Nothing today, I am not hungry and I feel if I eat, I will PB. I'm going to the kitchen right now to try and get down a shake. :speechles

I think I'm not hungry b/c I have drank over a half a gallon of Water today for the first time in a long time and it's only 5:06PM EST. :rolleyes

TMI: The water is passing right through me. I'm in the bathroom, literally every 5 - 10 minutes.

Not good right...that I can't make myself drink shakes today? (Still Post op 2 weeks). Am I doing more harm than good?

I'll just pretend that today was purification and detox day if the shake starts to taste gross and I can't finish.

If you're not hungry, you're not hungry. I had days like that 2-3 weeks post op. If you can though, try to get a shake down so that you have some Protein today.

Does anyone else count fiber? I am having trouble getting in 25 grams of fiber per day. Any suggestions?

Have you tried Fiber Choice Orange Fiber Drops? Two drops contain 8 grams of fiber. They taste like orange hard candy.< /p>

I'm usually fine with these foods. I think I was just a bit over-zealous after my fill on Tuesday.

Today wasn't a good day. I'm extremely restricted and felt the golfball feeling even after a few drinks of protein shake or Water. I'm hoping that it's due to the PB yesterday and that tomorrow will be another day. If not, it's back to the doctor for a slight unfill.
