I am 15 days out and you can have avocados. If you make guacamole, I would use half am avacado and mix with Greek yogurt, pico, And a little garlic powder and Cheyenne pepper. Use a blender to purée consistency. You might mix Protein Powder with refried Beans and season. Dallas of this guacamole with it. Fill you up quick and Protein in everything (: hope that helps

Wow way to go Jaci and Kenny! Great job! I have lost 55 lbs now this yr. It's tough going somedays I fight the food demon on a daily basis :(. I am losing way slower then I wanted. But other things are great I have way more energy! I coach my 5 yr olds soccer team and assist on my 9 yr olds baseball team! I was up on the roof painting my siding this weekend! I am going on a weekend camp out with Scouts Canada this June. Last year I would not have moved of my lawn chair! This to me is huge! I went from a 22 to a comfortable 16. Keep up the great work everyone!

Major pain tonight, out if nowhere. I buckled over for a good 30 min shrieking and unable to move. Pain felt like pouch was enflamed. I dry heaved for a while. Tried to use the bathroom. I was tempted to go to ER, even wondered if it's appendix but then It finally eased - but isn't gone.

Anyone ever had or heard of this?

When did you last eat. It could be dumping syndrome, I had similar pain about an hour after I ate and thought I was having a heart attack. It eased up after about an hour but I felt miserable for several hours. I ate too much or too fast.

I'm wondering if that's what happened. I eventually got sick last night and once food was up the pain went away. I have been eating a couple of crackers just before this happened, I was cleaning the kitchen so I was eating mindlessly. Perhaps I wasn't chewing enough, maybe I just shouldn't eat crackers - even just a couple.

That pain was insane, it started I could feel my pouch then it spread to the center of my abdomen and around my back. But once crackers came up - it was gone. I learned my lesson. I shouldn't be eating crackers anyway, i'm 10 lbs from my goal, so I allow myself a treat once in awhile.

Thank you for the reply, it helped me get through

I am having a hard time staying under 1000 calories and anything I eat no longer seems to fill me up. After I eat I feel hungry again like an hour later. Anyone know what I should do or what foods do you all eat that fills you?

So, I havent been on here in a while, but I am doing great. 90 pounds lost, from a size 22-24 to a 14-16. Have had a ton of complications, the most recent one is from me fainting. I am now going to follow up with a cardiologist to see why my blood pressure keeps dropping. I am eating about 1000 calories a day and 70-80 grams of Protein and 72 ounces of Water. I am back to working part time and have had no problems adjusting. I hope everyone is well!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
