Mine is going to be straws! I drink everything with a straw. So good bye to my camel backs.

Wine! I know that makes me sound like a total lush, but it's been really tough, especially with warmer weather coming. My husband is a wine maker so it's kind of a big part of our life, and I know I'll be able to have it again, but for me it's been harder than any food I've given up.

I also really hate not being able to drink Water after I eat. That's been a strange transition, too.

BTW- I'm 11 weeks and I've used straws occasionally. But not until I was like a month out

I have such a nice wine collection. :( But I'm hauling it back to my friends back home. At least someone will drink it up.

I never gave up my straws!! I have never had a problem with gas, so I told them it just wasn't a concession I needed to make. They said as long as I'm getting all my Water, and I'm not having trouble with air, I was good to keep my straws!!

I have sensitive teeth so that's why i use straws in mostly all drinks. I've given up dt Pepsi before so i can do that easily again. I told my husband just be prepared to see different things in the refreshment fridge, also he drinks coke products and i can't stand them so soda is going to be no problem for me.

Popcorn and soda

I love popcorn but it does not reciprocate. My daughter is having me put a list of no no's on the fridge so she can keep a eagle eye on me.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
