So at my first nut class she said we would be on 4 oz of protein drink 3x a day for 7 weeks starting the day of surgery is that the case for anyone else

My nut told me post op we are supposed to do 4 oz protein shake 3 x a day in between our meals to get in the protein required

My husband is my biggest cheerleader and biggest critic he only wants what's best for us

please be careful about switching phases of food to quickly because you can rupture a staple line

i like your blog

yeah my nut would say yes because of the sugar

i want to chime in on this . both me and my husband work part time. we earn about 600 collectively a month and we get food stamps we were getting 120 a month. now we get 76. we have a bjs member ship. (think costco or sams) the amount we get per month is enough to buy 2 gallons of milk 10 pounds of chicken 1 package of morning star farms burgers 2 dosson eggs beans and ground turkey and bottled water. the rest of the month we scrape by

i chose to tell my very opinonated dad and his reaction was nothing no reaction. now weather or not he tells my step mother is a whole other ball game. she is a real piece of work. i cant stand her to be honest but my father loves her so i put up with her to keep the peace. she has mellowed in her old age. i will make a formal announcement about my surgery next year at thanksgiving once i am 5 months out so no one can try to sway my decision but thats just me

when i had surgery on my ear which as you can imagine is no where near my stomach i was barely able to walk around with out a cane for 5 to 6 days let alone lift a child or play on the floor with one i assume with this surgery i will need much more assistance from my hubby

I'm up from 283 to 285 today

yeah go you thats awesome

i haven't but one thing i did to get used to the machine was wear it for an hour before bed while awake i know it sounds strange but it worked for me

my husband has family in peru i have always wanted to hike machu picchu

both me and my hubby are prone to poly or open relationships the only thing holding us back is our weight because we are both morbidly obese but were looking to expand our relationship. so being attracted to other people and loving your partner can and does happen but not discussing the details is a mistake. you need complete and total honesty in open relationships jelousy is a nasty beast when it rears its ugly head

i also had a bad weekend first it started with the cookies and my weekend get together no big deal but then i had a birthday party to go to there was no bottled water and i caved and had a full fat soda for the first time in a month and i binged on potato chips lots of them and ice cream cake. im retaining 3 pounds of water right now and feel like garbage but its a learning experience for me. now i can tell my body no dont eat that remember what happened last time

I'm so sorry

ive been fat shamed from my dad from an extreamly early age and it sucks but thats part of my motivation to show him i can do this also i hate being fat i absolutley hate it

congrats to all of those getting surgery tomorrow and tuesday im sure you all will do fine keep us posted on your progress

i also had a coke habit i quit cold turkey it was painful the first two days with the withdraw headachs and the cravings and lack of caffine but i powered through. now i drink crystal light everyday to get my sweet fix. they even have a flavor with caffine so im not deprived of that

Did you speak with a nutritionist the should give you a plan you can to follow

Yes I work I work in a psychiatrist office so the clients we see once a month will definitely notice my absence and weight loss

im only telling family and two close friends thats it the clients at work im just telling diet and exercise which is the truth to some extent

i would call your surgeon just to be on the safe side no one died by being overly cautious

@@cbrr i think its a mistake to not let your kids do thanksgiving let them go visit grandma or an aunt or uncle while you heal it will take the pressure off you and they will enjoy it. also your gonna be a week out still learning how to get in water and protein maybe letting the kids visit family will help you heal better. im having my surgery around march so hopefully i will be healed by the time my yearly family vacation happens.

I weigh my self every morning and it fluctuates about half a pound or so between days but it goes down I'm participating in the Halloween challenge so Mondays at home and Fridays at work are when I record my weight
