Thank you. I thought maybe that was the case. I can't seem to take my pictures down either. It is a privacy issue.

Is there a moderator who can help me please?

If there is a link to close an account, I can't find it. I know the link at the top of the page is for technical issues, but I clicked on it to see if I could get to a help page. I keep getting a message that I don't have permission to view that page. How can I deactivate my account?

A lot of things are making me sick lately. I tried 3 meatballs got sick, some ground beef same thing. chicken only in chicken salad. So chicken salad, eggs made 10 ways until sunday, half turkey burger patty, and fish has been very boring.
I finally went to Walmart and decided to try some shrimp. I got the bag that comes 100-150 pre cooked mini shrimp. It wasn't expensive at all. I just threw it in a pan with some butter and garlic. 3 oz have 21 grams of Protein.
I ate 3 oz and didn't get sick so I ate about 6 more ounces. OMG it tasted so so good and I haven't been sick at all.
So if you want something else that is high in Protein definitely try these shrimps. You can get the bags at walmart in one of those coolers right before the meat section.

It's literally the worst. It just snuck up on me. If I had eaten candy or something, I'd have expected it. This was a total surprise...
I am 3 1/2 weeks post Op from gastric bypass. I'm not going to complain though 32 pounds down from starting weight. 17 down since surgery.

I've had the dumping syndrome 4 times since surgery 3 months ago. I cannot take really big pills, I can't eat spicy food, or greasy food (I tried two bites of Breakfast sausage, never again!)

Yes, eating solids too early can be bad news. IMO, it's not worth pushing forward with the diet because the sleeve needs time to heal. If you're feeling "hungry", you definitely need to talk to your doctor about getting an acid reducer for you. Part of that hungry feeling is head hunger as well. For most of us, that goes away once all of the ghrelin hormone is out of our systems, which can take up to 30 days.
Is having solid foods a few days early worth the possible risk that you'll cause a leak and end up in the hospital or on a liquid diet for months instead of a few more days? I don't think so.
Instead of sitting there obsessing about what you can't eat, drink some Water, go for a walk, call a friend, or have a nice cup of warm broth. Right now it seems you'll never get to eat solid food again, but it will be a minor blip on the radar in a few weeks.
Good luck!

Hi ladies I am at 4 months post surgery. I would love to answer or help you with any questions. I weighed in 2 weeks before at 298. I did the 2 week liquid diet lost 14 pounds pre op and had my BMI under 50 %. I was nervous that it would not work or something would go wrong etc. I was nervous for nothing. I can tell you all the journey ahead is one you will never regret. I am down 60 pounds and have not exercised. Not saying this is ideal but until I could get enough energy it was not in me to do. On top of the weight loss when my surgeon was operating he found a Gist Tumor on the outside of my stomach removed it had a biopsy done and it was Stage 1 cancer. By the grace of god if I had not ventured on my path of weight loss it would have never been found until it was at a large mass state. These Tumors you cannot detect because they are on the outside.
My journeys ups and downs are the clothes is falling off. I can cross my legs. I have so much energy. The downs are literally my eyes are bigger than my stomach so my urge to eat a full plate is real, but you can't 1/4 cup serving sizes is no joke. So I get the Premier Protein shakes sold at Sam's Club they have 30 grams of Protein so I drink 2 some days 1, but as long as I meet the 60 grams of protein I am good.
These holidays were killer on my sugar. So back tract again.
You will find it hard to get your Water in but the Protein Shakes and any liquid will contribute to at least 32 - 48 oz.
I would also suggest you take a daily Omezeprol acid pill. I get mine at SAMs also. My heartburn was really bad. So asked my doctor and he said it is ok.
Eating beef is a little tough for some reason it does not digest well. They say no steak for 6 months but even hamburger is rough.
Just blend or shred everything.
I am wishing you ladies a safe and successful journey.
