If you don't like my question don't respond. Good for you for remembering everything. Not all docs talk about every things. If they did I wouldn't have asked the question. Bye. #GetOverYourself

Not trying to sound like a lush, but when can I have a glass of wine? ???? Thanksgiving is 5 weeks away and I'd love to have a 4 oz glass liquid love.

Go back to pre op diet for 14 days. 3 meals a day. 2 meals are a Protein shake and/or Protein Bar. 1 meal is lean protein and veggies (salad with meat). Do your waters. FOCUS. It's not worth dying over a snicker bar

I'm suppose to do 800 but don't usually hit that

Surgery 9/14 Down 26.7 (14.2 since surgery). Not getting all my Water but doing well

Stomach

Highest (7/27/15) - 276.5 Surgery day (9/14/15) - 264 Current - 250.6

I'm good. Much better than the day's immediately following surgery. I had a very hard time with the anesthesia. Couldn't stay awake. Had to stay an extra day. Then I learned that morphine and I don't mix. The first few days I couldn't eat or drink. I wasn't getting all my Proteins or fluids. Not even close. Doing so much better now. I can take respectable size gulps of Water which is really important to me because it's the only Fluid (other than wine) that I love. Getting 60gms a day is hard, but possible. Unexpected surprise.... My period returned ????. I haven't had it in months because my IUD, but I guess it's a side effect of surgery. Starting weight: 276.5 Weight at start of pre op diet: 274.8 Surgery day weight: 264 Yesterday: 252 I'm happy with being 24.5 lbs lighter!!!

That is all. 2 weeks post op tomorrow. #finally ????

2 weeks out. I miss wine. Haven't had any since August

Don't weigh in daily.

Not sure I agree with this. You want to get your Protein in so you don't lose muscle mass while losing weight. You might be surprised! I hated cottage cheese pre op but don't mind it at all now. Along with Peanut Butter (which I now LOVE) and a few other things!I love PB but I'm not approved to eat it yet.Confession: I've never had cottage cheese but the texture disturbs me. Texture of food can turn me off. I promised myself that I would try it before I hit 1 month post op LOL fair enough. How about ricotta? Different texture. Or laughing cow cheese? Vitamin shoppe has protein pudding. I love laughing cow. It's not on my approved foods list for this stage yet

I rarely feel hunger. When I do 2-3 spoons of pudding or applesauce do the trick. Which, isn't enough foodEspecially because it has no protein!!! Substitute Protein rich foods or at least mix some protein powder in!! Yup. Because food feels impossible I'm just putting protein powder in all my drinks and applesauce, pudding, etc
