Whoa Gen that is insane!!!! And crazy scary. That's awful the way your hospital handled everything saying you're fine when clearly you weren't. I'm soooo glad this other hospital found the root of the problems. I hope that this all can be cleared up quickly without surgery for you!!!

I looked on their website and they use a hydrolyzed whey protein. Check with your nut. In reading on the hydrolyzed protein most docs and nuts seem to be against them but I've read some posts where their doc and nut gives them the OK.

Is anyone else struggling with making poor food choices early on? I'm kicking myself. I'm only 4 weeks out. Ugh. Just frustrated. I mean, it's nothing like I used to eat but I'm reading all these other posts and know that I need to be making MUCH better choices. I want to. I usually check out things on MFP prior to eating. But I didn't today. I finished lunch and thanks to that honey mustard my calorie intake was 660. Whoa!! Without the honey mustard it would have been 380. But seriously 660 in one sitting - that's the most ever post surgery. Lots of people at 4 weeks out have a hard time getting 600 a day let alone in one meal. Why am I able to intake so much at one time? Has anyone else messed up??

Liquid tylenol cold works great.

85 pounds in 4 months?? Amazing job!!! But plateaus are frustrating for anyone especially an extended one. I'm only about a month out so I have zero experience!! But how is your protein intake, still up high?

Hello Amanda and welcome! That's exciting you had your informational meeting. Do you have a time frame for when you may have the surgery? Do you have a 3 month, 6 month wait? Everyone is super helpful here so feel free to ask anything!

I made the same mistake last night!! I know what you mean about the momentary lapses. I chewed just normally and I paid for it. First time I threw up but glad I did. I hope yours gets unstuck soon. That feeling is pretty wicked!

I used the nyquil equivalent for 3 days. I used the night time one during the day too as it was all I had at the time.

I used a store brand equivalent to liquid nyquil and it was fine for me as the main ingredient was acetaminophen. I don't know if it's on the "approved" list. When it ran out I did get the tylenol cold though.

That is amazing! Congratulations!!
