My doc said to massage that spot. He explained why but I can't remember what he said. It took a little while and didn't feel particularly good, but the massaging helped.

I am not sure, but I think grits are high in carbs. I know I can't have anything with total carbs over 10 per serving. When did u have your surgery?

Nevermind I just read the title. I had eggs a lot or tuna with mayo. Fish in general is good and soft.

Head hunger is a hard one. You have to find the best way for you. I just remind myself how I got here. I know I don't want to go back to tthe way I was, so I try to find something else to do or eat. It is hard when you are in liquids. But it does get easier. I don't think fruit is ok yet, but check with your Dr. Take a walk or exercise when the head hunger hits. Your nutritionist would be an excellent resource or search this forum. There are tons of ideas here. Good luck!

You can add vanilla extract to them. I add 1 teaspoon to my vanilla shake and it tastes awesome. Just like a real vanilla shake.< /p>

I stand corrected DL:) I had read your post and for some reason was thinking the late dumping was further out. Thanks for the correction. Good luck irshangel! Hope your Dr gives u some answers and hope you are feeling better.

I would also like to point out that from what I read on this forum and others, it is pretty common to have a stall around the 5-7 week po mark. I am guessing that is about the time when our body starts realizing we are not eating enough. I started my stall at about the 6 week mark and stayed there for about 3 weeks. I just broke out of it now and lost 7 pounds this week. Just be patient and let your body work its magic.

DL had a post about dumping. There is "late" dumping. I think it is was 12 hours later but u would have to check his post. Dlcoggin

I had this same question at least I know it's normal. It feels so weird

Very interesting! I like the smaller portion option. Even before surgery I thought all restaurants served portions that were way too big. Now I try to order off of the kids menu. I have asked for smaller portions at some restaurants and have been turned down. As far as posting the nutritional information, I don't see how that will help. A lot of people are not informed enough to know what the information means. And if they don't know what it means, how can they use the information to make an informed decision on their choice of foods? Thank u for sharing!

You look fabulous! Congrats on the loss so far.

Wow. I can see how you would feel that. I am no marriage guru, but it sounds like time for counseling or time to free yourself from your husband. You can't let him talk to you like that! Regardless of what he said, have the surgery. You will be so happy with yourself. I hope you have others that will support you. If not we will be here for you. Hang in there girl.

Just sent u a request

Definitely don't focus on the Protein right now. I was told not to worry about it for the first couple if weeks. Just Water Water water and walking, walking walking. Good luck!

It is going to be hard, but u have to remember what got us in this mess to begin with. Of course we are not going to eat perfect everyday of the year, so it is ok to indulge responsibly every once and a while. But if you must graze, find something healthy to graze on. I cut up cucumber slices and eat one or two if I feel the need to snack. Or get some string cheese. Before u eat something u r not supposed to ask yourself Am I really hungry or is thus just head hunger? Then try a healthy snack. Just remember this is a lifestyle change. I know you can do this!

I second that. You are NOT alone!
