@@Elode that's awesome

@@Elode I will try it don't you love your job? Lol

@@Kindle maybe I'll try that instead of milk I really didn't like the taste of the almond milk..thank you

@@Elode I tell people what to do all the time I'm an EMT lol

@@Elode btw I can only take sips of stuff lol if I actually take too big of a sip it hurts..with the exception of the coconut water I can actually take a little bigger sip

@@Elode yeah that one is definitely better..you have been so helpful thank you so very much..it help when you have someone to give you advice that has gone through it you know..so thanks again

@ShrinkingPeach@LipstickLady thank you so much for the encouraging words I really needed them

How was the flavor of the lactaid Kindle?

Lol..I just switched to coconut water myself I've always loved it and it's much better but the carbs are like 28g so I was worried about that, but those 2 recipes you described sound amazing! I'm going to try and get those 2 proteins you mentioned and see how it goes. When you ate in the beginning did you feel like it took you forever like a bite every 5 mins? Lol

@@Elode wow that's awesome..I was drinking designer whey..you said you make them with water? Maybe that's my problem as well I was making it with milk. Thank you for your help what do you do about foods?

@@Mrs.Hansen88 well my surgeon didn't do a pre op diet so day of surgery I was 210 today I'm 187 I lost 23 pounds my surgery was on 6/5 so 5 weeks today. I know that I'm not really getting my fluid intake water really hurts my stomach and I was able to do the protein shakes but now they kind of bother me as well

@@Mrs.Hansen88 don't get me wrong I'm happy for you Congrats!!!! I just need help lol

It sometimes my weight is at a stand still. You guys who have gone through this maybe you can give me tips on how to make this journey easier. Im an EMT and I go back to work on Monday and I need my strength and energy lol

@@MzStockton I wish you the best

@@rsb0807 Congratulations

@@JamieLogical thank you for the encouraging words..I really appreciate it and I lost another 2 pounds today yay

@@JamieLogical thank you so much you are absolutely right everyday is something different..question for you did you stop losing weight for a few days?..I've been the same weight for 3 days! I know I'm probably just overreacting I did lose 17 pounds in less than 2 weeks lol

@@rsb0807 I definitely felt hungrier before surgery I think is the fact that you know you won't be able to eat for a while..good luck getting your approval and your surgery

@@sassyone854 thank you for your help the heating pad did the trick lol

@@kiks congrats and good luck you will have pain for the first few days..try ice for the first couple of days and heat after that (it helps sorry I'm an EMT and is hard to stop giving advice at times lol) drinking water is painful for me it hurts a lot I've read that a lot of people have trouble with it if you like lemon try squeezing a some in your water or crystal light or something like that..coconut water if you like goes that really well..for me things have to be really cold or warm I can't do room temperature..take very very small sips at a time TRUST ME!! you will feel pain if you dont..it's only been a week and 5 days but everyday is a new day and you figure new things out..but I wish you the best and I'm here if you have any questions

For me, after losing 15 pounds there was nothing else that helped. No amount of crutches was cutting it. Mine wasn't even that bad. I really his it quite well. I was more conscious of it than anything. There are different products -wraps & things you can try. They seemed gimmicky to me, but maybe others have had good results with them. Thank you for your help
