Exactly! Jesus sometimes explaining these feelings is trying to get a blind man to imagine color! Lol.

I found some chocolate milk that is non-fat, 2g sugar, and 9g protein! And it tastes like real chocolate milk! Not like ick! I am super happy, I got it from Kroger, Kroger brand. It comes in 16 oz cartons, and it's 1 dollar. It is awesome for a little treat, that's still within the guidelines of full liquids. I'm not going to have it every day, just when I need that little bit of sweet. Made my day!

Exactly! I haven't had any internal discomfort! Just the incisions. I'm 7 days out. I do get a slight full feeling, but it quickly fades, I don't get hungry, I just get not full. Lol. Its really hard to explain.

First three days are the worst! Keep yourself busy and think about the end result! It'll be worth it!

I'm just bored! Everything is so bland and tasteless.

That's awesome, I'm glad you're doing well, I don't have my follow up appointment next thursday.

Keep your head up, Things will get better!

I can't have beef till week 5. ;( I'm not on pureed till the next thursday. It's hard but I'm worth it.

I was craving tuna yesterday, I don't like tuna! I'm terrified of cheating! But I can't wait till the 9th. My family made burgers this week and I was so tempted to just nibble a little bit of meat. But I didn't.

We had the same surgery date I think. I'm 6 days out also. I have pain at one incision, and It's not so much pain as tightness now. Just keep taking your meds, Walk, even when uncomfortable, and I actually put an ice pack wrapped in a towel on the incision and it helped a little, Then I put a heating pad, and it really helped loosen up the muscles. Start slowly starting to stretch reach your arms over you head, Try to contract your abdominal muscles when you're laying down.

I would stick to RNY, there is more research, and a longer history of long term success.

I hope it helps!

I found it at Half Priced books. But I think it's on amazon.

Check out Weight loss Surgery cookbook for dummies, (I'm not calling you a dummy by the way, lol) There are a bunch of great recipes in there that you could possibly use in your mixer.

I'm good. I've reduced my pain meds to night time only, I'm still having trouble getting my fluids and Protein in, but I have a new plan that I'm trying today! I'm still a little sore in one incision. but I have hope that it will get with the program soon. I haven't had any nausea, which is a godsend. I've been walking twice a day. According to my surgeon I'm having the "dream recovery".

It's up to you, My surgeon recommends using two forms of BC for the first 18 months after surgery because of the increased fertility rate. It's really dangerous to both mom and baby if you get pregnant in the first 18 months because of body changes and limited nutrition coming in.

Oh I thought you said define real hunger. I am sorry. Talk to your nut see if there is something that you can do

What app are you using

Do you feel in your stomach hunger?

Is it head hunger or physical hunger?

I am. Our hormones are completely out of wack. Dont beat yourself up.

My parents were the same way before my surgery. Every morning they would show me another horror story, And I'd show them 10 good stories. Three days before my surgery I put my foot down and told them that this is what I'm doing, they can be supportive or they can keep quiet or leave. It's really frustrating and awful. But ultimatums are sometimes the only way to get results.

Really? My lady doc didnt mention weight with the depo
