im scared to even try!

wait so never ever ever again will we be able to eat & drink again? never?

yay!!!! i just cant imagine doing a crazy hard workout & then only being able to just sip forever!! :/ also, will we ever be able to drink & eat at the sametime?

inside? oh thats weird! could it be ur period?

maybe the weather? i know sometimes the weather made my gall bladder incisions would hurt. did you scratch it? is it red?

im a 23yr old rican chick! i can relate a lot to your story but one part stuck out to me... you said you are 5'4 and earlier this year, your weight was 197. that leaves you at a BMI of 34. now your next step is to find out what your insurance requirements are because some insurances require 2-5yrs of weight history. if they do request that, you will not qualify & will strugglewith appeals to be approved. mine required 2yrs but i provided 6yrs. i am 5 days post-op.

lol well our moods are equally bad! the only time i get frustrated is when my aunt asks me have i tried to eat yet? now... she doesnt know i had WLS but i told her that i had a hernia repaired & that i am on a liquid diet because of it. now WHY THE HELL ARE YOU ASKING IF IM TRYING TO EAT???? smh! my mom said well she doesnt know u had WLS. so what? i bet she doesnt know WLS patients cant eat food right away so whats the difference if i say its a hernia? ive reminded her atleast 6x but she still asks. makes me want to go nuts!!!! >

lissa, u r so right but once it starts, theres no stopping it! it just sucks badly but i guess we have to deal with what is handed to us. i cant wait til the pain goes away so i could start doing things to keep me focused.

i am so sorry about your loss! i have those isopure drinks & they just gross me out!!!! ughhhh the thought makes me want to throw up

i feel the same exact way about my past relationship. i mean, it had love & affection when i provided it but none from him unless i forced it out. as far as having a sister & mom, thats great! i think i may be adopted because my family is not affectionate whatsoever! im the opposite. i have a sibling who lives in florida (im in ny) & he called me yesterday for a conversation that lasted 1minute (NO EXAGGERATION) & he asked how i was feeling & i said im in pain & his reaction was, "well you chose to do this so now deal with it." i stood quiet. it hurt my feelings that he had nothing comforting to say to me. when i told my mom, she laughed & said shes sure he didnt mean it. i stood quiet then too!

21yrs.. wow! i fear for you as far as support goes. its really needed. you need someone there letting you know they have your back. well atleast, i know i do. i am very grateful for my mom but shes more reserved. im not asking to be babied. im asking for convo.. keep my mind going. im alone too much & it gives me time to think & thinking can be dangerous!!! other than that, im fine!

aw! i have a butterfly tattooed on my lower back. it represents growth. i think the holidays have a part to do with my down mood. this christmas was the worst ever. dealing with a 9.5yr break up.. not having that "love & affection" that youre so used to & want so bad during surgery is hard. a lot of my "friends" try to give me tough love and i guess i appreciate it but right now, im so vulnerable with everything that tough love isnt what i neeed. i need a hug, i need a physical encounter. not sexual or anything but like a hug.. or to talk face to face. thats what i need right now. i miss it.

awww kathy u r such a sweet heart! <3 i do feel guilty because they all have their own things going on & i feel uncomfortable asking them to listen to me whine.

merry christmas to you all!

i feel selfish requesting time from people! :/

i do but surgery has intesified it for sure.

the gas pains actually stop? i dont know why but i thought they would be there forever. lol. i honestly wish i had aremote so i could fast fwd until february! i just want to feel normal again

thats how i feel about the shakes!!!!!! omg, the thought of it just makes me want to throw up cuz i absolutely DO NOT want it!!!

1.5 weeks? wow! i hope mine speeds up!!! i have to say that its getting better! its hurting less but still hurting! lol. i wish i could fast fwd about 2-8weeks!! lol

thank you so much

i cant do the smell or taste. thats the thing that kills me. i rather starve to death than ever smell it. lol. omg i just gagged thinking about it. i just cant!!! i cant. my stomach feelsweak. u know how some ppl smell throw up & start throwing up too? thats how i feel about protein!

aw!!! thanks! the pain isnt too bad today! i guess that means its getting better. i have not taken any pain meds today. im dealing with it all on my own. i have unjury & chicken unjury. i havent tried them in huge fear that ill throw it all up! how did u do the Jello Protein?

at this point, i dont care about the weight loss! i mainly just want to get rid of the pain. i dont manage pain very well so itshard. once the pain is gone, ill worry about the lost! lol. im on clear liquids so im only sipping Water. i need to start getting Protein in but itsso hard. the taste or even the thought makes me want to throw up!!!!!!! i dont know its hard. i bought some muscle milk to taste. lets see how that goes

ive tried several Protein drinks in the past. my last one i tried is Isopure already made. i took 1 sip & had amazing gas pains & became nauseous! i threw up earlier because of an antibiotic pill i was prescribed (i always get sick from them). so.. what do i do? i havent had any protein & i dont want to become malnurished. i have powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury but have yet to taste it. i will after my tummy settles... did anyone go through their liquid stage with no protein? what are your favorite shakes? what are the worst shakes?
