Happen to me...believe this is normal our poor body's went thru a shock! Hang in there! I had to have hubs hide scale...to obsessed with numbers it was affecting my moods...have someone hide it bring out once a wk maybe. ..ull drive urself nuts! That's my solution. ..

Iv gotn them since beginning. ..it's my sign I'm over the top! Haha...

Never heard of this brand milk...where can I find this? Also looking for different unflavor whey that tastes like not protein whey..any suggestions? ? I'm gagging on mine! Keep up good wrk..don't rush it I had hernia repair also...ruff last few wks...

Exactly..it's learning new behavior it's hard but a must we have to retrain our thinking an body.. have to decide these matters before surgery. ..it's way to much to grow thru if ya don't! ! Ordered my bike...so I can sit..nice big comfy seat! !

U will do great! I was in preop almost doin the happy dance position bed!! So happy! Lil nervous th as to be expected. But I had total confidence in surgeon an anesthesiologist. ..I also had hernia repair I did have spasms after I sipping water...but they eventually went away.it's normal if ur having that fixed. If not it's a breeze! Smile count ur blessings ull b fine do exactly Wats on ur program an trust that it will do it's job as well! keep us posted. ..

I had same bad spasms...with every sip that passed thru esophagus. .I still have to baby mine. It gets easier it's just takes a few days to wk or so..

My hubs luvs that food! I buy the frozen antre from Amy's. ..that's as good as it gets for now..Haha...sounds great!

I had several of my drs tell me they have the same report of pts fibro pain improvements immediately! I had my doubts!! Iv had fibro over 25 yrs..I no everything it causes an then some..if it's fibro ur dx with you have serious underlying diseases there an fibro is the outward symptom...they go hand in hand..my topical muscular pain is disappearing. No lie!! I can rub my upper outer arms. ..before surgery u could not lay a finger tip barely a shirt sleeve it would radiate pain sooo bad. I would have never believed it but the drs who referred me to surgeon in first place I trusted an valued their opinion..I'm feeling soo much better it's well...I'm still having a hard time believing. .lol..my blood sugar is in 80s...I have not taken Glucophage since surgery. ..an my mental depression is gone! No joke. I'm down half on my wellbuterin. ..yes I'm in a happy place right now an for the first time I'm soo hopeful an excited for the rest of my 50s. ..I turned 50 last Dec. ..anyone else have these drastic changes please share..

Gotcha..thx!

Thx. ..ur right...I had a weak day for sure!

I no...I'm getting burned out an ink wks out!! Put the scale away...it's a obsessive behavior an messes with ur feelings an head...if u have a significant other or teenager around let them hide it an get ur mind on something else!! It will literally drive u bonkers!! We are worth numbers...u can do this! ! Once a wk...or once a month...Iv had to do this also...if I'm wrong someone tell me. .but that's my input...trust the plan! We all have basically same protocol maybe just a lil variation but generally the same...do ur thing an trust. ...it's goin to drop mayb one pd at a time but our body is adjusting...treat it right don't mentally beat urself up..the psych said its a big mental struggle at times she said seriously. ..ppl Dont think so in beginning but it is.we are up against a lifetime of wrong behavior have to reprogram ourselves! We can do this!!

Is gastric an option for your situation? ? I didn't like the other u mentioned my surgeon didn't even use that tool as a option...

Yes I am...I want food! I'm 2 wks out...having a difficult period right now nut working thru it...ur definitely not alone..

Congrats! !!!! Way to go...

This is exactly wat my hubs said to me tday. ..I'm craving crunch an food!! I have to keep telling myself this when I go on the hunt thru the cabinets...stay on protocol!!!

To prevent blockage...or seepage. ..it's a pain I no...but they no wats best...hang in there..

U must have had hernia repair? ? I had the really bad Esophageal spasms also...thought I was dying. They lasted a wk for me...they do calm down. I seen my internists an surgeon last wk...my internists said all nerve endings have been cut Theyr going to spasms. ..hang in there it kept me from wanting to swallow also..I stayed 2 days in hospital to stay on iv fluids bc of spasms...I new if I left I'd end up right back in ER with dehydration. But I was ready to go home by end of day 2 an went home that night. My internists called me in some lidocaine spray to spray way way back in me throat to swallow to numb the esophagus call an ask ur surgeon or internist if u have one to call u one in..don't spray in front of mouth then ull feel like u do at dentist lol...just way back in throat...it does get better if u don't get the spray...I grabbed my chest with every dang swallow I no how an wat ur goin thru..it's normal. ..I'm 2 wks out an def stand by my decision. ..hang in there!!

I'm 2 wks postop. ..craving to eat food!! I ate a few bites yesterday of cantaloupe. .was that a no no? How about a lil seedless watermelon? ? 2 of my favorites. ..any input....i'm getting gag reflexes now when it comes to liquids..needing solid substances!! I no I no...I took few bites...

I st realy tight full feeling after just 4 bites. If I push it an I have I end up with hiccup. .sometimes sneez an hiccups trust me it's funny to look at but there's times I have to stop an try a sneez at the same time hiccups. ..totally frustrating an almost impossible! Lol...I have to laugh...but I do have tightness I ended up taking a Roland today had a lil indigestion. .better...but can't eat much period an hungry all day..aggravating

I'm having same issue about when the full mark is. By the time it hits its to late an I end up with chest pressure a bit an hiccups..still learning here to! Still swelled here also. I'm 2 wks out..I've been 2 Dr postop visits doing good..he says it gets better every passing day.

Ok everyone. ..I am pushing abit on the stage 3..I am 2 wks out..I took a test run yesterday with a lil chicken salad..I didn't puree it the sound of that grossed me out..so I took baby bites an chewed the scrap out of it. I got the hiccups 2 times yesterday not just from food but also fluids..I am really getting tired an starting to put my nose up at protein drinks..dying for a crunch..so I picked up a bag of organic veggie type chip stix an had a few I wanted crunch so bad I was hunting all over the kitchen for something. Had no sharp pains. Just felt guilty..my hubs seen the bag an took it he said he's guarding it..lol..I just needed a crunch!!! I'm getting sick of liquid. .I have had some yogurt. ..I think the unflavor whey protein I'm adding is getting to me. There's a certain smell an yes even a tad flavor. .can I get some input on wat others favs are brands that everyone's found they really like or is everyone getting in the same boat as far as gagging it down an living with it? Getting desperate here. I made home made tortilla soup yesterday it was cloudy raining an only about 70 out sounded good so I did I drank the broth of it was good...I can still only get up to 2 an 3 oz in still at a time...my tummy growls all day..I swear I'm putting something in mouth every hr or 2...an suggestions? ? I am using chike protein for coffee an flavored beverages. ..I'm gagging now the unflavor powder for adding in soups an yogurt. I still smell it an taste it...

I'm glad u posted this...I think I'm drinking way to much around main Protein intake..still have old thinking habits. I have to change this I think it's why I am hungry all the time or not satisfied. ....work in progress

I break my wellbuterin in 4 pieces

I am. ..but there under control..I have several dx..that's one...I only take wellbuterin now..have for almost 10 yrs...I havnt had any emotional issues or depression yet..good so far...feeling really good so far!

I no..it's tuff but you no I'm so ADD anymore I take my meds when I think about it..which is usually when I'm sipping thru out the day..Some days I get them all some does I totally forget..
