Maybe we should just fill the house with only foods we can eat- buy enough for everybody. That way everybody is on the new eating plan.

After weeks of going to the kitchen to find my healthier choices gone and the junk left that is exactly what I did. And no one has complained about the lack of junk food.

I love my Protein shakes still and I'm three months out!! :)

laura-ven - Ms. AntiBand

so........tell me when was the last time you had your head examined?? :lol:

from what i read, MOST "normal" people :lol: - including me - disliked "strongly" their Protein Shakes :(

i tolerated them while i was supposed to drink them

i do make them on occassion now cuz i'm minus Protein for the day - but i bought this large bag of frozen fruit , i put about 1/2 cup in blender with the powder and milk - tastes a little better

ok, now that i've dissed the Protein drinks - everyone else who likes them raise your hand

ok - i see one, anyone else :lol:

raising a glass of Protein shake to your health - now YOU drink it :lol:

Most people do like their Protein Shakes. They are healthy powerful drinks. Those who use them long term to maintain weight loss are not lazy!!! They are very smart and most likely will have the most success with sustained weight loss. Some of the negativity on this forum gets to me sometimes.

I cleaned out all the "bad" food and filled it with healthy stuff we could all enjoy, just be glad they are eating the healthier stuff and trying to do it with you. Just don't let them eat the last one or make it known they must fill it back up. Nothing like thinking about a granola bar all day and getting an EMPTY BOX! Grrr throw the dang box away please!!

I think Grammy is just poking at the Protein Shake container with a sharp stick, Melissa. They can be difficult to deal with when you can't have anything else. I am sitting here queasy from my eleven millionth freaking Protein shake so I am in total sympathy with her.

melisssa130

i can be silly sometimes, never meant to offend ok - still friends :)

the Protein shakes are a necessity for all of us to drink post WLS

i'm glad you like the shakes - you have no trouble drinking - that is really great!!!!

we need all the Protein we can get

I don't think i said or even implied that those who drink Protein drinks for a long time are lazy, never would be negative here (or most anywhere actually)

OMG i would never say that

i wouldn't say **** if i had a mouthful :lol:

is it ok that i say the sh... word???

oh well, if its not ok, the sleeve police will be around to bleep me out :lol:

omg - just coming back to re-read my post - and i see the sleeve police did visit :lol: :lol:

as far as my "fellow supporters/sleevers" that don't like the shakes, welllll....

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES!!!!!! :lol: :lol:

Melissa - holding up a glass of protein shake to your health, ok??? really i am ok????

friends right????? ;)

Maybe you need your own frig shelf and cupboard space that is off limits to the rest of the gang. Or buy some red yard sale stickers and mark your food with the stickers. Make it clear that when there is a red sticker, it means STOP, don't eat this it's moms. Your husband and children can learn to respect that these special foods are what you need to continue to improve your health. I love the idea of them eating healthier but still think you should be able to have what you need clearly marked or in a special area that you can count on to be there when you want/need it. Good luck!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
