Well thank you for that. I figure honesty is the best policy, especially considering I'm so new at all this.@Shazz73 you will do just fine when you have yours. I'm glad I found this group, it has been a blessing to hear others stories and trials and tribulations. We will all get through it :-) Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm feeling pretty good otherwise, besides for feeling kind of weak I guess. You? I have also been drinking whatever I can, crystal light, snapple and taking my vitamins. I tried to eat a mozzarella stick last night, I dont know why, but I did. And it was awful pain. Felt like I needed to vomit but didnt. That was incredibly stupid and dangerous on my part. It's a rainy day here where I am so I kind of have stayed in my room away from everyone simply because I miss sitting down and eating with my family. I know that isnt yhe best way to cope with it but I figured today, that's what I'm gonna do. I am gonna look into the unflavored protein powder oct517 suggested though, it could be a start. Amazon here I come. Lol

Thank you. I'll have to look into that

My surgery was Oct 1st 2018. The first day and night were rough. The anaesthesia made me very groggy, yet the nurses were adamant on getting up and walking, when all I wanted to do was sleep. The gas was more painful then the laparoscopic incisions for me. I was in the hospital 3 days total. The hardest part being home has been to not want to eat what everyone else is. It's a mental thing I think. Like I'm not genuinely hungry, but I want to taste that spaghetti or pizza or brownies. Just for the flavor. I've also found it hard to stay hydrated enough. The protein shakes are absolutely disgusting to me and I've tried a few different brands and flavors. Any advice on anything from anyone would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking forward to changes, but am a little discouraged at the moment. Thanks for taking the time to read/listen.
