6 days

I am 6 months out and if I haven't eaten all day, can eat an entire lean cuisine. But I don't. I can't get more than 1200 calories in on a good day. For sure follow up with your surgeon as others have said.

I like Classico light Alfredo.

From what I understand you're more fertile due to your body releasing stored estrogen. I don't think we can take oral contraceptives because we process everything much faster and don't absorb as much.

Has anyone had an IUD placed after surgery? I was thinking about getting one. How is the pain?

Water, Fairlife milk and decaf coffee.

I switched to decaf and honestly don't miss caffeine anymore!

I'm exploring new options...I get bored so fast!

Has anyone tried it? I know that there are only 9 grams of Protein per serving but I mix my Protein shakes with milk (I prefer powder as opposed to ready to drink) to get more protein in. Alternatively, I was considering Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard whey. I like the idea of Herbalife having Vitamins and minerals in it though. Every bit helps! Any feedback? I am 5 months post op and find I still need a Protein shake a day. I usually do it for Breakfast because I can take it on the go.

Does anyone feel like they eat too much at times? I swear at dinner I ate what felt like the equivalent of half a cow, but at lunch I had about 4 bites of chicken and was full. I feel like I'm struggling with portion sizes. Anyone have any advice?

Does anyone use any kind of pre or post workout supplements? If so, what kind?

I was May 1, 2015. Down 67 lbs. wish it was faster!

I eat burgers without the bun and I'm fine. I can also do a few bites of thin crust pizza.

I used FMLA.

I called the nurse on call for the surgeon and she told me it could be anything and to follow up with my PCP. Soooo, we shall see what happens.
