Ualaw08, congratulations! You are gorgeous!! I bet you naked to all those meetings now. Can't wait to not be tired!!!

Try room temperature, I had the same issue

So tomorrow will be 15 weeks post-op. I started out at 241lbs the day before surgery and am now at 197. thus this far I havent really worked out on a regular basis other then mowing the lawn or taking the little to the park and zumba once a week. I got my treadmill set up last night so I will start jogging and eventually running. I need some help on how to get rid of the lower abdominal pooch. and making sure I dont have wings on my arms. My pant size was on the rise, I was wearing a 20-22. and a 1x or 2x shirt. I am now at 16-18 pant size and l-xl shirt. But slight problem I dont see it the change yet, will that feeling go away? I want to be able see that I have lost weight, others see it but I cant yet.

I am comfortable with the food I can no longer eat and drinks I cant drink. I feel like I have replaced my food addiction with a SF vanilla iceed coffee addiction (weigh in, bad or okay) I cant drink Water it hurts my stomach but I can drink flavored water, tea, iceed coffee and milk.. weird i know

I am a March sleever and kinda feel the same way. I have told myself that I will have a work/gym/family/life balance, so I only go to the gym 2-3 days a week and YES, I have begun to drink Iced soy latte with sugar free carmel. It is my life saver when I want something punchy
I'm also working on a grant that has prevented me from concentrating on losing weight, so I'm in coast mode. I don't know...I don't worry about it too much. Clothing sizes have been dropping rapidly and I use that as a good measurement to success.

Mine is hiccups or a burp. I feel soooo much better after a burp that I just stop right then and there. The hiccups however...They drive me nuts. I also find I will hiccup if I eat a little too quickly.

I get a little burp. It's a definite signal, because one bite post-burp, and I regret it mightily for the next hour or so.

I had my first adult beverage about 4 months after surgery. I got buzzed on one drink.
I had another one over the weekend - a Vodka Cranberry...same result. It tasted good and I got buzzed quickly.
I was never a big drinker, but I did like to toss back a couple beers now and then. Beer doesn't make me feel good and my doc doesn't approve due to the carbonation. It doesn't taste good to my anymore now, so it's not a big deal.
On the rare occasion I drink, I just sip very slowly and make sure I am well hydrated before and after.
You will be able to drink again - maybe not the same drinks and not in the same volume.

How about you make the mashed potatoes but with cauliflower.. I found a recipe on pinterest absolutely delicious and tastes just like Good old fashion mashers

Everything. Taco Bell was my go to binge food before, and now it makes me throw up within 5-10 minutes of having a few bites.

Google quest bar, they sell direct from their website, also, I just bought a sampler pack on Amaxon, search there too.

Im not upset with you at all for posting this. I am a week pre op and i need to hear that its not going to all be unicorns and butterflies and then hear this is normal because I am sure I will be going through the same thing and I dont want to feel like Im in this alone. So I thank you miss for venting where I can read and prepare for a month or two of hardship. I am sure of it though that in the end it will all feel like a distant dream and I will be happy about it.
I wish you a speedy recovery and I hope that you start feeling the sunshine on your face and your beauty within come to the surface leaving you with no more regrets just a wonderful life and future to enjoy! HUGS!

Try instant Breakfast essential Sugar Free Chocolate with fat free milk. Also try room temp Water and eat lots of popsicles if you can't drink water

I had a good dream the other night.. carne asada with rice and Beans and ice cold Dr pepper...so delicious in my dreams

Hello,
I had surgery on the 26th. I haven't had pain meds since the 27th not any nausea meds feels like I'm doing fine.
Monday not so much I was confused as to what I did I felt horrible I was mad at my self for even thinking this was a good I idea. I could not drink Water cause it hurt. Protein drinks were also a no go.
Today, I'm feeling better I have lost 18lbs I'm trying to get all my fluids in and drinking at least two instant Breakfast for Protein. I can only drink room temp Water and I can indulge in sf popsicles.
broth is going well, little boring so I just got Soups and have strained than out to just drink the broth.
I hear Isopure is a good source of protein has anyone tried it?
Here's to going into week 2

I am ten days post op and I find it easiest to drink room temp Water. If you can't drink water eat 1-2 popsicles an hour. That was recommended by my surgeon which is part of center of excellence.
