I just started drinking tea, which has helped me. I went to Teavana and bought their chai tea. I add Splenda to it. It's so yummy. I look forward to it every afternoon.

Stretching your pouch
melb1976 replied to music1618's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I want to learn more about this. I'm now almost at the maintenance stage and want to make sure I keep it off. Have you found any websites or articles about this topic? -
Can anyone recommend a good iron supplement that doesn't give you that nasty after taste? I tried the Bariatric Advantage...nasty. Tasted like battery acid. Tried Nature's Bounty (the ones you swallow)...nasty. They made my stomach hurt and gave me terrible gas. Any suggestions?

I tried the Passion Fruit. They taste good at first but then there's an after taste for about 2 hrs.

I liked the Fage Greek yogurt from walmart with some protein powder in it.

Don't bother ordering the 16. Order the 10. Then you can have it altered to be smaller. :-) -
Bridesmaid Dress- ordering size question

I was in this same situation and my starting weight was about the same as yours. You're going to lose close to 100 lbs in 8 months. I'm 6 months out and have lost 80. It's hard to imagine, but it's going to happen for you. -
Worst comment you've heard so far
melb1976 replied to michelecaples's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's sad that people say all this stupid stuff. I didn't realize how overweight people get treated differently. I have lost 80 lbs and it pisses me off how strangers are so much friendlier to me. They make eye contact too. Kind of off-topic but I was looking for a place to vent. -
Experiencing extreme cold?
melb1976 replied to purpleamy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started taking my iron pills regularly and am not so cold anymore. -

Anyone tried sushi yet?
melb1976 replied to Amandabythepound's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sashimi was great when I was a month and a half out. It's still great. Goes down no problem and has so much protein. -

Here's one for you..."I'd have that surgery but I want the satisfaction of knowing I lost the weight on my own." Obviously this person is still overweight. -
Greek yogurt with vanilla protein powder. Yum.

I Am 8 Days Out And Struggling
melb1976 replied to kauaigirl808's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
sugar-free Popsicles were a lifesaver for me. -
This happened to me about 5 weeks out. I was stuck for two weeks. It made me an emotional wreck. I finally called the nurse and my dr office. Then, almost immediately, I started losing again. I promise it will happen.

Ice cream is the only thing I've tried that makes me dump. Don't do it!! Dont do the Ben and jerry's or yoplait frozen yogurt. Too much sugar. Go for the sugar free skinny cows or the yasso Greek yogurt bars.

I'm almost5 months out, I've list 70lbs, and have been doing great. I eat properly and get in all my protein...Until today. Today, I fell off the wagon and ate about 1/2 Cup of mint chip ice cream. I was so sick. I don't know why I ate it. I knew I shouldn't have eaten it.

Not tonic!! To not. Crazy auto correct

I know this is my issue but I need my husband tonic buy the ice cream. And i need to resist!!

I've been so bad about the vitamins. I even bought all the good ones from Bariatric Advantage. I just cant stand the aftertaste. Anyone else have this problem?

Help. So much of my hair is falling out. I have really thick hair so it doesn't look any thinner. What do I do?

My new favorite food! It's such an awesome replacement for rice and Pasta. Goes down easy and it's satisfying. It takes on any flavor too. So yummy I had to share. Oh, made quinoa burgers too. Google the recipe. Even the kids loved them.

Terrible About Vitamins
melb1976 replied to melb1976's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do u think I can take the gummy vitamins? My nutritionist says no. I think she's afraid I'd swallow them whole. I guess I could chew them up really well. -
I was told not to swallow pills bigger than a tic tac. Does anyone know if that's forever?

I still haven't lost since I started this post last week!! I keep getting scared that the scale will never move again.
