Yay!!! Way to go!

Here's me 13lbs shy of my heaviest weight of 333 last summer and me two days ago at 233!! And I have no idea why the picture loaded twice! And I have no idea why the picture loaded twice!Ok, I guess it didn't.

I'm working on a couch to 5k three days a week, but really need to get back to strength training some also.

My other comment didn't post as a reply. Who knows what I did. Anyway, here's a link to the video. It made all kinds of light bulbs go on for me! http://positively-healthy.com/bariatric-patients-why-you-shouldnt-drink-while-eating/

I think the important thing is to keep your liquids separated from your solids, regardless of protein content. I saw a spectacular video about this. If I can find it, I'll post a link.

Definitely. Lookin' good!

As long as you are not barfing now, then it's fine. I had a couple links of my husband's ice cream last week. It's all good! Just don't over do it. One bite will not completely screw you up. Just don't do it everyday.

Threw up this morning, now everything that goes in my stomach makes me feel sick. I pray this is a one day passing thing!!!

I had the same problem with protein. About a week after surgery, it all started making me sick. Luckily, I've been able to eat enough the last week or so to average about 65g, so I've nixed the powder!

I also use a straw. It hasn't bothered me gas wise, and I drink more with it. (Don't know why.)

Are you on a PPI? If not - ask your Dr to prescribe one. Feel better soon!Yes, I take a PPI each morning. This is the first heartburn I've had since surgery. It kind of caught me by surprise!Do you associate it with something you drank/ate? Might be worth a call to your Dr to see what they say.I tried to go without my shake this morning as they've been making me sick. So, maybe the lack milk in my tummy? Otherwise, who knows.

Dealing with horrible crazy heartburn today! Anyone else have this problem? Found anything that helps?

Hang in there. You'll get past it eventually. I am having a very "blue" day today, so I understand. This too shall pass!

The way you worded this was perfect! Made me giggle out loud. "5 pack+Bonus 2 Free" Just bought some today, but no bonus. At least they were 2 sizes smaller!!

Still have this almost constant mild nausea. It's not bad, never vomit, just bad enough to be annoying and make me not want to do anything. Others are having such problems, I feel dumb complaining about it, but it's slowly taking its toll on me. Just want to go one day without feeling crappy. Gotta wonder if it's ever gonna pass!

Where did you find it? Is it good?

Yes, I received a prescription for 14 prefilled syringes and had to give myself a shot in the stomach once a day. Not enjoyable, but after listening to your stories, I'm quite happy I did!

I was required to give myself lovenox shots every day for two weeks after being discharged to avoid blood clots. Just curious, did you ladies not receive a like medication, or did you develop clots despite the medicine? I certainly feel for you all!

Oooo, what is it?

2-4 here depending on what it is.

I want meat! Not a lot if it, just meat. Having a strong case of buyer's remorse today!!

Love it!!

Well just discovered the perils of eating too much/fast. Had a scrambled egg at 5:30 for dinner. It set ok (not as good as last time), drank 8oz of water between 6:00 & 8:00, and then made "ice cream" (high protein milk, protein powder and fruit puree in the ice cream maker). I didn't even eat a serving of the icecream, just licked the beaters, but I'm dying. Feels like there is a golf ball stuck in my gut!! NOT fun!!

I haven't had much problems with not eating "normal" food, but tonight my husband is making homemade baked chicken fingers. The house smells so good. Wish I could just have 1/2 of one finger, but since I just added scrambled eggs 2 days ago, probably not a good idea! :-(
