Tbaby- You might want to talk with your doctor. Often it's a chemical imbalance.

Congrats! ! It's a good feeling.

You need to follow your doctor's plan. Cookies are a no no. Sugar is a no no. You have a choice. You had this surgery. The tool wont work if you don't choose to follow the rules.

I am approaching 20 months post surgery. I am at 149.6 lbs. I eat chocolate. After I eat my protein, my veggies, and my fruit. I usually stay within my calories. I step on the scale every day. I do not do carbs as a rule. But I do eat a small piece or two of dark chocolate. Deprive yourself and you won't stay on track. The key is moderation.

Fruit only for breakfast won't work. Protein protein protein. Cheesestick and yogurt is an option. Nuts also.

Hmmmm.... mouse bed- should we ask?

Your dealing with pain that might not be normal. And the fear can be handled with a counselor. I started with a counselor after the months post op. It did me a world of Good.

No solid food means no solid stools. They will firm up as you add food back into your diet.

Some are ok.I like the bbq sauce and some of the salad dressings. Depends on your taste buds.

Where's your surgery? I had mine at Henry Ford in Detroit-

It's taken forever- My surgery was April 26 2012. I am at 139.4 Lbs lost. My goal is 145 lbs- ironically it's about half the woman that I was- given that I started at 289.

I'm still working on my last 10- it's crazy! ! 6 to go.

Have you considered counseling?

I've been really blessed. The only thing I struggle with is bread.

I Must admit I have to laugh about the names. (Based on how many posts one has done. ..) I have seen pre-ops ends up with many hundreds of posts prior to their surgery. This may give some the opinion they have been doing this a long time. It's always fair to ask one when their surgery was. Newbies or veterans- we all have questions some times. And newbies often have the same questions. And veterans sometimes forget the early things like what could meds to take. It's all good. We are all here for the improvement of our health. Despite the type of surgery or how long its been. It's one day,one step, one moment at a time.

Call your doc just for grins and giggles. None of us are medical professionals- that's why we pay them the big bucks.
