Thanks DL I'll stick to what they tell me which is add protine powder to everything! Lol I'm doin carafate in the am, then my acid meds, then having cream of wheat in the am with skin milk and protine powder, then a protine shake, then soup with added protine powder, then another shake, and then something soft like soup for dinner with protine powder added. I'll be doing this for 6 weeks :/ as long as I get better it's whatever!

I wonder the same! Alls I know is I know have to go back to liquids and pureee foods for awhile. Nothing spicey or crunchy.. Dang it'

Thank you everyone! Yes my doctor is going to put me on carafate and some other meds for about 3 months but I still am feeling out of it and sluggish my surgery was July 23rd

Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers. I feel so loved know you all care! They have no idea how I got an ulcer and considering my hemoglobin is still dropping a little they have me on medications to decrease my stomach acid and gases and some to coat my stomach. Im pretty dizzy so I'll for sure be here tonight again and possibly tomorrow. They did the edg? (the one with the camera scope down your throat) and they said its not bleeding anymore but there is a clot that I'll probably pass so of I have a few more stools not to worry to much. And they said I can't eat atkins protine bars anymore (boo) and I have to up my protine to help heal this as well. They also said I'm not eating enough and I'm losing a little too fast which I don't understand because I feel like I'm keeping up with everyone else! Ugh. Here's hoping I'll be out tomorrow

Im down 55 pounds since July 23rd. So to treat myself I bought a dress for tonight... And I actually feel great on it! So excited to see where this journey takes me!

Highest weight:330 DOS: 287 Last week: 234 This week: 232 I only lost 2 pounds this week... But I'll take it! Hoping to be in the 220's next week!

Very welcome!

My stomach used to touch my stealing wheel.. Yesterday I just paused for a second while I was sitting in my car cuz I realized how much space there now is between my tummy and the wheel! Was so excited I just had to share!!

It is! It keeps me sane when the scale isn't moving lol

Great job! You look awesome!

Oh and I was going to share: for anyone who has a craving for those horribly delicious french fries (lol) target sells a brand called peas of mind.. They make cauliflower or broccoli baked wedges. Only 70 cal a serving 0 fat and they are dairy, egg, and gluten free! I've had the cauliflower ones and they are pretty good! And it gets your veggie serving in!

I'm going to look for the dream fields! I have used whole wheat pasta and spaghetti squash. I love the squash but to me it still tastes just like squash so it's a little weird with pasta sauce but it works!

Yay!!! Congrats Chica! It's such an amazing feeling. Keep up the great work!

Highest weight: 330 DOS: July 23rd- 287 Last week: 240 This week: 234! I had a super weightloss this week and am very excited with how things are going!

Aw thank you very much!!

I'm a preschool teacher so every year I get my picture taken. I just got mine back today and love the difference I can see in me neck and face! I was so excited and a lot of my co workers complimented me it felt so nice! I still have a long way to go but I'm feeling pretty good today

Thank you ladies! You are all amazing and you all inspire me!!

Thank you!!

I just bought a peanut butter and chocolate one for tomorrow morning! Target had Atkins shakes and bars on sale and if you bought 3 you got a 5 dollar gift car so I'm excited to try the new flavors I got!

I haven't but I'm at target and just found these! 13 grams of protine in a serving. And they are so crunchy!

Then I'll be making a pit stop after work! Thanks for the info!!

It is I couldn't be happier to have made this decision! I'm really loving all the new things I can do and my kiddos telling me I'm getting so skinny lol!
