nope, mine was right on time....i guess all of use all different.

i agree with sojo on this one. my surgeon advised me 70+ grams per day. i start my day off with a Protein shake and ff milk (about 35 grams protein) as i am not hungry in the morning. but the rest of the day, i am eating lean protein to make sure i reach my goals and then some. (its our fuel for our bodies). but each person and each dr is different so you will get varied responses. always refer to your dr to make sure your numbers/requirements that you need.

chiming in maddysgrams, congrats on your final visit yesterday

if you (dont want to hear them) then dont tell them. some tell only a couple people, some like me tell just about everyone i know. basically as my friend rojo says, its your decision. this is about you making yourself well. what is that saying a about assholes, everyone has one (same with opinions). i wish you all the luck in the world. stay on this forum for support. i am sure glad i did

mine lasted for about 5 days......some say use gas x or heating pads. i moved my shoulders around and took meds to help with the pain......i hope it sure does get better for you. i promise it will. all the best and hang in there and congrats on your surgery

hope everyone is safe there in LA/MS/AL.

i prefer to drink ff milk and my protein shake for 35 grams..........i personally do not like the (shots) but i have them in the fridge.

hey foxy whats done is done pick yourself up and lets get this done. the majority of us here had to do a pre diet sure its hard but its done for a reason..i had to shrink my liver also. this time around, focus and stay positive. the people on this forum is awesome and they will help you every step of the way (including me) tomorrow is your day, you got this (if you want it) :wub:

hey cpv this is a great site with great people (me included haha) who will help, encourage and be there for you. congrats on your surgery and hello again

i guess whomever answers will tell you what their dr suggests..........mine says 70+ is ideal so that is what i strive for.

dont make me put you in corner...........

We are all worth it. I think that very thought as i past people in my office building..or see people the office where i work. or when i go somewhere with the old man.....always comparing....always thinking i am not good enough or worthy.......but you are correct......we are worth it....... so wipe the mascara and rub off the goose bumps and lets put on our I am strong, I am woman tshirts and rock this out.

well done miriam...YOU go girl. in my opinion, baby food is for babies......eat adult food (my vitamixer was a life saver)...tuna/chicken/chunky soups/refried Beans........ love the positive attitude and your profile picture Gorgeous

my lord, let me get on my flying carpet and come up there from NC and take care of my friend if you are able, can you make a pit stop when you get son from play date? if not, maybe after?????? anyhow, get it as soon as you can...you will be fine my darling, i promise.

chiming in, i think bottled water is a-ok and i drink water those big 5 gallon containers all day at work......so i am sure they are 100% fine but in doubt, always refer to the dr marketing dude as they would know best. as my gal maddysgram says, that is why they are paid the big bucks

growing up in charleston sc, we had hurricane parties sat in garage and watched storms and drink beer that is until HUGO........i dont play around no more with hurricanes or storms now hope they are all safe

as i told you before silly girl ........, i was #2 queen and lived in the bathroom. after talking to my surgeon, immodium a.d was suggested and def helped this ole gal. (as was me taking a daily probiatic capsule) i opened it and put in my Protein shake. def helped with #2 pool parties def keep drinking as you need to stay hydrated...sip sip sip (sf popsicles etc)

i will say mini plastic containers and zip lock bags are a god send. i get my plastic containers from qvc (lock n locks) to use. i plan ahead on sundays for the week so its a go and grab deal....i love this thread also mcu....

.....if i break a nail, i wonder if that dr would have said you know CG, if you only would lose some weight..........how stupid......hang in there GF

i am with elcee, what complications? did you talk to dr or see help/advice?? and if hunger took its toll, did you get fills or practice portion control? i am sorry you have had trouble..

agree with all posters......let me add, it will take WANT power. if you want to lose weight and be healthy, then do what you have to do. no side steps, no i cant this or that. you just do it. (think of all you did to get this surgery). it was worth it. so its worth it for you to stay strong and positive. you got this

let me know all the details when you get back. i got my princess crown on and my wand READY for action...
