i am amazed at how much money I am saving by not eating out!

Does anyone else watch this show when they are feeling down or weak?

What are you struggling with? I'm 9 days post op and I will tell you the first four were hell for me. I was depressed, regretful, and just miserable. I couldn't get the Protein down because no it made me gag, I just wanted a cheeseburger and to cry! I started using GENEPRO and by day 6 I felt human again. At one week I got on the scale and had lost 20 lbs! It does get better, let me know if you need someone to talk to. 😊

I had my sleeve on 3/16 and I feel useless. I feel like all I have done is sit around the house since the surgery. I get out and walk and have actually cooked a couple meals for my family, but I feel lost. I have a weird sick feeling in my stomach. I'm trying so hard to be positive, but it's just not happening right now.

I had surgery last Thursday and I'm able to drink quite a bit. If I do t sip, I get a lot of gas and burp a lot.

Be careful, if your multivitamin has Iron and you are taking a stand alone iron supplement, you can run into some bowel issues. ☺

In addition - during the "soft" phase make sure you make whatever Protein you're consuming as mushy as possible. For instance - if you try salmon again it must be mixed with a liquid to change the consistency. So, if you like low-fat Italian dressing or balsamic vinaigrette use a tbsp of that to mush your protein so it is sleeve friendly. Good luck!

Yay!!! For you! I will keep the apple sauce in mind, I am enjoying a hot tea with Splenda now that my pain has subsided.

We have all had this happen to us in the beginning making the wrong choices is a part of the process to find out what your body will allow you to eat.

thank you all, your encouragement is what I needed this evening. I have cried the last three evenings, I know this is a step in the right direction, I just need to toughen up.
