Queer... I mean here.

You'll do great!

Best wishes Jon. Take it easy and don't compare your journey with that if others. You're definitely giving yourself a great gift. Keep us posted.

Thank ya!

Yeah. I don't see much change in myself - but pictures don't lie. 8 weeks yesterday.

Just working. Down nearly 30 pounds but scale stayed the same for a couple days. I know. I know. Don't weigh every day. Too hard not to.

I thought my world would end for so long if I came out. I was from small town USA. What's interesting is my sister came out when I was in college, but I never thought id be able to. I was the perfect child. It was my closest guarded secret. But the week before surgery... I said fuck it and did my thing. Happiest I've been since I can remember.

LMAO! My program had us on full liquids when we leave the hospital. Thankfully I can have fish starting tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How long before we can have sex after surgery. What about swallowing. Let's get some real talk. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Man thank you so much. I have been doing 2 premiere Proteins a day, but they're wayyyyy to sweet. Chicken broth is wayyyy to salty. Lol. I am making do with Water and Jello sugar free pudding. Went to Starbucks and got a peach green tea lemonade unsweetened. Best thing ever. I'm doing good with getting at least 64 ounces of Fluid, but the sweet protein - yuck. Have you tried unflavored protein? I use GENEPRO almost every day, it's 30 grams per tablespoon and has no flavor. I add a scoop in decaf coffee, I also use it in SF pudding..I purchase mine on Amazon. One way to cut the sweetness on the premiere is by adding it to cold decaf coffee, with a few pumps of SF torani syrup. With the chicken broth, are you getting low sodium? Our taste buds change so drastically after surgery but I promise it gets easier everyday I ordered and got the genpro. Tried it today - glad you suggested it. I put it in my Crystal lite raspberry lemonade. It's the best. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm gonna look into genpro. I have bought the organic low sodium broth - can't take it, at least right now. I haven't had a problem drinking fluids. I don't gulp but I drink a good amount at a time. That's one thing I was worried about. But it's all good. I'm down 40 pounds from my high weight and lost about 17 pounds since last Thursday. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
