Taking a stool softener daily is a good idea (to me) you don't want to be caught with something so large it brings tears to your eyes to pass it. If you feel you should go, even though that doesn't seem to be a problem because those types of things happen, just take a laxative and wait for it but take that softener because you do not want, you cannot imagine what might happen your first time or second time or third time to be on the safe side take a stool softener.

You haven't ruined your life, your just going through the funeral phase. {putting old habit to death} Eventually you will be able to enjoy going out to eat with your friends, you will just have to change the things you order {eat} no more crap you will have to eat slower and enjoy the conversation more. You have to learn healthier eating habits. You'll have to experiment with different foods until you find new favorite foods but you will find things that you enjoy that are healthier, give it a chance. You will be able to incorporate some of those old foods into your new lifestyle, {in moderation} just be careful you don't want to end up needing and weight loss surgery..Again. Have fun with it, exploring new recipes enjoy your new lifestyle. It's not the end of the world, It's the beginning of your new lifestyle... It takes time to mature into your new lifestyle, I'm still learning. Belief me, you might be missing that old lifestyle {Donut} right now but you with love the new you so much. Eventually those old eating habits will be a thing of the past. You will think about that yummy bullshit food occasionally but it gets better and better.. You will not want to eat that crap food anymore, as you mature you will learn better eating habits. You'll find yourself looking at people like why is he or she putting that bullshit food in their body.. It gets better, but try not to start point out the bad foods to your friends every time you're around them, they might resent it and dislike being around you The health nut... Imagine that LOL...

I know we need to think about the volume (oz) of the drink and how much protein is in it. Our stomachs are smaller so we need to get more protein with little effort. In other words the more protein in the bottle the better...being that we need 60-80 grams a day. Sent from my 5056N using BariatricPal mobile app

Our drink should have at least 15 grams of protein per serving I'm pretty sure Sent from my 5056N using BariatricPal mobile app

How much protein is in the drink And is it whey protein? Sent from my 5056N using BariatricPal mobile app

Are you a Christian/ Religious?...If so, you probably never fast...Get your Bible and begin to meditate on the word (Pray and Read) Stay in prayer... You will start to heighten your awareness, deep meditation something will begin to happen...In all your awaken hours, stay in prayer. Focus and ask for the strength to accomplish your goal.
