Thanks-you so much Viking!

Isn't it fun to try on smaller clothes and they fit? Congratulations to you all on your transformations!

I have had my current bottle for at least a month and it is still okay!

OMG No wonder it tastes just like milk smh ?

I have not had any real milk. I wasn't a big milk drinker before surgery. I now use Fairlife milk if recipes call for it, or on oatmeal, it tastes like real milk to me!

I just averaged my calories for the last six days and I average about 714 calories a day. I started at 430 on the 2nd and yesterday I got 730 calories.

I am not really sure of the size, but I have my three month follow-up next Tuesday and will ask then. I don't have a lot of sensation in my pouch, I rely on slow eating and a running nose to help me know I am full.

I find it difficult as it is just my husband I at this point and he weighs in at a whopping 135 and I usually have to make what he wants and just have the protein myself. Next month my son is moving back in with us and he will eat anything I put in front of him, in fact he could benefit from this surgery.

Lately I have been using https://cooking.mealime.com/recipes Not always something my husband would enjoy though.

I gained 15 pounds of fluid my 4 days in the hospital, it took 2 weeks to come off, it was frustrating, but once it was over, everything was fine!

I woke up from surgery to find out that I had no gallbladder and no stomach. They only left enough stomach to make a small pouch. I feel good now though.

Will you share the recipe, please?

Before:

What do you value most about yourself? I value myself as I am an empath, I can get along with anyone and see the good in people. I will create a bucket list today!

I have never had it myself, but had a friend with it after a big abdominal surgery. I would make sure to bring this up with your Dr. to ease your mind.

I have also begun to use timers! Thanks for the tips!

Welcome to the Forum! You have been through a lot! How is your back doing now? I look forward to hering about your new journey!

I would love to know your secrets for getting more water in!

My hubby and I were in traffic today and I saw someone driving with their window down and I was like, Oh yeah! So I rolled my window ? I think I am doing these out of order.

Congrats on the 100 pounds lost! That's awesome! As far as bands go I have used some in physical therapy over the years, but not enough to firm up.

Yesterday I created a new daily routine. I feel so much better with knowing that I am not going to be bored!

Breakfast today, sorry no leftovers

Oh no, I fall enough as it is! I have been falling for a couple years, when I was in for my surgery the nurses kept asking me how I got the injury to my leg, seemed like they didn't believe me. As for Vertigo, I get it a few times a year for the past 10 years. It is no fun!
