Amen to that!

I sent it the article to my son (T1 diabetes), but he is mostly vegetarian so not sure how easy this kind of diet would be for him, tho I know it can be done. Fortunately, insulin pumps these days do a lot of self-correcting.

Way to go, "loser"! I suspect you will be rewarded soon.

Have you tried various types of protein shakes? I hated PP before surgery, but it was the only thing I like after surgery. Sorry you are having this problem.

Hey, that protein shot is pretty cool! Is it a volume thing? I didn't get any protein for the first week -- just clear liquids, so you should be OK nutritionally so far.

So, what are you eating? Are you logging your food into an app like MyFitnessPal?

I still drink 8 ounces of PP with a cup of coffee, iced, in the morning in order to meet my protein goal. I could technically not do this, but it gives me the flexibility to have cottage cheese, lentils, etc (less dense protein sources) as my protein source for another meal. I am 8 weeks out today.

I didnt have pain at first, but at 10 days I developed sharp pain at the main incision site. It felt like there was an embedded knife, and it hurt when I moved. That pain went away after about a week, as suddenly as it came.

I looked it up. Yes, I did!!

Nurses always have the most interesting work stories in my experience!

I crossed my legs! Unintentionally, and it was comfortable! I finished my walk a few days ago, and I realized that my lower back and knee didn't hurt.

My surgeon asked me to, and my PCP also thought it was a good idea. Its been 10 years!! Its been going OK --sometimes I get flushed/anxious, and I'm not entirely sure if its the Paxil or my Synthroid is too high for my current weight, or some combination therein. I absolutely know what you mean with the crazy dreams -- I get those if I miss a dose or two!!!

@Creekimp13 Me, too -- on sleep (from losing weight in general -- no more sleep apnea), blood pressure meds (ditched them at surgery), and almost there on antidepressants (slowing transitioning because I've been taking Paxil -- sigh -- I have to go down 0.5 units every 2 weeks, currently down from 30 to 15, so another month to go).

I use the same macro ration as @FluffyChix (that puritanical little putz ) -- or at least I try get close. Its the same ratio that my RD required for the 2-week pre-op period: 20% carbs, 40% protein, 40% fat. Back then, I ate 1,200 kcals per day, now (weeks 6-12) I eat 600-800 kcals per day. I actually have no idea what happens on week 13 - ! I'll meet with the RD before then, tho.

I was thrilled when my weight got lower than my husband's, too, and now I have him by 15#s! Its funny how you feel like a hamster on a treadmill until all of a sudden those 2-3-4#s a week start adding up.

That is an interesting observation! I don't know if I prolonged my stall by drinking wine, but I cut that our and scale is moving again. What a crazy month!! Hopefully things are more smooth next month.

I didn't have specific pain right after the surgery; it came a week and a half in at the main incision site and lasted for about a week. Hurt like heck when I moved, so I stayed as still as much as possible. Hang in there.

Your students are going to be in for a shock in the fall!

I dare you to try the crickets!!

sounds good!

I'm so sorry, Matt. You've had a very bad month. Stay strong, don't borrow trouble.

Gone, thanks to hiatal hernia repair with sleeve. My acid reflux was mild -- never took anything for it and it was only a problem when I ate stuff pizza. If acid reflux is an issue for you, I'd seriously consider bypass.
