I was on 10 day and lost 20 lbs. It was exhausting but I stuck to it without cheating

very possibly but not sure what that is lol.

I drink Premire Protein and put PB2 powder in ot to get rid of the taste!

Ok so I have been craving salsa. I am 5 weeks post op and got the ok for cheese so I can make chips out if cheese. They said I could have salsa if it doesnt have seeds. Anyone know of any salsa without seeds?

Weird I was approved by Anthem with 6 months weigh ins, psych eval, and 1 support group meeting. I would call and find out what they mean.

If you have costco where you are the permier protein is 24.99 for 18 pack of 11 oz shakes.

You have to do what you want. If you don't feel comfortable telling people by all means don't do it. I personally have told as many people as ask. I feel for me by telling people it will make me more motivated to lose the most possible weight and keep it off.

I am 3 weeks post op and got the go ahead after week one to eat soft proteins. I ate scrambled eggs and after just a few bites I felt sick. My Surgeon said to try again in two weeks which I did...a few bites and I am over the toilet throwing up. Anyone else have issues with eggs? does it go away? I gots to have my scrambled eggs!

The adkins Carmal coffee shake tastes a lot like a latte from starbucks. It has just a little real coffee

Best of luck to you. The first few days of recovery you start to think will I ever recover but give it a week and you feel so much better.

My guess is there is not one person on this board who didnt have second thoughts at one point. You have to make the best decision for you. Surgery is a big deal and has risks but yoyo weight loss and being overweight have serious risks too. Only you can make this decison and once you do trust yourself Also mindset is a big deal. WLS is simply a tool...A very effective tool but a tool nonetheless. If you tell yourself you are just going to gain it all back than you will. It is that simple. We have all gone through what you are going through or we wouldn't be here. Best of luck in whatever you decide!

Protein shakes are the biggest help there is. I know they dont taste great but the benefits of Protein can't be understated. How about carbs? Are you limiting carbs? Just remember this is a process and it will get better.

Try premier protein. It has an ok flavor and for 11 ozs it has 30 grams of protein and oly 5 grams of carbs.

Was wondering if any of you vets had an issue with low heart rate after surgery. Mine has been in the low 50s when sitting on the couch and low 40s while asleep (fitbit reading) I am just over 2 weeks postop and was wondering of anyone had this issue?

@@Daisee68 did you have chest pain with your gas? seems like that is my main issue other than sore and stiff belly. It worries me to have the chest pain.

I didnt have much shoulder pain, I have some upper right chest pain ehich worriese cause I dont want a clot. How do you feel 10 days out @?

did anyone have gas pain in their chest after?

yeah energy is a problem right now. Also taking a deep breathe is very painful. I am doing breathing treatment every hour our so but can get above 1500 ml because of the pain

No gas pain yet. I am far more sore today than I was yesterday. only able to walk 2 laps I also have a fever of 100.6 but no one seems concerned much about that.

I was up and walking about 8 hours after surgery yesterday. i am in more pain today than yesterday. all in all not awful

I just had surgery this morning about 8 hours ago. Could use a buddy or mentor who has been through it before. Any takers?

So I finally had surgery this morning and as a whole I feel pretty good. Pain is minimal except when I take a deep breath in. Knock on wood no neasua. Only real bad thing is dry mouth but I can get past that. I was up and walking 4 trips around the floor which they state is good. Where was everyone else 8 hours after surgery? Just need some reassurance that I am progressing well.

So i have started my 10 day liquid diet and I am finding ot hard to get enough calories but keep the carbs down. Anyone have any suggestions on low carb options? and how many grams of carbs were you allowed daily/

I am having Gastric Bypass surgery on September 9th and feel somewhat prepared. What one best peice if advise can anyone that has gone through it give?

Has anyone had their surgery in Omaha? If so with which doctor? What facility? How did it go?
