It's terribly annoying to myself and everyone around me I'm sure! Struggle daily to be in a good mood, especially with my hubby

Sick nurse here! They are much more fun to put in than get! Once it's in though there is not much to it!

Premier protein has already made shakes with 30gms of protein and they taste good! Sugar free Popsicles are still something I really enjoy!

I took Milk of mag on day four and went on day 5, oh and just an FYI! It's not the same as before!

If you have a smart phone it's easy to track calories with my fitness pal! I find it super easy to use and really takes a lot of thinking out of it for me!

I have been doing about 650 calories and aim for 80gms of protein per day. I have been able to do it most days! My nutritionist said 600-800 calories is where I should be!

Thanks all for your understanding and kind words. Take it day by day and keep in mind what I am doing at all times! Husband is much older than 10 but acts like that or less sometimes! Lol it's a process we are learning!

This morning as I was measuring me eggs my husband decides to take my 1/2 egg out of my bowl that I had just measured my portion in. I literally turned to put my scale away and turn back and he is eating an egg out of my bowl!!!!! I got so mad, I lost my mind on him. There were boiled eggs sitting right next to my bowl in the package he could have had!!! But no he had to get it out of my little bowl! What is wrong with him?!?!? I swear he lives to make me crazy! However I am crazier since surgery too, my temper is really bad. Anyone else going though this too? Help me with tips on this type of thing as well if you have any!

Great idea with the Mio!

Some days it is a challenge but I do find the premier protein shakes really help me reach the goal!

I think we all feel your pain!!! Stick with it and it will pass before you know it!

I am at 6 weeks in Tuesday and I have been around 600-650calories per day too. I aim for 80grams of protein per day. My NUT did tell me that 600-800 is where I should be right now!

I have been debating on a softener because my stools are so hard now. I need to see if there are any natural ways to do this first!

I like the chocolate best but haven't tried vanilla

I weighed today on my 5 week anniversary from surgery and not quite down 20lbs. I am learning to take it in stride. Getting all my diet components in is a challenge everyday so as long as I do that and exercise I think it's a success! I hope the scale catches up to where I think I should be though!!! Lol

Just keep trying, it HAS to move at some point! Have faith in it!

Ok let's do this!!

I just discussed my surgery options and spent a few minutes with the nutritionist discussing diet changes to start. I had A 4 month medically supervised diet I had to follow.

Mine is worst in the morning! I now have a dry mouth when I wake up now too which is awful as well, not sure why I can't keep my mouth closed when I sleep now!

When I saw my doctor for the first time we talked about what surgery would work best for the weight I needed to lose. I had the sleeve done. I am a month post-op and I have no regrets it second questions about my choice. It took me a long time to cut out the soda so great job on that! Definitely a necessity! Good luck with your appointment!

Great inspiration to us newbies! You look amazing!

Hang in there girl! It will come!!! Just keep it up and the pay off will be worth it. We are all right here with you!

I just finished the puréed stage and I never measured per cups but I always had 2oz of protein and 1/4 cup of fruit or veggies.

I had my one month today and am down 19.6 since surgery and 70 pounds since I started my journey on my medically supervised plan!
