  1. Never had that. Are you dehydrated? Mabe your throat is dry?
  2. Lord when you find out let me know....it stinks I agree
  3. @@Granny Barbie wow I wonder why they wouldn't tell you? They told me but I have BCBS Federal so mabe they just knew? Strange.
  4. @@CanyonBaby hey it's worth a try!
  5. Dry foods like chicken do that to me too. Try to avoid dry foods if you can. Did you try to drink some warm fluid?
  6. Here you go...Below are common symptoms of gallbladder conditions: Severe abdominal pain Pain that may extend beneath the right shoulder blade or to the back Pain that worsens after eating a meal, particularly fatty or greasy foods Pain that feels dull, sharp, or crampy Pain that increases when you breathe in deeply Chest pain Heartburn, indigestion, and excessive gas A feeling of fullness in the abdomen Vomiting, nausea, fever Shaking with chills Tenderness in the abdomen, particularly the right upper quadrant Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) Stools of an unusual color (often lighter, like clay) @@downsizingdiva maybe that can help.
  7. Now you celebrate! I would practice eating sloooow and small bites. Try some protein drinks and find one you like. My favorite is chocolate ready -made premier protien drinks. I wouldn't spend a lot buying big tubs because your taste can change after surgery. Look up some healthy recipes and snacks that you can have after surgery. Get a food tracker app on your phone ect..if you don't already have a way to track food. Find some good chewable vitamins. Make a list of stuff for the hospital. Research what to expect after surgery. Know your food stages so you can prepare and know what to buy. So many things!!!
  8. Ok update: it seems to be fine on safari must be Google that's the problem for me.
  9. You should be fine. Just take it easy popcorn is carb-a-licious.
  10. @@tmlawson it's rough the first week but should get better after that. You just had surgery it's going to take a min to heal. Try to hang in there. It won't last forever.
  11. I like the P3 snacks. They have meat, cheese, and nuts. All in a small portion. I'm not sure how long they can stay out though? I also like boiled and pickled eggs. Maybe you could get a little cooler to carry with you so the food will stay fresh?
  12. Maybe I should just use safari? I don't know if it does the same thing there, I will check.
  13. @@Alex Brecher I use my iPad Air 2. I almost always use google.
  14. @@Okiebon I bought the hazelnut from my Walmart and I don't love it either.
  15. The experience is different for everyone. You will be singing a different tune in a month or two. Just wait. Recovery stinks in almost all cases. It will get better.
  16. It depends on your surgeons practice.
  17. I'm not at 6 months yet 5 1/2 but I've lost 65 lbs.
  18. Oh I have to re-write things almost constantly! I've learned to copy periodically so when it all disappears I can paste it back. It's extremely annoying. I almost quit posting all together for that reason. It becomes too time consuming. Maybe @@Alex Brecher could tell us why?
  19. Yep call your DR and get checked out.
  20. Sounds like your doing well, it all takes time keep up the good work!
  21. Your going to need a mind adjustment. Start now and throw all the junk away in your house. Sit down and write out a healthy grocery list. Research healthy snack options and get some. Track everything you put in your mouth. Drink more water. Try to focus on something besides junk food. Maybe start a hobby. Whatever just don't go back down that road. I had an aunt who did the same thing after WLS and put all her weight back on and is now miserable and depressed about it. You don't want that. Stop while your ahead!
  22. I have some when I didn't take my prescription my surgeon gave me. I don't know if I still have it because I keep my prescription filled. Maybe I will try to stop at 6 months post op....
  23. I have a mini ninja I bought at Walmart for like 20 bucks.
