You probably can’t have eggs because you can hardly tolerate Protein shakes.. makes sense hun. I would wait until your body can allow food intake. Hang in there .

the only thing that keep my mind off eating was doing other things i love i love movies so i seen every movie you can think of. and with my liquid diet i did do a lot of broth base Soups Panara was my friend.

I'm SO EXCITED about my surgery on Tuesday (9/26/17). I have been over weight my whole life and it took me to turn 40 yrs old to realize I wanna LIVE! and I mean REALLY live..not closed up behind doors hiding from the world.. I've started my NEW Journey of healthy living and I can't wait to continue..

So, be careful. This is actually why they tell people who have had the surgery to not drink at all. First, too much sugar in it. Second, we can easily transfer our food addiction on to alcohol, which has bigger risks. We just trade one addiction for another. My surgeon, other surgeons that I know of personally who do this surgery, the NUTs, everyone involved say please do not drink. Anymore. From now on.
Now, most of us do and are fine but it is VERY common for people who have had this surgery to become alcoholics. It is just a risk that we have and it happens a lot.
To me, it is bad enough to be addicted to food but the other addictions really really scare me.
Take care and whatever you decide, we are rooting for you.

hahaha.... that's funny. for the first 2 weeks after my surgery, i kept having head hunger for fried chicken too. nothing else. JUST fried chicken.
it eventually went away and hasn't come back.
and you're right about the dark meat. f**k that white meat s**t.

It is common for your taste buds to change after surgery. Be willing to experiment. After surgery, my taste buds changed dramatically. Even Water changed. In the hospital it tasted excessively chlorinated and I could not drink it. So I experimented. sugar free popsicles became my best friend. Some individuals find hot or cold can help with fluids. For me, I found that I could tolerate flavored water. So I began using Crystal Light. I also found a new drink "Bai" which I liked cold. In the winter, I found that I tolerate Hot Drinks such as piping hot cocoa. But you have to use the "No Sugar Added" variety. Also fine English teas were very good.
The Fluid requirement is met by a combination. It is not only the water that you drink each day. But also the water you drink when you take your Vitamins and medicine. It is the milk you drink. It is the fluids content of the Protein Shakes. It is the water component of the Soups you take. It is met by flavored water such as Crystal Light. It is met by sugar free popsicles. It is met by tea and Decaf coffee. It is a combination of all the fluids that you consume during the day.
The bad taste in your mouth may be because your body is in ketosis. Ketosis is a normal metabolic process. When the body does not have enough glucose for energy, it burns stored fats instead; this results in a build-up of acids called ketones within the body.

then don't go so long between meals!

buyer's regret. interesting...
i self paid for my surgery. $23,000ish. which is a truly unfair price that they charged me...
... because i would have paid $100,000.

Yes lip balm is a must. And some moisturizer

Had surgery 9/12/17, released on 9/14 in the evening. Next morning, my bf asks me how long we should or have to wait. I said, "actually...asap!" Lol We had no problems at all

For women, we store estrogen in our fat. So as we lose weight, we are flooded with hormones. Yes, you will get your libido back, in spades.

I'd start a new thread on this to get more answers. Mine has increased because I feel better both physically and emotionally.
