hmmm I never thought about any of the pain I had being related to the hernia repair. I just chalked all that pain up to the gas but it did last about 10 days for me.

Funny that I now too crave things I have never eaten before LOL

Mourning is the perfect word! I did have to grieve for some of my faves I know I can no longer indulge in. Mainly bread and pastas!

the caramel is really good too!

find a bariatric support group, ask your doctor to point you in the right direction. some folks here still see a nutrition therapist too. the fact that you know it is in your head is great! that is half the issue. good luck!

Tyr "better than bullion" in the baked chicken flavor. it is really good.

So how did it go?

Good for you! this is great.

I was on full liquids thru day 21, then to purees but I could have yogurt, no fruit, and of course the jello UGH

my experience has been way different from most of the posts I read here, mostly because of my surgeons approach to pain management, diet, and follow-up. I had a pain pump for 4 days, this alleviated all but the soreness in getting in and out of bed. I have had no nausea, sliming or vomiting, except once when I overate. I have lost 50lbs post op. I am 4 months out. please don't be discouraged. we all have our stresses and issues.

Probably "head hungry" rather than actually hungry. I am nearly 4 months out and have yet to feel truly hungry.

SO obviously you did not read the post. Bye Felicia

yep I hit the wall at 4 weeks! the next week I dropped 5lbs! hang in there

much love to you! I agree get your records and move on from RUDE surgeon. Good luck and keep us posted.

Glad to hear you are doing well! Once the gas pains subside you will fell so much better! took mine about 10 days

Nice! I bought a pair of jeans 5 weeks ago and now I cant keep them up. back to the consignment shop they go for the next person lol

mine encourages below 50g a day

mostly around 700-800 calories a day

yeah I am a tracker slacker. I need to get back to it.

Love that blouse!

Send me your 22's! lol I am down from a 28-30 to 22-24! Way to go!

Good luck! Mine was very quick and easy, I had no complications. I slept pretty much the whole day. SIP the water.

I did rotisserie chicken in my early soft food stage.

Steve you look amazing!

I think we all did a little cheating along the way. I am sure one slip did not hurt your chances that much but you really gotta commit to this change to be successful! good luck to you!
