Thanks so much for the kind words.....last nite was a little scary.....i so dont want to fail...ughhh but I will get back on the wagon!! I will not fail!

wow that makes sense!

possibly...i had surgery on the Monday and my period came a whole week early on that Thursday, three days later

i was very anti-rerouting my intestines, and the whole thing with the dumping, and malabsorption of nutrients

If you haven't thrown up is it safe to assume that you aren't overeating???

This past monday, i was 5 weeks out....to me I have been losing slowly...i was 19 lbs down since surgery, 63 total including pre-op. Yesterday I weighed myself, and the scale went up .6 then today another .4 for a full pound I just finished my period so I was expecting it to go down more also this morning I had a BM, so when the scale went up i was mortified I have been keeping my caloried under 800 my Water has been at least at 72ozs my Proteins over 70 i am really getting frustrated. my doc said 3 meals a day, but my friend who was sleeved in August says i should be eating 5-6 times a day...as I read most of you say on here...do you think I should call my nutritionist, or just wait it out a few days??? Bear in mind I started solids this past weekend, do you think that is it??? ughhhh

maybe a haircut I will see how my body reacts to the weight loss. i am mostly excited about the clothes and maybe my skin...microdermabrasion or something

I guess I have to learn the difference between snacking, and grazing.....lol

Funny u should post this today...but I am usually fine...today i got so nauseous after taking my vites...my bff suggested taking them at bedtime....i am gonna try that

Yeah we are lol I was losing my mind, so hopefully bumping up the calories will help.

So I spoke to my Nut and she thinks I am eating too little. I should be closer to 1000 cals...and she said I can incorporate Snacks....so here goes nothing....thanks guys You guys keep me sane

woohoo!

I got it from this website http://bariatricfoodie.blogspot.com/ which I cant access at work because it's blocked she has lots of cool recipes. Just search for salmon and it'll come right up!

For example yesterday I ate the following; Breakfast-A salmon salad with cottage cheese I found on a bariatric food blog-3 ozs=31 g of Protein lunch-3 turkey meatballs with a little sauce sprinkled a 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese on top-25 g of protein dinner-black bean chipotle veggie burger(2.5ozs) w/ a slice of pepper jack cheese on top and a side of a babybel light- 16 g of protein That was 72 g of protein/26g of carbs/683 cals I also had 72 ozs of Water yesterday...

Thanks Renee I think I will start incorporating Snacks...but I will call my nutritionist first (nervous nelly voice) lol

before you know it this will all be a distant memory...its funny just yesterday I was thinking wow only 2 weeks ago, I still had pain...now i have none. I feel 100% better. I can drink almost normal again..not quite, but MUCH better. you will make it through. NO WORRIES

That truly made me laugh.. Thanks

Prior to this week I wasn't really tracking my carbs...since Friday, I have made an effort to keep them below 40g. I cant exercise until 6 wks, so that is next week. I am so afraid to up my calories omg but I may try. Do you guys agree that I should incorporate Snacks in between to increase the calories, because i am pretty full with my meals now. I know this is a lot of experimentation and trial and error I just dont want to fail

U look great!! Congrats
