This saved my life after a bad cold. I was 4 weeks when I got hit with a crazy bad cold.

I agree! :-)

A nutritionist from my job got me Yes whey, a Protein shot made from whey isolate protein only and it's 25g of protein per tube and it's only 2.9 oz.
I'm going to give it a try and I'll update you guys with the taste opinion.
This is pretty new and it's available from a pretty reliable source. Bariatricadvantage.com.
Cheers!

Woo hoo! Congrats! You're now one step closer to a healthier new you!

I think about it and I'm a guy lol. Of course being a guy it usually leads to sex and positions and endurance but I still wanna look good! I wouldn't mind a woman being nice to me because she thinks im hot vs just having to be nice. Not too much attention but a little would be nice.
I tell ya what I fantasize about, being able to drive a versa or focus and not take up the entire front

Hey everyone
Just wanted to show off RNY's first couple.
Note: we didnt wear orange on purpose together!

My gas pain was something else. I literally broke down crying on day 5, which also happened to be the last day I had gas pains. My mom gave me a spoonful of milk of mag. That stopped the pain immediately and then a few hrs after that I had my first BM post op. What a relief.

I'm finally going home. After being unable to drink liquids without doubling over in gas pains, I am finally able to tolerate liquids and pass gas (yippee!)
Now to start a new chapter in this journey of mine....
Thanks to everyone for being so supportive. I greatly appreciate it!

Wow. This is something alright. Lol
Not "painful" but it's not pleasant. Pretty uncomfortable. The cotton mouth is far the worst ever.
Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers!

Thanks! The gas is intense. Haven't been able to have ice chips yet. Just had that test done to see if I have any leakage. Hopefully I can have ice chips soon.
Any tips on the gas besides burping and walking?
Again, thanks to all of you. I have such an amazing support system just on here.

I will def be trying that. As I can't lay on my left side since I have a rose pen drain (painful).
It really sucks to not be able to pass gas. I just hope that by next week I'm able to get in and out of bed without feeling like my stomach is going to burst. Ugh!
I walk a lot and it helps. But as soon as I lay back down I'm dying again.
I know this will all be worth it in the end. But this is SO hard for me.

EAT....... Everything comes down to portion. You are able to eat a lil pasta. A sliver of pizza. You just have to know when to walk away. By you depriving yoirself of normal foods you will regret your decision more and more. Yes the sweets are a no no. Smart choices little tates of approved foods will not make or break you day. Remember you can onlyeat a lil bit now make it worth you while. Eat sesnsible done engorge yourself.

Lemme tell u. I have the exact same problem. My so called best friend says all the negative things to me too. And one day I finally got tired of her crap and told her that its ok if she don't support me but she doesn't have to throw that neg wave my way. I made her kno that I'm ok w not being her friend bc true friends will not make u feel that way. In all honesty it's jealousy. Ppl see u making a change and their to darn sry to take that leap. My friend is bigger then me and always complains bout her bein fat n wanting to lose weight. But she's not doin ne thing bout it. she uses excuses after excuses. And frankly you just need to let ur friend kno that u dnt care what she thinks bc this is ur life. This is u adding years to ur life not her. if she can't respect u enough to let it go then let her kno ur willing to let her go!
We r fighting for our lives to b healthy and No one is to stand in our way!! Tell ppl how u feel n feel good bout it bc it's ur life not theirs.

You shouldn't be sad or ashamed. It happens. Just focus on the fact that you're taking the first step into a healthier lifestyle. Beating yourself up isn't going to change anything. But starting this journey with a goo attitude will.....
Best of luck!!
