      Never realized what an obession I had with clothes until I started to clean mine out. I have cleaned it out four times now and still have plenty.....couldn't tell I have cleaned it out if I didn't have a large container of hangers. I still have not wrapped my head around the size I am now wearing. I bought some new tops (just because I wanted something new..LOL) and had to take them all back because they were way to big......BOY that feels good!!!

      Before surgery I used Atkins protein drinks. I loved the Dark Chocolate Royale. I was on liquid diet for one week prior to surgery. After Surgery....I tried a lot of different protein drinks and could not gag them down.....they were too sweet or too chalky. I still cannot eat yogart....way too sweet. I drink GENEPRO....30 grams of protein in a tablespoon. It is odorless and tastless......there has been some controversary on here that it really is not 30 grams....but those of us that use it .... love it. I mix it with Crystal Light (or another cheaper brand) lemonade.....I get in my protein and water at the same time. After surgery I also would take refried beans and make them thin to a soupy substance and eat it with cheese as a soup. Lots of us eat Wendy's chili...very high protein. When you are on soft foods....you will have to run it through a blender. Good Luck

      Just don't give up.....stay persistent. It took my years to get my done. My insurance had a clause that they wouldn't cover and no they have a cap on the amount they will cover (which is not close to being enough)......when the time it right.....all the doors will open wide for you!!! Good Luck

  7. NOthing taste good to me. Will those go away?

    1. TEXASLADY52

      TEXASLADY52

      Your taste may change daily. At first nothing taste good and you are not hungry but it will all come back. Things you loved in the past you may hate and things you hated in the past you may love......it is a different kind of journey.

But this week I have not loss the expected 2 lbs a week. I am still on soft foods. It seems to early in my weight loss to stand still at 223 for a week. Has any one done this, this early ?

      It is not uncommon.....your body has to adjust to what you have put it through. We all stall and some of at different times. Usually when the weight is not coming off....the inches are. Just keep doing what your doctor and NUT tells you to do......we are in this for the long haul.....it is not a short road trip.

      I like that.....I don't like it when someone keeps asking me over and over how much I have lost......I always tell them I don't know for sure....haven't weighed at the docotor lately.....you would think they would take a hint!

  11. there are some seriously passive aggressive people posting on some of these boards....seriously, grow the hell up and if you can't say anything nice (kind, helpful, encouraging, etc.) don't say anything at all!

      I agree.... I try to tell myself that they just have a strong opinionated personality....and they don't really mean it the way it comes across.

  12. Nine weeks out and I still cannot eat. I may can eat one day and then it will be several days before I can eat again. One thing I have discovered is that I cannot eat anything with spice???? I have always loved spicey food, but just plain black pepper just sets my stomach on fire?? I made squash casserole and baked boneless chicken thighs yesterday.....all I could taste was black pepper....just one bite and that was all I could handle. I have been on a long stall......was told I was not drinking enough water and not eating enough. I cannot drink anything at least 30 minutes before I eat and at least 30-45 minutes after I eat. So it is either eat or drink? Been trying real hard to get my water and protein in, but I just cannot eat??? NUT said I should be eating at least a half cup by now.....but that is not happening ... the only thing I can handle is soup??? Any suggestions???

      I can't sip.....If I drink anything at all when I do try to eat...It is like a overflowing pipe.....it comes right back up. I tell everyone that I foam like a mad dog.....LOL
