I'm not even worried about location. I'd just like to have somebody to talk to about the whole process and future. Are you post or pre?

Wow, that's amazing. I'm so happy for you. I haven't weighed yet but I think it's probably because I'm still healing that that is my main focus.

Hi. I am 4 days out and live in Forest City, NC. We are so close to each other. I had bypass on April 20th. Would love to be support buddies! I am 48 and work in the school system with special needs kids in a local Middle School. I have been married for 29 years and have 2 children. One living and one in heaven already. Look forward to hearing back from you!

Hello, I'm 32 years old and live in Arkansas. I had surgery for RNY on the 20th. I've lost 14 pounds since I've been home as of the 21st. I'm really struggling to get in enough fluids especially the Protein. I feel weak. I'm sure everyone does. It just adds extra stress thinking about it though. I'm SOOOO over this liquid diet!

The Protein Shake diet is terrible but it gets a great deal better once you can try pureed foods. Just try to think of the Protein shake phase as taking medicine. Just have to get it down so you can feel better. You won't really enjoy the taste of food again until puree but you can definitely do it. It sucks but you did the surgery for a reason and this is the hardest part (at least to me so far it was). I'm 18 days post op as of today and things are looking up.

I tried something this morning and it has helped me get down my Protein this morning. I have been chewing (very carefully) on sugar free mint trident. I have had an absolute horrid taste in my mouth. So anyways, I chewed a piece for about 5 minutes to get the taste out of my mouth. Well, the mint seems to be soothing to me anyways. (Could be mind over matter). I decided I was going to force myself to at least get these first 8 ounces of chocolate powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury down. I put my piece of mint gum above where I drink from my shaker. So before I drink I smell the mint, not the Protein shake. Besides the fact it gives it a mint chocolate chip sensation. I've with ease got the Fluid down since I last posted this morning. Just thought I'd share with yall! :)

Have you tried mixing in your blender the protein however you've been mixing it a little ice and fresh mint?

No I havent. They warned me away from the blender for the first little whike, saying it would make the shakes frothy. But I do like the mint idea. Thank you!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
