???????

So I’m sitting here 13 days PO and I keep having these recurring thoughts of “what if my bypass just doesn’t work...?” Irrational, I know. I’m not talking about losing the weight and regaining. I mean straight up NOT losing anything ever. That doesn’t happen, right? I have no complications, no pain, I can drink and take my supplements with no issue. That scares me too. Like, I thought this was supposed to be hard. If I didn’t see the scars on my belly I would second guess that I ever had surgery. ?

That wouldn’t quite be the same as mashed potatoes, would it?

Yeah it’s on my list as OK, but I have so much guilt I can’t even deal LOL I think I’ll be avoiding until I get to the store for the alternative ?

Above my profile pic it still says "Patiently waiting..." I'm not though. Where in the world can I change that? Can't find it anywhere. Thanks!

Great minds think alike, girl!

Sick like nausea or the other end? That sounds awful

Anyone else feel guilty eating mashed potatoes in the purée stage? Prior to surgery I was strict keto for 2 years and potatoes were like a deadly sin LOL Next weeks grocery run I think I'll be grabbing some mashed cauliflower...until then, the real thing won’t hurt since the quantity is so small, right? (like 2 tbsp)

For the past year I’ve used the Atkins app to log food. Since I just started purée (13 days PO) I’m starting to log again. Wasn’t bothering the past couple weeks. 25g sounds good. I did a little reading after my initial post and that amount matches up with the info I found ????

Ohh is it a preset goal? MFP used to piss me off so I quit bothering LOL Whts the amount it sets for you?

How much fiber is too much? I’m switching to the Atkins 30g + 7g of fiber shakes to help save on the amount of Benefiber I use. One serving of Benefiber only gives 3g and the suggested amount per day is 3 servings (9g). I don’t wanna get stopped up. Thoughts?

True!!! You got this, girl!!!

I am SO glad this post was made!!!

Oh gosh! They won't let you add some more protein (unflavored) to those Glucerna shakes?

That blows!!! My Shark Week just ended on Monday'ish. Keep full of protein and you'll be fine!

I'm officially on the May 2019 Loser's Bench with ya'll!!! Next Tuesday, May 14th
