whose ur Doctor?

oh my, my Doc started me immediately. I hated the chewable multi vitamins so I got the gummys and I chew 4 a day. The b12 of course goes under the tongue and I feel the energy almost immediately. I'm sorry ur going thru that but ur the only one of the 12 ppl from work that all had this surgery that was told to wait 5 weeks. I'm not liking that at all, u need ur vitamins.....

yep trust me it's all in ur head. For so many years u've been on a routine to do/ eat as u please. Now it's a game changer and u hv to retrain urself on what & how much u eat. It will be 1 yr for me next month and I'm just about to the point to where I don't care about eating bcuz I still hvnt learn lil bites lil bites lil bites. So My tummy cramp up cuz I'm chewing big bites and not breaking it down enough. Heck 40+ yrs I ate one way and it will take a lil longer to retrain myself but overall I'm good. I still drink my Protein shakes and drinks

the water is supposed to help but yes we all go thru the constipation phrases for a while. Activia works.

are u taking ur vitamins and B12's?

yes that went away a week or so later

5 day pouch test. Ask ur doctor about it

I thought I had it bad, bless u! Liquid meds was my best friend as it might be to strong for u.. Did u try taking half the dose? I had it hard drinking anything my first week, then I realized I should try the protein shakes and that's when I began feeling better.. Good luck and keep me posted

your doing absolutely great... How long has it been since your surgery? I cannot tolerate fruits as much as I love them, they make me cramp up & I cannot keep watermelon down & that was my favorite. I wish you luck with your up & coming event ????. I love salads but after 3-4 bites I'm done. I'm still at the stage that I'm seriously shuts wasting food... Ireane

the fight will be with not understanding in your head why you can't have more than 2-3 bites of something that taste r e a l l y really good and trust me when I tell u, you will try it and when u do, h o n e y it will feel like a 200 lb child is stomping and pulling on your insides. Sooo pleasssse be careful once you get to solid foods. 10 months I'm still fighting that battle but on a different level. After 45 yrs eating my way, it's going to take a little longer for me to get it right... Keep in mind I am saying this with a smile on my face..Good luck

chicken breast hurts going down, hamburger if I take to big of a bite, most fruit as u said, potatoes and more than 3-4 bites of bread...

ahhh ddnt know it was the only fish diet thinning my hair, great tip- thank you for sharing that...

. I started with a tblspn of peanut butter once to twice a day and it made me feel a lot better. It has a little more than the recommended sugar but that was based off of two tablespoons as I was only eating one... I was told by my doctor to do a five day pouch run. That's 1 day of straight liquids, two days of soups and soft foods the fourth day fish any and the fifth day all proteins (meat)... I plan on starting that soon to kill my last 10. Everyone thinks I'm small enough and sd if I lose any more I will look like a crack-head...lol whatever I hv more to go...

tooo much sugar and weight may not come off easily

yes yes yes, on all labels you want for the Total fat & Sugar to 10 g or less on each....

there will be days you will lose nothing then all of a sudden 5--8--13 lbs lighter . I weigh everyday and that's awful. I had my surgery last Oct and I'm down 55 lbs. my goal was 65 lbs and it seems this last 10 is crazy. 3 months and only 2 lbs. I drink decaf Coffee and I use flavored creamers. When I go a couple days without coffee I drop 3-5 lbs, I go back to drinking and I put those lbs right back on... Can't break the coffee habit so easily ... Darn it!!!

hmmm hvnt heard that one. Is she drinking any protein drink (juice not milk) ? If not she should. It will be tiny sips for at least a few more days to 1 1/2 weeks

drinking lots of water and Activia
