Caffeine
Good for you! I had a killer headache for a couple of days. I gave it up and haven’t gone back even after surgery. I just feel better! Decaf teas if I feel the need for a hot drink :)

I don’t want to be “that guy”
Definitely can be hormones. Don’t make any decision for a few months and see where you are then. Everything at your stage is up on end emotionally for a while Good luck

Feeling emotional
It gets better around week 3! Try hot water or decaf teas... it helped me when I had that type of pain drinking. (Or alkaline water). I’m at 7 months and had zero pain after month 1 with fluids Good luck!

How do I eat healthy when my family doesn't?
I’ve been ok so far just not paying it any mind when others eat less healthy food. The way I figure it, we can’t eat a whole lot anyway so why waste it on a bite or two of something that is going to be less filling. I kind of take pride in the fact that no matter what anyone else is eating I am eating a high-protein meal . However, I do like the idea of keeping your food separate… Or having them keep their food separate so you’re not even going into that cabinet or section of the refrigerator

Annoyed by doctors office staff
Mine took a week before scheduling once it went to insurance. Definitely take at least 2-3 weeks before returning . I took a week and a half off (not including weekends) and was fine.... just no heavy lifting Good luck with your date!!

Constipation help
I’m jumping on the smooth move tea vote... give it a few hours after drinking. Definitely not an issue after that. Make sure you’re home - gives me stomach cramps for about 15 min

Upset about weight loss, not sure what to do
Hang in there. Definitely kick up your exercise as Matt suggested. I also wonder about the 3 shakes- is this something your Dr recommended? Maybe you’re eating too few calories at 3 months out? I’d ask your nutritionist to be sure Good luck and hang in there

Quick Lunch/Food Question Regarding Ounces
Volume and weight differ so be careful of each . I would suggest only eating what your stomach tells you and slowly. Give time for your brain to catch up to your stomach to feel full. Feel better !
