Chickpea salad on rye crisp

Does it really work? I may give it a shot...

Thanks! How did you work out your schedule? Alarms every half hour or so? Yes, every 30 mins 4 oz of water or whatever was recommended out of the hospital, I don't remember if I ever quite achieved goals that early out but I sure tried!

You can try setting alarms for each. I had a strict watering schedule immediately after surgery. CONGRATS Safe journey

I do, not necessarily plain water but type of water. Low quality water I cannot tolerate. The more mineral enhanced, foreign, alkaline, etc. the better for me. No clue why. I jokingly said that I have a celebrity sleeve. Lol. Try different types of waters.

Take it it easy, this is major surgery (IDC who calls it elective, let me see them in a dark alley...) walk a little at a time, even standing is better than sitting, the focus IMHO should be on recovery not necessarily exercises just yet, the walking helps to ensure no blood clots form which no one wants. I was not a fast healer either, doing marathons 3 days post op ,don't let that be your goal because others can. Recover at your rate. !!!!Congrats!!!! Safe Journey

At 9 months post op, I drink normally , I drink coffee or other hot drinks at the rate I did prior to surgery. Sometimes I take a little bit longer because I add protein shake to the coffee or tea and it takes longer to drink for me vs with regular cream.

I heard a rumor that GNC has a protein powder that tastes like Fruity Peebles, either one of the Ghost brand blends or another proprietary brand,it was even a sample size! I saw it when I was there last chatting with the rep at the counter. My point is find a way to make this work and don't eat that evil @$$ cereal. Hope this helps!

Don't forget we need an updated Daria profile pic lol

Trying this soon!

Trying this soon!

There is almost nothing in common on most plans except protein and hydration being top tier in importance...

Good to know, and CONGRATS on all of the recoveries!!!!!!!!!

Your team may need to submit for reapproval. Maybe not. I cant remember for absolute certain but i had to sign a clause that allowed my surgeon to convert from laproscopic to traditional open surgery, from VSG to RNY during surgery in the event the need occurred. Not the same for you but there may be allowance is my point. But it really does depend on practice, insurance policy and the specifics of what they cover. Usually RNY is no problem to cover and VSG was always an issue as it was a newer procedure. Ask right away to avoid further delays!!!

All I read was David Tennant, but I think you're going to be OK.

This is odd, carbs are in *almost* everything (except pure animal meat sources, pure vegetable fat sources) What are you consuming daily? Can you give examples of your diet?

A little change is always good 😝

Ok well we will see because I will be SUPER honest with y'all when the time comes, so...

Looks so juicy

Hahahahahahaha I was so happy when I finally found out how I didn't even stop and think how it would look to everyone else 😖

BTW, GasX will be your friend when consuming large amounts of legumes lol and air freshener

Lol I might as well as across the universe...
