I hope you feel better soon.

I have one but I don't know how to use it so when I get to the point where I can tolerate meat I will have to look up a tutorial on youtube on how to use it.

Your post sounds like I could have wrote it myself. I am SOOOOOO sick of covering up and dreading summer. I can't wait to get back in to my 'skinny' clothes. Where do you live? I am up in Buffalo, NY.

The video was so much better but I took some pics of my new dressing room.

Thanks!!!!!! )

Some ppl can and some can't so I made an album of pics in my 'gallery'. Album name is 'Dressing Room'.

I am going to make a photo album in my gallery. I will post one pic here and the rest will be in my gallery under an album called 'Dressing Room'. I would love feedback. I am so so proud and inspired. I have to get back in my 'skinny' clothes and this room is my inspiration!!!

I want everyone to see it too!!!! Says its too large. I am going to take pics and upload pics. Stay tuned.

I tried another way. Please let me know if it is viewable.

I tried uploading a video in a forum topic and no one can view it. Is posting a video on here an option? If so, how to do it? Thanks in advance.

How do you post a video on here?

Thanks girl for liking... apparently no one else likes my closet! BOO!

Please share recipes as you find them. I love discovering cleaner more veggified foods! I'm going to experiment with making some nut cheeses. Okay so I know two awesome health and wellness guru's personally in my city. One was a friend and I say WAY because I asked her to help me post op with how to eat and she was very against me having this surgery to the point she was insulting. I haven't spoke to her since BUT I still go to her website and there is soooooooooo much great information on there including recipes. I think she may have a hemp cheese sauce recipe b/c she is always talking about things she makes on FB with cheesy sauce out of hemp. Her website is TatianaAmico.com. Let me know what you thing. I also LOVE her 'my favorite things' tab. I want a food dehydrator to make kale chips, sweet potato chips, and dried fruit chews (later on of course too soon for that). There is another woman named Robbie Raugh (pronounced 'RAW') She is a fitness instructor and health guru. She is always on "Good Morning America" here in the a.m. (T.V show). She is in her 50s and you wouldn't believe this woman's body. Both of these women went to the same college of nutrition (I forget name...Its in California). I have learned a lot from the both of them. Definitely check them out.

really??? My NUT said if you are going to eat carbs of any sort to make sure you pair it with Protein...always. I am trying to steer clear of carbs as much as possible but it is Sunday and my mom made sauce so I am not going to confirm or deny taking a nibble.

are you putting powder in the blender? I blend it really good.. like at least a minute. I can't stand any grittiness. I am sorry I thought you were only a few weeks out. What do you typically eat on a daily basis? Maybe start food journaling and see your nutritionist. Has to be a reason for it and I am sure you will figure it out. What up with your 'head meds'? Most of those cannot be stopped abruptly. I hope your prescriber is aware, I would hope for you to have any bad withdrawal symptoms. I work in psych so if you want to inbox me feel free. I am sorry ppl have been negative... sometimes people lack tact... I sometimes have that problem too. You have to learn to ignore and when you do learn please share your secret with me

Swelling and edema and fluids from operation. You probably won't see scale move for at least a week... I didn't. I was sleeved Feb 4 and so was another girl I knew. Neither one of us lost weight first week and a half. It will come off don't you worry. How are you tolerating your diet? You on full liquids now?

Maybe go back to drinking couple shakes a day, one pureed meal and a snack. Watch carb and fat intake. I advanced my diet too fast b/c I was doing well then members on here scared me and said it was way too soon so I have scaled back on soft diet and drinking just Protein Shakes... I had some yogurt as my snack. Make sure to get in your Water too.

Hemp Protein powder HI Fiber. Stuff is amazing!

No disrespect but dude sounds like a tool! His comments are very demeaning. Kick his ass to the curb. You need a partner who lifts you up not breaks you down... he isn't supportive... he sounds very insecure and when you 'lose the weight' it will get worse. My two cents for what it's worth. P.S You ARE the shit. Don't let any man convince you otherwise.

Nutiva Organic Hemp Protein Hi-Fiber Powder 3 tablespoons in your shake a day and you will go everyday guaranteed.

I can eat a small healthy meal without feeling like I am bursting at the seams. Only 2 weeks post op. Any solid I put it my stomach and some thick liquids make me feel like there is a vice grip on my stomach. I know its early on and this is normal but I just want to know I won't have to feel this uncomfortable every time I try to enjoy a meal. Thanks I am not talking about gorging myself with food I am talking about enjoying a small portion without enduring this. Thanks

at my one week follow up I asked if I could advance from full liquids to pureed b/c I was tolerating full liquids well. However, when I told doc what I was eating he said I was really already eating pureed b/c I would take Soups and run them through blender. So he said continue on with a soft diet if I have been tolerating pureed. I try to get at least one soft meal in a day... not b/c I am hungry just b/c I am so sick of shakes non-stop.

No those shakes go down very easy.. I can finish 8 oz in an hour and Water as well.

wow... My doc said soft diet.... maybe I should ease back and just do the Protein shakes for a couple more weeks. Thanks.

OMG I have some awesome ER horrors of how sex landed ppl in the ER. Spent over 10 years as an ER nurse. Makes for good story telling.
