of protein, but the serving size on the can says 1 can. There is no loving way I can get this much in. 60-70 grams is a lot and I'm worried that I'm not going to get in what I need. Anyone have any ideas?

I know it's the pits Poker, I did it just a few weeks ago. Just think of it as one day closer.

I'm praying for you too let us know

Jen in So Cal, Do you make your morning shake and what do you use?

I take the Bariatric Fusion chewables. Four a day. They're not too awful for chewables

When was your surgery Vamp? I sometimes think I could eat more, like your oatmeal, but I'm only 8 days out, and I'm really having a hard time finding a shake I dont have to gag down

I think it's just my pre surgery mentality that 4 tablespoons of food per meal isn't enough, when I'm sure it is.

Diddle, you don't look like the same person! You are beautiful! You girl, are a rock star!

Try getting a 5 lb bag of flour and putting it on your scale to see what it says.

For whatever this may be worth, my Dr.'s have said that all fluids count towards the 64 ounces. I figure the sharks, Popsicles, jello, broth, whatever. If its liquid, add em up ! Anybody else want to weigh in on this?

You look fabulous! I can't wait for those kinds of changes!

Good for you! Barbie doll! So glad you're on the other side of it now! I for one am proud of you girl!

Hi all! First off I want you all to know how much I care for all of you and the great support and friends you are! That said, I need to get a little info, and advice if you will. My surgery was MAY 1. I am 8 days post op and they have just started letting me eat something besides Popsicles and Jello. I had some oatmeal and yogurt this morning. My portion sizes are 2 tablespoons of each, and I don't drink with meals or 30 minutes after. Thing is. I can't tell if I'm hungry or not after this. I know I still fantasize about a tenderloin sandwich with fries. What size portions do you all eat and how can I tell...hungry or not?

Just a question all that may seem odd, but it does affect my walking. Both of my heels are so dry and cracked they sometimes crack open and bleed, making it very uncomfortable to walk. Do any of you have this, and if so, what do you do to make it manageable?

I have to start something immediatley! My hair is very thin on top as it is....eek

Hi All! I'm just curious what Vitamins everyone is taking. I have Bariatric fusion that I'm supposed to take 4 of a day. What is evveryone else taking?

I'm bad about wanting to weigh all the time too, but I know I need to cut it out. I know it's disappointing to how a gain, but I wouln't think too much about it at this stage of the gane,

Sounds like a plan! I wonder if some sugar free syrup could be used with it?

YAY!! That's teriffic! Kind of starts the next phase off with BANG!!!

I was told to take 1000mcg of Biotin 3 times a day and Folic Acid. My hair is already very thin, so any thing that gets posted I would love to hear about.
