I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this, and I'm feeling terribly vulnerable...but I'm officially 4 weeks post op and down 25lbs. Until just now when I made this collaboration, I wasn't sure where the pounds came from. I can sortof see it in some areas...what do you guys think?

I personally like premier but I warm it up in the microwave (not hot, or it might clump the mix), then i mix in the protein shake mix afterwards. It ends up tasting like a hot chocolate and it's the only way I can actually tolerate protein shakes anymore, lol.

HI guys. I'm 3 months post op and I know hormones go wacko after surgery and all...but is anyone else experiencing post op holiday loneliness (or have you in the past?). I find my boyfriend half the time doesn't understand what I'm going through, though he tries, but sometimes it's overwhelming. Due to things not surgery related, I don't have family members. I wrote them off because they are terrible human beings. I have my 13 year old son and myself and a very select (VERY SELECT) handful of friends. I like the holidays but also hate them because it's a reminder of what I wish I had, but don't. Maybe I'm just hormonal...maybe I just need new friends. I don't know. I just felt like I wanted to share this with you guys because at least I know you will all understand.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this, and I'm feeling terribly vulnerable...but I'm officially 4 weeks post op and down 25lbs. Until just now when I made this collaboration, I wasn't sure where the pounds came from. I can sortof see it in some areas...what do you guys think?

Hey there guys - Yep, FINALLY things are on the mend. Haven't been back since my 2nd time. Still struggling to get 64oz of fluids in (I can do maybe 48-50 fairly regularly but thats about it). But I'm not showing signs of dehydration either so I guess that's ok. I am getting MOST of my protein in too. Finally starting in some soft foods and figuring out what my stomach will allow me to eat. I love poached eggs (can't eat a whole one yet though, close..but not the whole thing). Some meats are ok, but I'm having a hard time with chicken (but turkey lunchmeat seems ok so far). I've had to find lactose free lowfat cottage cheese cause I get an upset stomach now ( I think lactose is a thing now for me, except with cheeses ), and I've found a good protein water from Isupure that I dilute with water and tastes good and helps me get protein in. Only down 30lbs since surgery, but I feel like I'm shaping differently in places so Im trying not to look at the numbers so much. Plus, 30 lbs in a month is awesome by anyone's terms - so even if others lose more, we all lose at a different rate so it's all good I haven't weighted this weight since I was maybe 25 lol. and it's only getting better from there.
Side note though - I'm getting alot more aches and pains in my back, hip and left knee that weren't as bad before surgery. I hear that's normal though..your body/etc is shifting from losing weight I guess. So we'll see.

Omg me too, but it probably wont lol. That's what plastic surgery is for though I'm only 3 1/2 weeks post op but excited to see what the "new me" will look like 6months to a year out.

Hi Chell,
How are things? I can relate to feeling kinda discouraged when you see others who have lost more in the same time frame but I try to remind myself that everyone is different and loses at different rates. I had a huge setback because I've been back in the ER twice since surgery, each time for at least 4 days, pumped with IV fluids back to back...I learned a fun fact from that...IV fluids make you gain weight :/ I was down 21 lbs at one point by my 2 1/2 mark, but gained almost 10 of that back from my 2nd stint in the hospital, and now 3 1/2 weeks total post op I FINALLY got back to the amount I lost beforehand. Now, I'm down 23 lbs , but shoulda been more. BUT...again that's the evil scale talking, getting into my brain, and I shouldn't worry about that because what matters most is that I get this eating part down pat and learn and continue to get healthy. The weight WILL come off - it's impossible for it not to. We'll hit stalls (I think I am in one now possibly), each at different periods of time, but endgame we'll get to lower weight. Hang in there...our brains are terrible sometimes lol
