    What ya eating tonight?

    Scrambled egg (cooked in 1/8 tsp whipped honey butter) my daughter didn't tell me she did it until after I ate them! Thank goodness I didn't get sick but they did taste amazing! She's only 12...

    What are your portion sizes?

    My doc is pretty tight as well I am 2 weeks out and this week I am to slowly try yogurt and pureed cottage cheese. Other than that liquid. Then I go into the 2-4 week full puree. He created the full intra abdominal version of laparoscopic bypass used most commonly so I'm trying to listen but geez its hard I'm already sick of drinking the shakes! His diet is strict but he has never lost a patient with over 7000, I just want my chicken shrimp salad! Not all at once of course!
  3. Cymbalta! I love it and it really helps! I have been on it for about 2 years and it is safe with rny I'm 1 week out and I wouldn't live without it.
  4. I have found that the original amount of weight the person started with is a huge factor. For instance my friend and I had our on the same time scale we started our liquid diet on the same day but 6 days later I lost 14 lbs she lost 3. We had our surgeries the same day 12 days later I was down another 8 lbs she was down 6. We used the same shakes have the same lifestyle s for the most part. The difference I started my journey 3 months ago at 386 she started hers 273. We are the same height same ethnic background and age. My weight is obviously coming off oy a week after surgery my family is noticing and I'm not weighing. She has weighed and has hospital weight still. Everyone's body metabolically is different your rate of caloric intake may be way off from even your closet relative. I got obese because of quality not quantity my sister was the opposite and took hers off with no problem.
  5. The nurse told me it was to reduce the glucose in the liver that it makes it pliable not shrink that that process would actually take many months. I don't have to loose any weight but obviously it will happen
  6. My doctor is Roger de LA Torre he created the preferred version of lapro. Rny that surgeons use now he prefers the 2 weeks liquid prep I'm on day 2 not liking it! But he's done 7000 plus surgeries so I guess I have to listen
