What If I Fail? 8 Days Out And Feeling A Little Blue.



Recommended Posts

I am LOVING the Wylers brand sugar free sleeves but my fav kind is "cherry limeade." Of all places, I found it at Family Dollar as I went on a wild goose chase for those crystal light mocktini's that I read on another thread. They didn't have them there, but thank God I tried this kind - and I LOVE IT. I'm up to 14 glasses of Water most days (and I hate Water in all honesty).

Hang in there girl - it gets easier in time. It's very frustrating in the beginning. And most Protein powders, to me, taste like a monkey's butt. Sorry... I know you have to have them in the beginning, but....

I did like the power pak pudidngs at GNC/Vitamin Shoppe, but in chocolate. Vit Shoppe has a refrig section where you can try before you buy and save your receipts and you can bring back w/in so many days (even opened containers).

i saw the appletini and peach bellini ones at cvs or walgreens, i think it was walgreens!!!

I'm not liking the milk Protein right now and the Isopure is nasty, it makes my mouth dry. I'm thinking of the shots. I can't remember what my nutritionist said about the shots...but either way its got to be better than no protein at all until i start mushies next week!

For me, the shots made me literally WRETCH, as did Isopuke (sorry to those that like it). Try Cytosport's whey isolate RTD drinks that they sell at Vitamin shoppe... I loved Tangerine and Tropical. They have them in the refrig section too!

I REALLY hate most Protein drinks. I just spent $2.99 on Oh, Yeah drink. I could barely choke down half of it. Either people get paid to write reviews about these drinks or my tastes are WAY off. I had my daughter and hubby taste it and they agreed it is the worst one yet for having the nasty aftertaste. I have better luck buying Hood Carb Countdown dairy drink and mixing the unjury unflavored in it. If you have not ordered Unjury, it is very good. I have only tried unflavored and the chicken Soup but they are drinkable without the artificial sweet nasty aftertaste.

I get mushy foods next week and I am so thankful for the chance to have some different tastes to look forward to!

I hated every Protein Drink I tried! Nutmeg state nutrition sells gels that mix with Water and taste like juices. They have 15mg of Protein each and they saved me! They're nothing like a shake or milk so I loved them!

I am 13 days Post Op, I have been drinking Premier chocolate 11 oz 30 grams

Protein. This seems to be pretty easy for me to get 80 g a day. My solution to

the scale was to TRASH IT and wait for the Docs weigh ins.

Stay positive it will work!!!!!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
