I looked up on Pinterest healthy appetizers... And and made a bunch of tbose and froze them...i cant eat more then a few bites at a time so reg size meals go to waste

Power crunch bar is the best 13gm of Protein and for those still in puree stage its perfect melts in your mouth!! Ok well maybe ill be the guinea pig by the time the weekend is out if no one else replies...always lookibg for ways to get liquid and protein in.

I went to walmart tonight and saw these there...they had 4 flavors...has anyone tried these? If so have can you compare it to something?? They only sale in pks not singles...it was about 8.00pk. Thanks!

Feel free to message me privately if you like...happy to be there for you eap since i have been there....

Kelly forgive me...but life is too short you deserve better...i would have left him...i know many wont agree but i was married before and omg sounds like him...had i not left him i never wouls have met the love of my life...been happily married to him for over 20yrs now...you have only one life...why live it unhappy??

Oh and i drank out of a shot glass...to limit how much i drank and monitor

Temp, temp temperature!! I LOVED ice cold water...not no more..warm, room temp or hot...isopure has several flavors and each bottle has 40gm protein...i only care for the ice tea flavor...the rest i dont care for they are a bit expensive but just try them...aso i warm up my protein in the microwave just for a few seconds...not sure about your nutritionist but yogurt, ricotta,pudding,cottage cheese was on my ok list in the liquid phase both protein!! I made baked ricotta...so many ways to get your protein in....when i first got sleeved they told me not to worry about protein until about a few days later...to just focus on liquids...i did top ramen...flavors i liked just poured out the liquid...tossed the noodles lol...dr thought that was brilliant lol

3/21 here

Oh wow thats horrible...bottom line u nees to take of u and ur kids if u have any...sorry to say but men are options... My husband has been my rock through this...i cant imagine him or my kids not being my support...you need it...its only gonna get harder and it paints the picture already if hes not gonna be their for you...encourage him...talk positive the...when its all said and done...dont think now think long term....

Well mine is non stop for months!!!! Sometimes heavy most times just enough to wear a liner...no symptoms other then bleeding... Sucks for other things if u know what i mean!!

Welcome...i was the samw way...if i drank anything cold my stomach would spasm... All i drink now is room temp, hot or warm drinks...i bought bariwise hot chocolate taste decent and it has 15gm of protein...

Wow!!! You go girl!!! YOU did this no one else!!! Would love to see pics!

I really did not have to jump through hoops but i recommend the hoops cause so many think this is easy that its gonna be a breeze and its permission to eat what they want.... This is EXTREMELY hard...its a new life new beginning BUT its up to everyone to keep it going....

Prayers!

What are u taking med wise and Vitamins. I have a guess but rather you say what your taking first... Also when you do drink or eat what is it?

Well i have a desk job (office manager for a doctors office) so i was planning to go back that wed to be honest...but they kept me that xtra night in the hospital (that shooting was outside my hospital window btw if u remember!) So that did not happen..i got out wed...went in on friday for about an hr..but did go back half day monday and full day that Tuesday... I was fine..i mean a lil sore when i moved certain ways but that was only from having clothes on...before that i spent my days in sweats and sweatshirts! Lol so all in all i went back 1 week later...if u have a desk job 1 week is good 2 weeks is better... Re ins approval...let me tell u i threw a stink cause they did NOT have my approval the day of surgery and i have heard horror stories about getting stuck with a bill..however a week later i got the letter myself from bcbs approving the surgery... I think back to my first few days and omg!! Now i laugh..get yourself some disposable shot glasses from iparty cause thats how much i could drink at a time sipping...1/2 an ounce at a time! Sara is great! I really like her. The week before my surgery i went to the last group meeting and the other nutritionist was there..did not care for her...as a matter of fact i hate the meetings...i have NOT been to once since and until they make me im not going... I hate hearing people abuse thier bodies and STILL not eating properly and wonder why its not working...or why they gaining weight...i did TWO years! Of medical supervised weight loss at mt. Auburn...i got results and learned alot but ultimately my health was getting worse fast regardless which is when i started to consider this...and when others just willy nilly get it done with nothing more then a few classes it pisses me off so much... They should NOT be allowed to get the surgery...not everyone like that but many are and i cant stand it...hell even here on BP people like that. For those of us who are NOT over eaters and do watch what they eat etc its a slap in the face... Anyways im rambling...wish i know who u were...it will be ok...im rooting for ya an if u PM me happy to give you my kik,IM or text info so you can hit me up with questions...

GDK lmfao

Went to my pcp today...guess what my labs look fantastic!! Everything she even said my bad cholesterol is non existent (never had that issue anyways) My chest pain is gone...or damn near...she felt around and said i probably i tore some cartilage in my chest..she explained the pain to me and it is exactly what i felt!!! She said take it easy so i dont regrivate it....consider it done! Lol My weight today is 158.2 Looking forward to hitting the gym in a few months.

Kittycathy22 we all here for you!!

I read that book its an excellent book..the best is how it describes your rebirth...think of all this like ur being reborn as a newborn you fussy, learning your body, discovering yourself...its not gonna be the same when ur a 2 yr old toddler u know what u can so and cant and u have the energy etc... My bariatric center has a library we can borrow books from and i borrowed it there...it has real life scenarios and stories which .ake it great.

Get a new hobby..nails, make up...make a new friend to replace the old one..im actually buying a dummy head to learn how ro braid hair fancy lol

Hun relax..we have all been there...trust us..even me!! I was sleeved 3/21...your Protein counts as liquid are you counting that?? 64oz is un realistic...hell i did not even drink that much fluids when i had a stomach!!! Lol all of us here know the feeling...my nutritionist has me at 40gm of protein a day MIN i get that by taking two shakes and counts towrds my liquid...or bariwise hot chocolate that 15gm of protein + liquids...yogurt, cottage cheese, pudding all count as liquid...u can get protein pudding too...tons of ways...feel free to PM hapoy to help anytime!! Hang in there it does get easier promise!

Awesome

My fear of causing my own harm and them have to go back in and start this all by scratch is way more then enough to make me stick through it all

Hang in there!! Most people usually lose 1-2 lbs a week! Also if your not passing your bowels you could be backed up...you will get there...baby steps...your body is adjusting just as you are...im 3 weeks post op too and i lose 1-3 lbs a week...very weird almost as if i lose it over night... Whats your food intake like? Why are you putting applesauce in your pills? What kind? Sugar is a no no so early on....
