I went totally grey. I color now.

Anyone ever play with pumpkin in a vanilla protein drink?

When you spit up/ vomit up foam after you eat something that disagrees with you.

Drink an oz every 10 min. Set a clock or a timer.

It's all over the place for most people. At 5 weeks 400-600 calories is not abnormal. The doctors like you to get at least 65 gms of Protein if you are a woman and it seems like 600-800 calories is where this is doable. At my stage, post surgery, 18 months- my target is 1200. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Still low carb. High meat, veggies, and fruits. I do a fair amount of Soup as I struggle to get my liquids in.

What's your degree in?

Hey Jimmy! Welcome! I'm a girl however, lurking in the men's room it would appear. .. But seriously. Healthy choices include limited carbs, high protein, non-fried foods. We have many threads here that cover all stages of post surgery. You will like it here.

Fruits don't make me dump. Only items with processed sugars. So it probably depends on the person.

You need to try counseling as a couple. See if he's willing.

What a blessing! Take a deep breath and call your doc. You can do this. (Hug)

I should say I have lost around 131 lb s. I am hovering between 157-160. I want to lose another 10. HOW???

I am down around 131 lbs. Sometimes it's 129. I really would like to lose another 10. Those of you below 160- are you having the same struggles as I?

Maybe it's time to go to another dr in another facility and get a second opinion? You should be feeling better by now. (Hugs) my thoughts are with you.

You can do this!

Strictures aren't so bad actually. I had to be dilated twice

You don't see male parts at those clubs. Unless there are clubs that offer services I never saw. Lol! They go down to speedos.
