At what point did you begin using straws again?!
I never stopped using them. They were the only way I could get my fluids down in those early stages. Now I don't use them as much as I use to but they were a life saver early out.

LOSING TOO MUCH WEIGHT!
Maybe you should up your calories to 1600 -1800 for the amount of exercise you are doing. Also, the more muscle you build, the more calories you burn. So you could be burning more calories just sitting than you were when you were heavier combined with the exercise and you have a huge calorie deficit. Just a thought. I am 7 months out and have not reached goal. I am just going on what I have been told about losing. Good luck

Do you use tools like My Fitness Pal, Fitbit, etc?
I use MyFitnessPal and a Fitbit Zip. I love them both. I lost one Zip and had to get a replacement ASAP I felt naked without it.

Best way I have found to make coffee
I use Premier Ready to Drink chocolate shake in my coffee. It does not lump up at all. Coffee is a diuretic and contains acid. I am fine with my Columbian Decaf. Occasionally I have real coffee but I don't make it a habit.

Best way I have found to make coffee
I was told not to use the instant coffee packets because they contain caffeine. So now I put chocolate Protein shake and sugar free peppermint mocha creamer in my coffee. I usually have to put it in the microwave to heat it up so it's hot.

Surgeon follow up issues
I'm sorry that you experienced that. My follow up appointments have always been scheduled at the conclusion of the appointment I am in. Could i possible be due to the holidays? Try calling back on a different day and explaining your situation. I also would not be able to take off with such short notice.

Hospital stay question
My surgery was on a Tuesday and I went home on Thursday. I was thankful to be in the hospital during that time. By Thursday morning I was ready to go. I was discharged around 1pm.

Protein shakes
i like the Premier ready made Protein shakes. 30 grams of protein. I buy them at costco. 18 for $24.99. Sometimes they have the case on sale for $19.99. They are convenient and don't taste bad. I put the vanilla and chocolate ones in coffee as creamer. The strawberry and creme is tasty as well.
