I cannot for the life of me understand why people think wls is cheating or the easy way out... Also anything you thought you would finally do after surgery or at goal that no longer mattered when the time came? I thought I would be juicing daily like I used to, now I can't afford the carbs... Maybe in maintenance mode

Lol I spit water everywhere reading this!

Fair warning, you may not tolerate some flavors after surgery but at least Sam's club has a hassle free return policy...

That may be your too full sensation in which you will want to rat until right before that point Did it the feeling ever pass ?

I'll look for it once summer rolls around

Now this seems dangerously cool [emoji41] But I worry about drinking calories... I can drink way too fast with no problems

Take off as long as financially possible

Pockets on the scrub shirt one with 8 oz bottle of water (sip before you enter every room and after you exit ) The other pocket with string cheese, and a protein bar or jerky

Already? Since before surgery?

Anyone tried stevia, or splenda (both know to cause diarrhea in large doses)? When I feel backed up I add some to tea (like 6 packets) and within 3 hrs I'm completely cleared. But consult physicians first

I was notoriously cold prior to surgery, now not so much. It varies from person to person

I don't miss food nearly as much as I thought I would, I only feel a pang of longing when I'm at the movies and smell the popcorn

I got it from Walgreen's pharmacy but I have seen it in Walmart too.

Yogurt yes, Mostly Greek yogurt is recommended because of the protein count. Fro-Yo, I'm not sure when you can add that

Let us know how it goes, I'm curious

Sadly they aren't as fulfilling as peanuts and tree nuts. It's the fatty oils and size I think...

Finally came off a 2 week stall, I was 199 now 194. No rhyme or reason to my stalls at all. I don't weigh myself at home, I only trust the scales at the physicians offices.

Congrats!

What exactly is wrong?

Even at my heaviest I never had a problem flying coach, weird...

Zero complications (my surgeons were amazing ,talented and really skilled ) Losing slowly and stalling often but no lose skin at -50 lbs so I'll take it

Thanks I changed what I ate well before surgery and so the only thing I had to give up was bread and seltzer water. I don't eat junk foods but I wanted an ice-cream alternative to keep around because realistically I'm going to eat it again at some point during the summer and I wanted to try it out at home instead of outside incase I reacted weirdly to it. This one interested me because it has a higher protein amount and chicory in it (which has a fibrous laxative effect on me ) I don't eat refined sugar gave those up a year ago but I still eat raw honey, stevia, pure maple syrup, cacao, dark chocolate etc and have no plans on giving them up because this is my diet for life and my NUT has helped me worked them into my plan

That's awesome
