Thank you so much for responding.. It means a lot. I know there's not a simple answer or fix but some of what you said I will definitely try!

Hey everyone, I've been really struggling for a couple of months now. I'm 11mos out and between 30-40 lbs to goal. Things in my life have been getting increasingly more stressful and last week I totally fell off the food wagon! I'm angry, frustrated, disappointed in myself, etc...etc... I've been falling back to old habits- sneaking food, binging and all I'm thinking about again. I feel like I can't stop! Everyone in my life that I told about this have just gotten mad at me and goes on and on about how I am screwing up and disgusting that I would let this happen. I need my mind back in the right place. I know what I need to do but how do I get back on that path in my mind??

I'm in Pittsburgh area. Having mine Nov 20th at magee

I'm south of Pgh. Going to Dr McCloskey through upmc

Thanks guys! Wish me luck. I'm going to try really hard to do the back on track plan!!

Thank you for all of your thoughts. I tried again today but failed. Not giving up though. I just wish I had support from more ppl around me. On a side note, I have made contact with my nutritionist and going to hopefully talk with her soon

Not sure where you live but Walgreen's sells adult liquid Tylenol. My doc recommended. I managed with heating pad though and didn't need it.

That's awesome! Congrats!!

I'm able to drink almost as before, but as I gulp, I remember I'm not supposed to do that anymore! Then I stop myself. It is strange, but sometimes I wonder if I actually had the surgery...

I am a huge fan of unjury, it has a light taste, not overly sugary, and is on the thinner side texture wise. I also enjoy premier Protein, as the pre-packaged aspect makes it an easy go to when your in a crunch for time. nectar is also good, when your tired of chocolate and vanilla, they have a few alternative flavors that help to save your sanity when you get tired of the same ol, same ol.

I have found 3 that I actually kind of love. The lean body shakes are all good (gnc and Vitamin shoppe), if you like coconut, there is a cocoprotein shake I get at Vitamin Shoppe (individual only) - both piña colada and chocolate are very good and also I love all the Jay Robb egg white Protein powders. I drink all as is and don't add anything. Good luck!

I used Muscle Milk Light. There are several flavors. For me I found vanilla Creme to be the best. It is important to blend the powder and Water together using an electric blender such as the Ninja blender with a single serve glass. Trying to mix these by hand did not give the proper consistancy. Also I would blend in a banana into my Protein drinks to give it a more acceptable flavor.
The important thing is to try several Protein Drinks until you find one that is acceptable to you. In my opinion they all taste terrible. The trick is to find one that you can tolerate which fits your particular taste buds.

I hear you both... thank you for your comments. I feel calmer now and glad I didn't give in, but the thoughts continue. I guess it will come with time. I hope it gets easier! Good luck to both of you as well.

If it helps I am 7 weeks out and I tried a little of everything now I am so miserable I can't sit down. Not that satisfied full wonderful feeling. This is painful! I would rather had not been able to eat.

Hi' I'm dealing with it too. I'm cooking for everyone and am having a hard time not tasting. Hang in there. It's just one meal! It's just one day! And for today you will be fine. It's difficult so remember what your motivations were for surgery. I know we'll both be alright.

I'm so thrilled! Today I was able to work out for a full hour! I walked on my treadmill at 4.0, and did two easy miles in 34 minutes. I lifted light weights after the fast walk! After that I got on my bike and took my dog on a run! Losing 45 pounds has a made a huge difference in my energy and ability to exercise.

Thanks! Just came home today. So far so good.

Went well. Thank you
