Okay, I see all these posts where people freak out because they ate something they shouldn't have. Yes, we are supposed to eat ALOT of Protein, which I do. And, we're supposed to drink lots of Water, which I try to do, we're not supposed to drink out of a straw, which I do, I haven't died or had any more pain than not, we're not supposed to eat bread, which I have a couple of times, it hasn't made me sick, if I have a craving for a cookie, I eat it. The bottom line is even if you slip and eat a little of something you're not supposed to , it's not going to ruin your life or end your results. The truth is you will never be able to sit and eat a whole bag of doritoes or a whole package of oreos again. You're stomach will not allow it. So don't freak out because you "slipped" a little, just realize you're human and you're losing weight no matter what.

Now for all you haters out there go ahead and blow me out of the water with your drama, I know it's coming. ........lol

It is logical that we would be more prone to feeling cold after losing fat. It is certainly the case for me. I moved to Florida so I haven't tested it out to the max yet. Polar bears have great layer of fat as one of the ways to survive the brutal arctic weather.

I can remember as a skinny boy in Iowa being miserably cold and as a fat adult hardly needing a coat ...all winter... in Ohio.

The whole straw thing cracks me up. I was given straws in the hospital and still use them. It is in my surgeon's manual that they are fine to use. And yet straws just set some folks off lol. Since day one I've been getting in at least 64 oz (some days closer up 120). My surgeon is thrilled with my progress and so am I.

I too am scared I have 0 control over certain sweets, and chips. I can't stop at just one true I can't eat very much its knowing its there waiting. I have lost a total of 69 lbs, post op I am now under 200 lbs, for the first time in 30 yrs. We just have to encourage each other and contiue our new journey.

I am happy that you can use a straw, but my Dr. told me no straws, and no carbinated water. It may be that our Drs. are in different areas in the country. My Dr., is in Tyler, Texas. Gmanbat it doesnt get super cold here in Lufkin, Texas the coldest its gotten so far is29 degrees. We have a lot of humidity here, so its a damp cold.

I follow what my surgeon and NUT tell me to do. I figure there's a reason that they have doctorates and I do not.

Ok... that was so totally random lol!

So true. I'm FREEZING ALL THE TIME NOW! I moved to Georgia from Ohio 4 years ago. Now my heat is constantly set to 73+.

I'm not trying to cause any drama, if I came off sounding like I was I apoligize to everyone because that was'nt the case. I was just saying that Dr.'s in different places have different protacals that they go by.

I know it's crazy my family tells me I must be sick because I used to freeze everyone . Does anyone have trouble eating ground meat, steak, pirk chops?
