I think you misunderstood.... We weren't talking about eating it.

It's coming up and I was referring to what I will miss most about the thanksgiving feast. Trust me... I am not a huge fan of traditional holiday feasts, so those aren't even triggers for me.

It's so hard to know what ppl are really trying to say when they are posting.

Sorry I didn't think you were going to I didn't misunderstand you. My intent wasn't to offend you some other people were talking about it like it was a trigger for them.

I was just strategizing since it's one of those days WLS patients should plan for. So in your own words it's hard to know what people are saying when they post as it's clear what I was saying was lost.

[angelicHG7 118]

Oh no.... That is so wrong that they are trying to dictate exactly what you do to your body. I can't even imagine that struggle. My insurance Co. held things up for me because my surgeon stated that I might have a possible hiatal hernia to repair (which I did) but he had to take that off the paperwork before they would approve me.

I meant Water all by itself. I have been drinking crystal light easily even in the hospital. I can drink all my listed drinks with no problem except for water.

[Shauna29 47]

Oh okay, well I can't drink plain Water at all either I have to add crystal light. I have a hiatal hernia as well and he said he'll repair that during surgery so I'm just praying everything goes well with me.

Sorry I didn't think you were going to I didn't misunderstand you. My intent wasn't to offend you some other people were talking about it like it was a trigger for them.

I didn't take offense.... It's all good.

[angelicHG7 118]

It will Shauna.... Just be confident and do what your surgeon says.

Most of us have had some really good luck.

Hi , How's everyone doing? I miss you guys I'm doing okay I just came from my surgeons office I should be having surgery before this month Is out I'll keep you guys posted.

That is awesome news! So glad to hear you'll be on the losers bench soon (:

[bebeandkoko 34]

How are you guys doing with Protein? For the life of me, I haven't been able to get in even half of my daily protein goal.

I'm not doing too hot with fluids either but my surgeon assured me as long as my urine stays clear, I'm fine.

Hope everyone is doing well!

[Shauna29 47]

Hey BebeandKoko ...yea about time Im still on liquids, Im dying over here lol.

[angelicHG7 118]

I usually drink a 35g can Protein Shake in the morning and at lunch I eat Soup and add 30g of GENEPRO Protein. I also sip on hot tea and crystal lite throughout the day and at some point I will have iced tea. I eat Greek yogurt which gives me about 12g protein and if I want a coffee treat I do Decaf coffee mixed with chocolate mocha protein 25g... But not everyday.

I manage to get at least 60g of protein in everyday ... Sometimes more. Drinking is very easy for me but the Soups, pudding and yogurts fill me up quickly.

I have no clue if I am getting 64 ounces of what is considered liquids but I know I am not drinking enough plain Water.

It's morning and that's more than half the days worth.

Where did you find that? How much?

[mightyschratt 30]

$56 for 12 at Walmart! Yikes!

How's the taste?

[mightyschratt 30]

Gevalia Decaf coffee plus Special K vanilla Cappuccino equals a pretty darn good combination!
