I have fallen off the Wagon and struggling to get back on. I have fallen back into old habits. I'm eating candy and drinking soda. Even though it makes me sick to eat it I still go back to it. It just started in the past week I'm just afraid I'm going to lose control again. I've lost almost sixty pounds so far and I don't want to gain it back.

Chewing gum? Yes or no?

I have been doing good for a month and then today I fell into an old habit and I ate all day long. It seemed like I was abottomless pit. My son was not feeling well today so we didn't do much today. I don't know what I can do to get this behavior under control. I'm also coming off a 3 pound gain last week. Which I don't understand either. I think it's me building my muscle back from not getting hardly any protein the first 3 weeks. Any thoughts?

I had trouble with protein intake and liquid intake. After I started my soft solids I found out real quick what could happen if I drank too much within that 30 minute time frame. Everything came back up. Sorry if tmi. The drinking before is not as big of a concern but they want you to eat your calories and not drink them. If you drink too much before a meal then you won't eat as much. Good luck to you.

I'm almost 3 weeks post op and I have no desire to eat(drink) hardly anything. I don't know if this is normal or not. If I'm busy I forget to even drink my water. Any suggestions?

Thank you all so much for the ideas.

I bought those too. I tried the apple one today and I am feeling really nauseous now. The after taste to me is getting me.

I'm two weeks post op and I'm burned out on the protein shakes I was drinking and now I've tried gnc brand of powder and I can't stand the taste it gives off and the way it changes the taste of the food I put it in. If tried it in soups and smoothies. I was hoping that the taste of the fruit would mask the taste of the powder but nope. Now I'm stuck I don't know what else to do. My Dr has me on a full liquid diet for one more week.

What is a good brand of unflavored protein powder and where can I find it? I'm only a week out and struggling to get my protein in. I need different variety because the ones I had before surgery are really wearing thin.

I had surgery on the 19th also. This just started a couple days ago for me. I try to take naps when my son does but I usually can't go to sleep then either.

Hey folks, I am 1 week out and I'm having trouble sleeping. I go lay down no later that 10pm but can't fall asleep. The other night I was up until around 2am and last night I was up until 4am. I don't really know what to do about it. Any suggestions?

Thank you so much for support. It has helped a lot.

Thank you. I was doing really good the most part but the last couple of days I guess I've just been mourning food because I see everyone around me eating my favorite foods. Hopefully it will pass. Congrats to you also. Btw what did you use to get your protein in?

Just a week but I'm having a hard time kicking the craving. I just didn't really see how it would hurt.

I love peanut butter but I have no idea if it's OK to have right now. I like getting just a spoonful as a snack but I'm afraid to eat it right now. Any ideas or suggestions?
