Oh man.. my husband comes home from Wal-Mart today with cookies chips pizza for my kids even though we had agreed we were going to change everyone's eating habits. I nearly cried. So everyone is munching on pizza and I'm sitting there trying to get down sips of water. I felt so bad I just went to my room to take a nap. Then he asks me what's wrong? Ughhhh I had no words. I've been pretty much quiet all day. I just want to sleep and wake up when it's time to eat regular food. And when I say regular I mean healthy food of course. I've always loved cooking and kicked ass in the kitchen when it came to healthy recipes. My problem before the surgery was I didn't know when to stop. I could eat tons of whole wheat pasta or brown rice. I always wanted something sweet after every meal which is where I would usually mess up. Anyway just had to let this out

@@Gracy0721 I can't see the picture I woke up today feeling really weak. I felt like I was going to pass out while making breakfast for my family. I immediately started taking my sips of water which seemed to help a little. I got through almost half the bottle. I made my protein shake and started sipping too. Felt full so I stopped but still feel weak. I feel a headache coming on too :'(

Lol! @@Disciple I did today! I was so happy! My body felt so much better

Same here Abby! :-)

Sorry to hear that @@rosieuk just remember the big picture. Your kids and especially you will be glad you went through this! I feel bad for mine too but I just look forward to the future to where I can chase them around without taking a break! :-)

I've been to Puyallup! My husband was in the navy from 2000 to 2004. We stayed in Everett and Bremerton. Oh how I miss it!! It's my life goal to make it up there again Yay! Thank you Abby!

I live in el paso tx and it's pretty nice out. @@abbyrn27 a walk outside sounds great right now. I have a ? The taste of my caramel protein shake is too sweet so I added a dash of cinnamon. It leveled out the sweetness. Is this ok? I don't remember the bariatric center saying anything about cinnamon

Disciple Glad you're ok! It's not that the food advertisements are making me hungry, I just never noticed how much they're around everywhere.

I guess everyone's different. When did you have your surgery Rosie?

Haha I bet! I have my first follow up appt with the surgeon on Tuesday. I can't wait! I'm getting grossed out by my protein shakes

Yum do you mean the cheese in a can ? Or string cheese?

@@lily3 awesome ! Keep us posted with your progress :-)

Lucky!

Feel the same way. I'm noticing food advertisements everywhere! I tried to avoid pinterest but I actually looked today to find soup recipes and that was a mistake lol I can't wait to be able to have oatmeal mmm and a creamy soup

I have the same insurance and it took 1 week

Yes! I feel like I have to burp when that pain comes. Sometimes I do sometimes don't :/

No I didn't should I call the Dr? I have a feeling it's just reflux cause it kinda feels like heart burn

No it's in the middle right below my breasts

Yea I think that's what it is. Thanks girls :-)

Do you ladies get a sudden pain in your stomach that lasts for about 30 seconds without even drinking anything? Are these hunger pains? Or acid reflux?

I'm so glad I can talk about this with you guys. I definitely don't feel alone. And yea I should have asked for a heavier pain med. @@VSGMama I've had 2 c sections as well!! They were a piece of cake compared to this surgery!

@gracy0721. Lucky! You got the good pain meds. the Tylenol they gave me is in liquid form and I have trouble getting that down

@@abbyrn27 I'm taking protoix for reflux and Tylenol with codeine

@abbyrn27. How does that unjury taste? Are you mixing it with the power ade?

So far I'm only drinking water. I've been slowly drinking my protein shake. I am having trouble with the pain after I drink something. Do you have this problem too? It's taking me a whole day just to finish a bottle of water I'm a bit worried about that
