Well, its 4 days post op and I have to admit I had a pretty good experience with surgery. Not much pain other than gas discomfort and I went kinda crazy the second day in the hospital and couldn't get comfortable but on today I had a sort of emotional break down. Please see the attached link...

I guess so do you have any suggestions

Omg! I had exactly the same reaction on day 5. I had surgery on 8/3/15 Monday and I am so sick of protein drinks! I finally went and bought Isopure protein powder. Plain no taste. I don't want anymore drinks. I added powder to pudding, yogurt, and soup. It's actually pretty okay. Good luck. Finally down 1 pound from pre-surgery weight.

Does the powder make your food chalky?

@@ShareeB, first off you are gorgeous and congratulations on taking this step!

Secondly, thank you for sharing your story. I am a newbie here and am still pre-op ( just receiving authorization approval today) and I appreciate knowing your post-op experience so I can know what to potentially expect from mine. Although everyone is different, and has a different amazing story to tell, it has been pretty common to read that most people experience this same exact realization that you've come to, so you are not alone! It is so hard to train our minds to not eat what we used to eat, or eat the amounts that we used to eat. Definitely something I've been trying to work on myself.

I'm on the liquid diet right now and all I want is a stinking french fry from McDonald's!! lol

You're a rockstar and I hope you know that! I wish you nothing but the best and look forward to seeing your progress; I know you'll be successful!

You are exceptionally sweet! I pray your surgery is a success. Can I tell you the other day I was like if I can eat mashed potatoes, why can't I just get some fries and mash them up. Lol Obviously ignoring the fact they are fried. Needless to say I had to enjoy it in my mind because I am seriously afraid of dumping. The thought makes me feel ill. I hate feeling nauseated and sick. But thank you for your reply it made me smile during a rough day!! ☺️

@@ShareeB You are more than welcome! The journey to surgery and the journey after surgery is hard, but in the end it is WORTH EVERY MINUTE! When you are healthier than you've ever been and can fit into jeans you haven't worn since high school, you will look back on these hard days and see how much you kicked their butt! You're stronger than you think you are so just keep your head up and keep pushin!! <3

P.S. Thanks for bursting my bubble on the french fry thing - I really thought I had a trick up my sleeve into mashing them up into "mashed potatoes" lol

I guess so do you have any suggestions

I need to know what you are doing now.. in my stall I added another 100 calories and cut my exercise to every other day! Sounds crazy but it worked!!
