I was a big coffee lover but after surgery it does not taste the same so I gave it up.

It took me about two months. Plus I was not getting enough protein. When my team helped me with the protein it made all the difference.

No regrets. I love my new self.

You can and will!

Great idea. Thanks for sharing

I think you should call your dr. Better to be safe

Sending you prayers. Keep a positive attitude and congratulations for doing something for You.

My surgeon told me not to worry about calories. Just to focus on protein first and get my 64oz of fluids. I have added some veggies but they fill me up too fast.

Boy can I relate. I have boxed my fat clothes up in boxes. I now have the boxes in my car to go to goodwill. Getting them out of the closet was helpful and even better getting them out of the house. So many head games go with this new life journey. I did keep a couple of my favorite outfits just to saw me how far I have come.

Protein first is what my team says. Plus fluid. I'm still using protein shakes. That is the only way I can get enough protein. You might re-visit the topic with your team. Best of Luck

Call your surgeon ASAP. Better to be safe than sorry

I am getting fruit in occasionally and it has not affected my weight loss. I just live by the rule, protein first!

Best of Luck...best thing I have ever done for me.

Congrats. Your positive attitude is so refreshing. It will help you so much thru your new journey. Best of Luck

So glad you went to the ER. Im sorry this happened to you. I know it brings anxiety and fear. One day, one thing at a time. It is A set back but they will get you back on your journey. Sending positive thoughts your way.

I waited 4 weeks and then my dr cautioned me to be careful not to swallow an chlorine water. So I waited to do laps.

NyQuil was ok by my surgeon.

Fantastic..

You rock..good for you! Congratulations

Here is to a new you and a great life decision. Best of Luck. Embrace your journey

Congratulations!!! That is fantastic! You look great. Keep on your journey and you will be there very soon. You inspire me.

Was the best decision in my life...I had to do it or I was going to be totally disabled. 3 months post surgery and I have had no regrets. Best of Luck with your journey.

I always pack my insulated lunch bag with stuff no matter what. Having the right things is so important. I usually pack a protein shake, water, yogurt, string cheese, tuna in a pouch etc. staying totally away from fast food. It is too dangerous and you have really no way of knowing the nutrient values. Good luck
