Stop being greedy! Give me one of those!! ?

What is Nascobal? And where can I get it! ?

Thanks RICKM and BIGUTAHMAN.. Great advice! ?

I decided I didn't want to drink alcoholic beverages when I was 22yrs old.. (Wish I had given up sugar as easily) I told everyone since there was nothing I would do drunk, that I wouldn't do sober... Let's cut out the middle man and save the hangover! I was ALWAYS the life of the party! (And designated driver) ... So show your friends you still know how to have a good time.. Or forget em! Find new friends! ?

Thanks.. I'll try to find it... ☺

That's wonderful! You are truly Blessed! ?

THANKS! ?

How do you find 3 husbands?? I can't find one!! Lol.. ?

It's good you found this site... I didn't find it until after my surgery. I would advise that you read through what others have to say about their journey, to get a good idea what you are in for. I had no idea what a struggle it would for me. I say that because 4 wks post op I am still TRYING to come to terms with my new life style... I too have depression, joint and back pain, diabetes... This is a solution... But it is not the EASY solution.. Good luck on your journey. ?

Thanks!! I like to know the science behind the answer... ?

Thanks everyone.. This is great advice! I'm going to increase my Fluid intake, I just have to keep trying to find something I can tolerate. I know my Protein is probably low also... My Dr. Discontinues protein shakes after week 2 .. ( I couldn't stand the taste anyway) but I can't eat that much protein, makes my pouch hurt, hard to digest. I see the Dr. on Monday, will ask about protein. Does anyone know of a pleasant tasting Protein shake ? I can't stand the ones that taste like vitamins!

It means you only have to wait 2 mths for your surgery! Insurance average wait time is 3-6 mths... You have go on a supervised diet and weigh in .... Meet with nutritionist.. ☺

I'm 30 days post op and I have only lost 12 lbs... Is this usual? I know everyone is different... But... All the posts I see have much more rapid weight loss. I'm not getting in enough liquids... Only 35-45 oz per day. ( everything tastes terrible!) Could that make a difference? Any advice?? ?

Dr. Office tells me to just keep trying to find something I can tolerate... ?

Thanks ? Anyone try a chicken wing? Fried or baked? What about spicy food?

Thanks everyone for the great advice! ?

Thanks Crowmilk! I can stand the taste of juice.. but I was worried it might be too much sugar.. ?

I'm 3wks post op and I forget to drink... I can't stand the taste of water or artificial sweetener.. Don't know what I'm going to do ? Thanks for the advice...

It has been recommended not to eat fried or fatty food... Anyone know the reason and/or the consequences??

Whew! Thanks!! ☺
