I had runny stools until I went to full liquids and incorporated two different probiotics and benefiber. No more diarrhea after that. Both probiotics can be bought on amazon: Bio Kult and Prescript-Assist. Together they contain a wide range of healthy bacteria Sent from my SM-G900T using BariatricPal mobile app

I like pacific with a little bouillon added...it was just what I needed after surgery. I also really like the Adkins lift clear drinks because they have 20 grams of protein and taste pretty good. Sent from my SM-G900T using BariatricPal mobile app

Great list! The only thing I would add is GasX strips. Event though the majority of gas is not actually in the GI tract, the strips helped with some gas that was in the GI tract. I thought it did help me some. Sent from my SM-G900T using BariatricPal mobile app

I have been cooking for my family all along because I am the only one who cooks and I have to say, it really was hard at first! I would actually get all grumpy, especially if I was hungry myself...almost like a little panicky. But now that I recognize how I was feeling, I make sure to eat a little something before or while cooking. I don't cook on an empty stomach if it's food I won't be eating!

I think the book The Beck Diet Solution by Judith Beck was previously suggested my OutsideMatchInside...she is a real inspiration, so I picked it up for Audiable. It is cognitive behavioral therapy focused, and that it exactly what I needed. It's awesome! Also, if you aren't easily offended, the book Never Binge Again by Glenn Livingston, is a quick read that puts the CBT techniques into an immediately usable context with very powerful imagry. It might not be right for someone who is very emotionally sensitive about their weight but it was exactly the kind of tough love I was looking for. It is free on Amazon Kindle right now.

Maybe it is time to talk with a professional that specializes in relationships. They could take a look at your communications, past relationships, expectations, etc. And make some suggestions of things you could do differently. It can be hard to look within for answers but may get you closer to connecting with someone in a meaningful way. Sent from my SM-G900T using BariatricPal mobile app

Please look into Dr Illan with bariatricpal. I had mine done on April 21st and it was the best decision I could have made! I am thrilled. There are many testimonials to be seen in the Mexico & Self Pay forum...look in the General Weight loss forum to find it. Sent from my SM-G900T using BariatricPal mobile app

My husband and I were so impressed with Juan and the other valets (I have a hard time with names and after surgery it was impossibe!) I so wish I could remember the other valets name because he was equally amazing! I also have to mention Robert, though. Robert drove us to and from the airport and I really enjoyed hanging out with him. On our way home, we had some time to kill, so he actually hung out with us on the aircraft carrier that is docked in San Diego, now a museum. Most drivers would just wait in the car on their phone but he was so friendly and personable. I will never forget the kindness I recieved...I never felt like just a number to anyone. I would do it all again. Sent from my SM-G900T using BariatricPal mobile app

Maybe not a first date but more like a third date....escape room. I flippin love escape rooms. It is a problem solving situation and it can really show a lot about how a person thinks and how they work under pressure. Sent from my SM-G900T using BariatricPal mobile app

This is the closest thing I could find to a support group. The last post talks about a group that meets quarterly. https://www.bariatricpal.com/index.php?/topic/303025-OR---Portland Sent from my SM-G900T using BariatricPal mobile app

Also wanted to add, my Dr allowed egg drop soup in the full liquid phase. That was like heaven at the time. Sent from my SM-G900T using BariatricPal mobile app

Bone broth is a great choice because it has a pretty good amount of protein. Fred Meyer and Whole foods have Pacific brand. Sent from my SM-G900T using BariatricPal mobile app
