Hmm. An extremely small bite that is weird. Definitely not ready for that food. I would call your doctor or your nurse and see what they think. I'm sorry that you are going through this

It might be impossible now, but every time you eat crap food you are stretching your pouch and allowing for overeating later in a matter of months. You've got to establish healthy eating habits now. NOW. Get counseling. After reading about your in-laws, they sound like an extremely dysfunctional bunch. I'm so sorry for what you and your husband have been through, but you guys have got to get out of there and get a healthier life. And perhaps they'll see that the "easy way out" is what they are doing: not doing anything but destroying themselves. Success is something you work hard at and I know that that's what you will do. I truly feel sorry for those teenage girls in that house who are already so sick. Deep down they've learned what healthy eating is, why it's important. Deep down they know what they're doing is wrong. They are incredibly sad.

Google Muscle gel or ISO 20, FrogFuel, etc. there usually whey protein in a gel that's only about 4 ounces to choke down instead of a big shake. It comes in a little envelope

1 week post. whey Protein shakes make me want to vomit. Every time. Can't stand smell. I'm not getting my protein in and I've still got a week on full liquid. Has anyone had better success with protein gels? If so which brands? TIA

Today is my day. Who else is today? Skin prepped, mouth dry, so excited! Please send prayers/good vibes.

These help so much! Yes I see bruising with fresh 2-5 day ones (expected) but those of you 2+ weeks out can hardly tell. You all look great and thanks so much you eased my mind a great deal!

This would be an interesting research project. I'm in the wrong order but same concept. Left my verbally abusive husband ("fat cow" and worse), then realized how empowering big change can be and started researching WLS. I think when one person makes a big change the other will inevitably feel left behind if he/she doesn't jump on the healthy change bandwagon too.

Man. This is good advice for just about anything!!! :-) I'm sitting here eating sugar free Jello jIgglers and hating the preop diet. 2 days to surgery. WE GOT THIS.

Your mom sounds like she is making it about herself. Is she overweight? Projecting her weight issues onto you? Incredibly selfish. Do your thing and don't look back.

Thinking of all 12/16ers as I sit here doing my preop appointments and labs. Good vibes and prayers go out to yall.

Way to go @@Amy Carter and @Davis153. Get some walks in to help with gas pain. Hope you get good rest. Another huge round of surgeries tomorrow.

@@gigim84 have you ever had a CT scan, MRI or biopsy done? That would be the only way they could tell. Lab results help but do not provide a clear picture.

OK 15thers, please please please post when you can and let us know how you are doing!
