I have an unpredictable longer cycle and its much heavier

Smart water has electrolyte and potassium my dr said I can add half banana to my protein that was when I was leaving the hospitals maybe you could ask yours

It's amazing to see everyone's progress I'm so proud of us all

Night before surgery 9/9 about 12/17

Ill be ten weeks tomorrow its crazy how fast time goes. I really hope that i can continue to lose weight for at least a couple more months at the same rate as now. I went from 297 to 255. Im thrilled. I did think I would loose more faster but I can't say that Im not happy.

Halloween candy is evil! I don't crave any sweets but just the site is tempting I'm sure if I tryed it I wouldn't even like it so I'm bit going there not even with sugar free has ur taste buds changed a lot with lap band

I'm going on to a three week stall. This is no fun. I realized that as soon as I got my period is when I stopped going down. I've been walking for 30-45 mins a day. Getting in for the past three days over 60 grams of protein and about 64 oz of water. I only eat chicken beef or egg. I follow everything my Dr said. Do you think the scale will start moving soon?

I'm working on my liquids thanks for the advice.

I am down 30 lbs and haven't moved down in 2 weeks. I'm really frustrated. Ive been having trouble getting in my protein. I can only do 1 protein shake that is only 160 cal., and eat about 6 teaspoons at a time of either egg, chicken, or ground beef. According to fat secret it's about 117 for 1/4 c each . I really don't eat 1/4 a cup either it's more like 1/8. So that like 58 cal from food 7.5 grams of protein so I guess what I mean to say is I'm only usually getting 218 cal and 37 of protein. This is on a bad day someways I can push to get in that next shake. I drink about 40 oz of water a day. I always feel full so it makes it hard to get anything in. My Dr is like if you don't get your protein your going to loose your hair. His only suggestion is to try banana with my protein or sf Hershey syrup. And he's not happy with my reduction I need have been down more but never shot out a number. I honestly haven't asked him a lot of questions that I would have because I was so upset when he put it out there about being upset that I'm not where he wants me to be. Anyone else having these problems? Any suggestions? Thanks for hearing out my rant.

I'm feeling better I switched the Protein I was using. Now I'm doing premier nutrition chocolate. It's 30 grams protein per 11 oz 1 gram sugar. Drinking is not causing pain now but I feel full all the time. Sometimes I feel like I have to wait a longer time between sips so I don't become uncomfortable. Are you doing any better? I still can't get enough fluids but I'm not feeling too dehydrated. I'm able to eat now and the whole not drinking a 1/2 hour before and after isn't helping with the Fluid intake.

I have to agree its so far from being the easy way out. I'm praying for you. Your journey has been rough so far but you will be better soon I'm sure. I get really tired too. I can't imagine how you must feel. Hugs take it easy and don't worry yourself. I'm not sure if your religious and if your not I'm not trying to offend you but have faith the Lord he can heal us and make us healthy again.

Mushy sounds like heaven! I feel pretty good physically. I've been really blessed. Mentally I'm obsessing over how much to drink when to take Vitamins what Protein I can get down ect. I want desperately to have some food because some times I have to force myself to drink protein. I've been doing Premier Protein it has 1 gram sugar and 30 protein. It's easy to drink 2 of them. They are only 11 oz too. I have been trying to walk everyday but I don't think it's been more than 15 mins plus the usual getting around to pick up and what not. I'm making the hubby set up the treadmill I've been afraid to myself but he has off this weekend I'm going to aim for 30 mins at first well see how I do. Thanks for asking how I'm doing.

I'd just run it past the dr. I call their office everytime I have a question and they don't seem to mind better safe than sorry. Hope u feel better soon. The thin strips resolve on ur tongue like listerine strips so nothing goes into ur stomach just absorbed in your mouth. So it may not cause u pain to do them?

I asked and they said I have to wait till my appointment with my surgeon. I'm not sure why I think it's because there was no apt sooner than the 5 and he wants to clear me first. He skips puréed phase so ill be able to get into the soft adapted but for real it's hard. I'm ready to eat my arm lol 2 more weeks and then I can eat something real I can't wait!

Wow! Praying for you. Honestly I don't know if I will be able to donate blood in the future but this reminds me how important it is to donate. Does anyone know if RNY ppl can't donate if we don't have correct amounts of iron ect?

I don't know how I missed ur post earlier! Get better soon sending prayers for sure.

I didn't get one either I wonder if I should? I'd try a med supply store maybe some pharmacies?

I'm 2 weeks out Monday but because of scheduling I will be doing protein and water till October 5. This sux! Plus I can't drink most protein it makes me sick I've been sticking to premier protein pure protein and wheybolic all in chocolate. I was on a one week liquid diet pre op too so ill be about 32 days in all with no real food.

I get those pains from time to time even if I dont drink it's worse if I breathe deep I think it's gas pain

I had surgery the day b4 u and some times I get a sharp pain in my stomach after drinking I've been having trouble drink protien all of it was fine b4 surgery now I'd rather not even attempt to drink it unfortunately I need to force myself to so I don't have advice but I feel your pain with not getting in what you need to

My lmp was 8/30 and I has surgery 9/10 I've been spotting for the past 4-5 days I should get my period about the 28 I'm all messed up I've noticed the past few days I've been emotional hope to get regular soon
