Or depends..... Actually I think Depends is a hell of a lot smaller..... So not sexy :-/

Colace It combats the Iron causing constipation

Praying that you will find relief and be able to eat soon!

Burping from extra air or gas seems to some of the patients posting. Did u ask dr about what anti gas and nausea med you can take? Over the counter? I have drops and under tongue meds ready to go..... It only lasts until your body adjusts.... Has anything changed in your eating practices in the last two days from prior? Good luck and God bless

It's a good technique and helps you explore why you turned to certain foods, the benefits or non-benefits of them and ur plan to deal w life and ur way of eating (to live not live to eat). As a therapist I know it works w food, neg past events and relationships. Then some mail off ones re others and safely tear and burn other ones...... Cleansing and allowing for a new healthy you! Give it a try :-)

My thought exactly

Ur new stomach makes cheating difficult and a big deterrent due to discomfort. But don't allow yourself to self medicate w food. Being on a liquid Protein shake and Water diet with only sf Jello and Popsicles or broth to enjoy retrains how we interact w food. Call your nutritionist and ask for advice w cravings. If its really hard maybe look into counseling to uncover and deal with why certain choices are made based on ur feelings, environment etc. We are becoming new people and this surgery date is ur new birthday, so be encouraged and call or text those that support you and get online and talk to us. This online interaction distracts me from my past late night cheats that hurt me.

Thanks! Positive thinking positive thinking positive thinking. Got it. :-)

Cool libra_lisa! I am looking to joining y'all in the post-op category........ Afraid it won't get here or something else will happen to stop the date again..:-/

Are u taking in all the Protein you need, and all the Water u need, and calories u need? If so, sometimes switching to mostly liquid for a few days or a week can help, my dr said

I know one thing I use to enjoy is doing insanity with m husband at the same time and competing in BMI loss and how far we could push ourselves in our exercise routine. :-)
