I loooovvveee popcorn too! However I just didn't go to the movies. Hahaha. I don't know that I could be that strong, I swear they pump that smell into theaters! You do what's best for you but I wouldn't suggest cheating. This is going to be your new life. Know that in time you will be able to have a little popcorn. I am 9 weeks post op and had to bake my dad a birthday cake last night I usually will eat some of the batter from the bowl. Once I dumped the batter in the pan, I immediately ran water in the bowl and put it down the disposer. Took about 2 seconds for me to do that to avoid temptation. Today we are having pizza for his birthday I will not be eating that either. I will just make sure I eat before we go.

I also had really bad dreams after surgery not food dreams just dreams in general, along with pain and not sleeping. Whew! Glad all that has passed now.

I can drink everything that is on my program just fine. I can drink at a normal speed, I have never had to sip. Now when I eat......I can feel the restriction, I practiced before my surgery recognizing that I am full so I do not push my limit. I have never had anything come back up or slimed, I don't burp or hiccup either. I know when to stop. There has been once or twice I think I can have one more bite about the size of my pinky nail and decided after I chewed it that I better not swallow it and spit it out.

You will love it and it was approved by my NUT.

I do feel hungry sometimes, but two bites and I feel like I just ate Thanksgiving dinner.

No advice, but that is funny the way you worded that!

I had to skip puréed. No way I could do that. I had to do liquids a little longer but oh well.

I am 2 months post op. Down 91 pounds since the beginning of my journey. Sorry about the pics. Refused to take a good picture before and I am sad about that now I have about 37 pounds to make it to my first goal. Don't know if I will go further after that or not. Feels good to be losing though. I'm fit back into my wedding dress the other day. Not perfectly but at least it went on.

I just feel full. I don't get any real signs other than I am done now.

Hey I want your dietician! Lol.

Genepro is awesome!

Idk if this will work for you or not getting fluid in. I bought the small 8 ounce water in a case. Many different companies make the 8 ounce bottles. They are much more manageable than the 16 or 20 ounce bottles. I know it's a mind thing but I keep track on a piece of paper and I can get them down much quicker.

I would try just about anything. I cannot find one that I can take

None of my protein drinks count towards my 64 ounces of liquids. I wish it did!

Eight weeks post op last Monday. I have had a few stray hairs falling out. I am praying I don't lose in clumps.

I stalled about a week to a week and a half out too. It stinks! Hang in there!

I was there for two days after my surgery and I took a shower both days. I had a binder too. The nurses threw it on the bed while I was in the shower, I had no idea what it was, my husband said the nurse said I could wear it if I wanted. So I didn't wear it until I got home. Big mistake I should have to it on immediately. It is a God send. I wore it at least two weeks maybe a little longer, it helped sooooo much.

Oh girl, I was in your boat not too long ago. It's tough, hang in there, I promise it will get better. I was miserable, I finally got my energy back (most days). I can exercise again, get all my protein in and all my fluids in. It takes time to adjust. I know it's a big adjustment. But you are about to the turning point. Energy is the last thing that came back for me.

I am confused it says you are on full liquids? What kind of food are you trying to keep down? It says you were tolerating food? Just curious what stage you are really at? How far post op are you?

Congrats! I made it today too! What an awesome feeling!

I use the e cig in the hospital to. Not a lot, It was more of a security blanket. I have had no issues.

I am also in Michigan.

I actually found mine at Marshalls. I got a beginner, Intermediate and advanced for 5.99 each. I can really feel it. Hope it does something too!

Has anyone used resistance bands to work out. I work out at the YMCA as far as walking, jogging, biking, etc. I used to walk at lunch time at work but now that's it's getting cold I just don't want to sit and waste an hour sitting at my desk so I bought some resistance bands and I am going to start dong that at lunch time. I was just wondering how they worked for some people that have used them.
