  1. I know that feeling, had a birthday weekend and my body craved simple things after. Had 1 small piece of cake and I felt like I drank alcohol.
  2. I gained 2lbs over the weekend. But I called down and just watched myself a little more and it came off and now my stall is over.
  3. I had mine on 9/25, and I stalled for about 2 weeks, but it started up again. For head hunger I try to drink something like crystal light. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 246 GW: 190
  4. How is you water intake, not drinking enough could help cause them. When you pee, it should be a light yellow. At least that is what my nut told me 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 246 GW: 190
  5. I was a week in from starting soft foods stage and I went away for the weekend. This ment resturants and breakfast buffets at the hotel. I did great, had a thai appetizer and bbq shredded meat for dinners and got a lunch and multiple snacks out of both. Only needed a spoonful of scrambled eggs for breakfast. I guess I was very surprised how easy it was. Also found I had more energy for walking doing things. It seems it gets easier and easier each week. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 246 GW: 190
  6. I used nothing I brought, except a blanket from home. I was very tired a lot of the time and when I was up I tried to walk. Watched a lot of hgtv 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 248 GW: 190
  7. They gave me zofran, post op. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 248 GW: 190
  8. A appetizer lasts 3 meals. The water boy keeps getting rejected at your table. The waitress thinks something is wrong with the food since you are not eating it. Any others 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 248 GW: 190
  9. That is true, I can no longer stomach sweet protein drinks or some yogurts 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 250 GW: 190
  10. I noticed 4 weeks out when I started soft foods 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 252 GW: 190
  11. Found out I do not like bacon anymore. I love tuna and fish when I used to hate it. And steak tastes gamey. What tastes changes have you experienced? 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 252 GW: 190
  12. I get it too. Stopped drinking them and now put protein in my crystal light 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190
  13. Yea mine made its presence known on my first walk outside, talk about speed walking lol 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190
  14. My Doctor is very conservative with his meal plan but I finally moved on to soft foods[emoji1]. Today I had a egg for breakfast and some Halibut for dinner. The Halibut was great and I never really liked fish before. Interestingly enough I tried a bite of bacon and I no longer like the taste of it. Overal a good day 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190
  15. Glad they stayed away. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190
  16. Started in Feb 2017 was told I would most likely be sleeved in Jan 2018, however hospital was becoming out of network in Oct so was sleeved on 9/25. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190
  17. I get the same with Muscle Milk. I think it called protein bubble or something is other forums for working out. I moved to a flavorless protein that I can mix in crystal light 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190
  18. Was thinking about it for 2 years, then this past Jan I finally broke the 300 barrier and I found I needed a pillow to lay on the floor to play with my daughter. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190
  19. I think being emotional after any big trauma event for your body is normal. But there are days when grocery shopping that I get sad for a minute for no reason. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190
  20. I lived on grits when I started pureed, just start slow I was 3 weeks out when allowed bland pureed foods. Buffalo chicken puree made me pretty uncomfortable that week. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190
  21. I did this one with olive oil. Once done I mix in a little taco sauce for flavor when eating it. The broth the comes out of this is amazing as well. https://www.thespruce.com/instant-pot-refried-beans-4140600 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190

  23. Towards the end of the first week I was actually going out a Lot due to feeling trapped at home. You should have no issues sitting as long as you move at intermission. I found I moved like a older person 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190
  24. Lot of people stress eat. I would consider a nearby fire stress inducing. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190
  25. I bought some "medical grade" protein that is tasteless from GNC. I mix it in with crystal light in the Am. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190
