  1. All this talk of salad made me want one !! So today I got the small strawberry/blueberry salad from Wendy's with chicken and it was awesome!!! No problems with it at all!!! I am 8 weeks out tomorrow. And down 50 lbs!!!
  2. Well we have even more in common !! I live in Mount Clemens, Michigan ! ! My daughter told me they call Fort Polk the armpit of the army !! She was in culture shock down there too !
  3. I am with you kiwi. I try hard not to regret it but I am tired of the nausea, I am 2 months out. And I am sick of being sick!! But on the plus side, I have lost 49 pounds. Good and bad
  4. You are the rarity, but we do see it sometimes, besides stones, some people have gallbladders that just don't do their job.
  5. I don't vomit much but the nausea is constant. I don't have a gallbladder anymore ( removed 25 years ago) but I can tell you this, of it's GB - you will have pain. The gallbladder is a little holding tank for bile... Bile is made in the liver and when we eat something with fat in it, the gall bladder squeezes the bile into the stomach to break down the fats. If there are stones in the gallbladder when it contracts, it squeezes the walls against the stones and causes pain. Okay, there is the anatomy lesson for the day, yes I work in medicine and I will get down off my soapbox now. ; ). Just trying to help and I talk a lot!! Have an awesome day!!
  6. I buy them online and at the Vitamin Shoppe. I have done so much online research for protein, gotta trust me on this one... They rock! ; ). Would I steer you wrong ??? Nah !!!
  7. Quest are absolutely the best. No doubt about it. They have 20 g protein, very little sugar, fiber and no fat. The best part, they taste good !! Trust me, I have read every label on sooooo many bars these fit the bill perfectly !! Enjoy !!
  8. There are a couple of posts about the quest bars. They are the absolute best !! High Protein, high Fiber, low sugar, no fat and they taste great ! My personal favorites are the cinnamon roll, the coconut cashew and the lemon cream pie !!! Yummmmmm. And I am very picky !!!
  9. At what point can we have salad
  10. Yes and they will continue to stink and so will your poo!! More than ever!!
  11. Quest bars are awesome, low fat, low sugar and high protein and high Fiber !!
  12. I have 9 and a large incision on left for big hernia repair. Plus 2 drains.
  13. I am 7 weeks today. Going back to work next week and really nervous because of the way I feel. (was out a while longer because I also had a huge hernia repaired)
  14. Uh oh !! I am in trouble or maybe my husband is a lucky man .... I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A CHEAP DATE!!!
  15. You go girl !!!! Congrats !!!
  16. I'm going on record saying that I have my regrets days. I am tired of the nausea and dizziness and fatigue .. I wanted to say it do I too can come back later and say it was worth it. I want that sooooo bad!!!
  17. Have you tried all the flavors ??? Which do you recommend ?? I have tried the cinnamon roll - its awesome and the coconut cashew loved em both !
  18. Hi everyone, just wanted to post a little something on protein bars I found. I have tried a couple of flavors and I like them. Here's the good thing about them. Low sugar, high protein, low fat, they are chewy but the chew into nothing, easy to get down and best of all, they are high fiber !! The only one I haven't liked do far is the chocolate brownie, kinda fake tasting. Anyway, you can get them online or at the Vitamin Shoppe, probably GNC too. They are called Quest Bars.
  19. Hi Carrie, I have been having the same issue. My weight loss stalled and I wasn't getting in hardly any Water or Protein. I went to the doctor yesterday for my 6 week checkup and told them that everything I put in my mouth makes me nauseous so I can't eat and drink. They asked why I had not called and told them about the nausea. I WAS TRYING NOT TO WHINE! Anyway, the doctor explained this.... I am dehydrated and because of that, I am nauseated, so I don't eat protein and I do t drink which causes dehydration. Which makes me Nauseous so I don't eat or drink..... Get it ? It's a vicious cycle and hard to break ! But it's not! They gave me Zofran dissolving tablets for the nausea, so yesterday I took one and ate and drank and drank. And today I am drinking like crazy after taking the Zofran znd guess what?? I feel so much better !!! And I was down 2 pounds this morning !!! I wish I had asked for the nausea medication sooner !!!! Please everyone, don't be afraid to ask the doctor for nausea medication, it really, really, really helps !!!!
