Patienlywtng on my Curves

Hi All... It's apparent that I haven't been here since the start of May. My avi still says its my birthday month! Sigh...I have a meeting tomorrow with the NUT! Scale is going up. As of yesterday, it went down but I need it to continue to go that way! Having a hard time planning a meal that gives me my daily protein totals without snacking! UGH! Hope all of Fab Feb Sleevers are making it happen for them!

My test was a two day process. I was connected to a machine, while on the treadmill they inserted a dye in an IV. The next text was like a CatScan (if I remember correctly) or X-Ray. The next day I went back and they did the same thing. That was it.

There was one person who specifically asked what I was doing. I told them, restraint and exercise. Both true. I also had a hernia repair so if they push that is what I will say. I was also on our WW at Work program. So some have asked if I was still doing WW. I have been in the face of ridicule long enough. I'm not going to add to it with people who really don't mean me well. I say do what is best for you.

If they are lactose and dairy free, what is the fat content. I tried the atkins as my first protein post-op because I knew I liked them, but initially it was the fat content that sent me to the BR. After that I stuck to Premiere Protein shakes. But as someone mentioned try a powder with water.

SB/ LaPorte area? I acidentally drove into Michigan 2 weekends ago because I missed the last Indiana exit on 94 LOL

I'm in NWI, there is another forum here with others from southern or Indy area I do believe.

I picked up a box from Sam's on yesterday. Can't wait to try them. I can smell the seasonings through the box. Laura-Ven, how did you prepare them?

I'm 8 weeks out today. Had my 2 month follow up, down 40 lbs. from Pre-Op Appt. Anyway the best news of the appointment.....I get to move to puréed!!! Finally!! I thought i had one more week but no. I would have gone that extra week....miserable! Haha

I understand your frustration. I have 2 weeks more before I can progress to solids and I'm 8 weeks out today!!! So, as soon as I can sink my teeth into some soft cheese and my lips around a think slice of deli turkey or chicken, I will be oh so happy!

I will be 8 weeks out tomorrow! Can I share that the last few days have been tough!!! My senses are reawakened and I smell every aroma from every restaurant around me. I live behind the mall so, you can imagine, I'm having it pretty bad! :-( I had to go to the mall today foe a gift for my Mom and Cooper's Hawk was smelling divine! I don't even each steak! Unofficially, I'm 33 lbs. down from day of surgery. I have my 2 mo. Post- op appt. on Wed. Usually, their scale shows more than mine, so that is why I say unofficial.

Try stock as well. It has more flavor than broth. And 1 week is nothing. I haven't even made it to the full liquid stage and I'll be 2 mos. post-op Tuesday. It takes a little will power to get to the desired goal!

I slept on my sides immediately. That was the only way I could get sleep or relief from the gas pain. I should add this was after the anesthesia wore off enough for me to move. I was on my back until then.
