@@thisisthenewme Nice Story. Most people can't get to know someone in a month. The older I get the less time I have to waste. I'm not going to date one person at a time unless they have really held my attention for a while. It is too easy for people to pretend to be one kind of person in the short term, but long term they can't keep that faking up. Your profile picture has a baby in it, so I am guessing you are a family type of person. Everyone who is dating doesn't have those goals, seeking a long term companion for some people is about more than creating a family. @@4MRB4PHOTO This is like the third time you have told this story. I get it, your feelings were hurt. I don't get why people expect that someone who is dating them is only dating them. There is a reason is it called dating. She was rude for telling you it was a competition, but people should keep their options open. The kind of man that isn't willing to compete for my attention isn't the kind of man I am interested in. I have infinite things I could do with my time, if someone isn't worth my time and holds my interests, why should I spend time with them? I could cuddle with my dog.

@@SleeveSoon If you are really looking for a serious long term thing. Don't focus all your attention on one person, date several people and make them compete for your time. That makes it easier to weed people out and you don't end up dating one person for 90 days only to realize they are a complete waste of time. I think a month is too soon to zero in on one person. Dating is a numbers game.

The coconut is the only one I have tried and it is my absolute favorite. That tropical pina colada kind of flavor. You inspired me to order a case. I love them and I think they are an awesome product. Nice to know they are a cool company too. I'm a fan. I just looked at their website and realized where they are. It makes sense now that I am seeing them all over. I am going to make sure to give them business. God knows Illinois needs jobs.

Drinking lots of water is the best long term solution. It doesn't have to be a ton either but you find the sweet spot eventually. Also added in salad greens like a European mix and or spinach. I didn't want to start down the laxative fiber route and be stuck having to take them forever, so I just found natural ways to stay regular.

I have never seen bone broth with medicinal in front of it. I opened this thread expecting to read about the wonders of alcohol infused bone broth, only to learn we are just talking about normal bone broth

@@saphfyre14 If you have a normal metabolism (if you are really working out and into it, have it tested), your RMR is 2000-2200, depending on your age. RMR is what you would burn if you did absolutely nothing and stayed in bed all day, it is the base number of calories your body burns just being alive doing bodily functions. If you are eating 1000 calories, you are at a 1000 calorie deficit already, then you add in that you are burning another 400-500 at the gym (and that doesn't even include your other normal activities), so those could easily be another 200. It is very possible your daily calorie deficit with your diet and exercise it far too low. It looks like you are working on getting your calories up, so good luck on that. It is hard to do at first.

The one thing I have learned with my sleeve is, if I don't eat something then I have a hard time with. It almost seems like you have to use/exercise your sleeve. I can tolerate dense protein because I eat it every day. If I am not feeling well for a couple days and I don't eat much of anything, like just have Protein shakes to get by, when I start eating again, I have to start all over. Building myself back up to how many ounces of protein I can have at a time.

@@Clementine Sky LoseIt! Premium

Protein2O is my fave, I love to grab them on the go. I have never had the lemon flavor, I'm jealous. They are cold in the cooler by the door at the grocery store.

What you have looks better than my last airport meal. I had to settle for some kind of burrito Breakfast bowl, where I told them just to give me the meat and the cheese.

@@jackieu2012 Every restaurant is, if you know how to order. Can you be more specific about what you are looking for?

@@saphfyre14 are you taking anything for stomach acid? You could just be hungry every 2 hours because you have ramped up your metabolism with exercise or it could be stomach acid. At 2 months post op, you really shouldn't feel physically hungry. @@JamieLogical Is right about calories and nutrition. If you have a normal metabolism, and you are working out, you are creating a negative calorie deficit for yourself every day. You don't have any of your information filled out so I am not sure what your weight and height are. So for example if your RMR is 1500, and you are eating 1000 calories a day, you are already at a 500 calorie deficit. Then if you are burning another 400-500 calories, you are at a 1000 calorie a day deficit, your body is only getting 500 calories a day, which is starvation. I burn about 700-1000 calories a day on top of my RMR. I have to eat up to my RMR just so I keep losing. Which is really really hard. My choices are eat less and be less active or eat more and maintain my activity level.

The good ones are expensive, because they have real training. Anyone can get certified by spending like $400, so most of the ones at gyms are complete crap and they make $10 an hour. You can lose on your own without a trainer. Depending on your weight it would be better to get your weight down first before really trying strenuous training.

Early on when I did not finish all my food, I would weigh what was left and subtract it.

Also I had to stop drinking at midnight and I didn't have surgery until almost 2 PM. So the likelihood of me urinating was slim to none.

@@ahappycamper Maybe in the olden days pre 2010 . I didn't have one. That book is from 2007, the WLS dark ages.

@@jurisjitsu It is okay if just broth works for you, some people are heat/cold sensitive. So just add some unflavored protein powder to the broth. That was my favorite post-op. Still you need to contact your Dr.

@@jurisjitsu That was almost a month ago. Have you told your Dr? You need nutrition to heal and to live. You need protein, it is not optional.

The support is worth it. I'm not sure it has to be a binder, anything that holds you in, like some light shapewear will work. The support helps you not strain your stomach muscles, it especially makes it easier to sleep and sit up

If you don't want to be weak you have to get some calories and Fluid in. If don't exercise your sleeve and eat/drink to keep it open, it will continue to be hard to eat. It only gets easier with use. If what you described is really how you are eating, you are going to end up in the emergency room for dehydration. If all these cold items are hard. Try warm liquids, like broth with Protein powder. Warm Water. If you can't get your intake up, I don't see how it will be safe for you to return to work. Finally when is your one week post-op visit? Make sure you tell your Dr how you are feeling and document your intake for the Dr to review.

You can just wear spanx or something you don't have to wear a binder.

Excess skin, it is pretty easy. Back pain from breasts, etc.

@@Buffy1 Plastic surgery

@@LxA you just had surgery this isn't a stall it is normal healing. As you get further out, you have to increase calories depending on your metabolism, and possibly make other food changes. You have lost 30 pounds in a month, your body is taking a break.

try warm broth and unflavored protein powder
