Yeah me too!!! I'm a Dude ,splain that?

Good, keep sipping you are doing great !! As your post-op diet progresses you will be amazed how little food you can eat and feel full!

Are you taking protein drinks ?

Doritos are best washed down with a 2 litre of coke.....diet of course!!!

Why wait 6 months or a year and stretch out the new stomach when you can have some the day of discharge and rip it open!!! Go for it ... Try not to die and get back vst let us know you did !

Single incision thru the navel is all the rage!

This may sound harsh but has helped me to be more open to change; INSANITY=holding same attitudes and repeating same behaviors and expecting different results.

Another fat on fat crime !!! I recall reading a post about how overweight people are more hostile/ biased against us than people at healthy body weight. Hummmm. Remember that face and those questions the next time you are up on the Xtrainer ...........Hoo-Rah!

GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM !!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!

Write all you want sweetie. Don't worry if it's not good enough for anyone else to read ,just write ...write your blog..... La la la laa la la la la laaa la.

Two months out meat didn't work for me I am 7 months now and it's a little better . Defiantly No skin ,feels like I ate thumb tacks.

Good for you Tiffers, really! I forgot how touchy we become when we are separated from our old comfortable foods. Never realized in today's times "sucker" would cause such ire . Point was most "protein bars"are anything but. Here is what is laying around ; Cliff builder 270 cal 20g protein 8g fat 5 is sat. fat 20g sugar and the protein is soy isolate & concentrate, Carb conscious supreme protein 400 cal 19g fat 12 Is sat. Fat ..actually m Donald's cheese burger 300 cal 12gfat 15 protein starts to look ok. Not saying eat burgers lose weight ..just saying ,because it's a protein bar does not mean its for me!

Right-o capt. Take more pics with your 05 pick up sweet. Wondering how much trucker beef u have eaten in there. Summer in the hamptons. Gotta go b*****s!!

12 7 11 yeah 136 pounds . I understand Otr if I was stuck in a truck working my balls off in a go nowhere job for shitty pay looking at a miserable future I would probably feel the need to talk **** too .good luck in life licking capitan what's his names a*****e! Big thanks for the beef but u probably hear that from your mama all the time ! Nice beard whoo scary!!!!

Sorry Otr but the 50g shake is split forgot to mention that. Btw sleeved 12/7/12 and down 136 lbs as of yesterday, how u doin ? If you are ever in jersey just holla we can hit the gym ... You do that,right? Or do you sit around criticizing people's posts and trade cookie recipes with the ladies.

Drinking too soon before eating dilutes digestive enzymes that are in our stomach, it can lead to Indigestion,nutrition issues ect . For me 15 min is enough. I try to wait 45min after (my doc is conservative too!) gives my stomach work on the food and not wash it out !

Started putting extra holes in my belt at six weeks out at five months I bought a new one.Oh yeah at around four months two ladies from church sat my wife down and offered to pray with her because it was obvious I was very sick and wasting away.hahaha I am 7 months out down 140lbs and waist size46 is now a comfortable 34. I bought a shirt last week it was large slim fit I didn't even like it but it was slim fit and it fit I left that little tag on that said slim and acted like I didn't see it stopped by my brothers for a visit (just to rub it in)...you know surgery the easy way.. bla bla bla

Sorry about your husband that can't be easy. I would be sure to work into the conversation that surgery was planned before hubby's indiscretion,and not a reaction to it.depression did not exclude me ,it's best to disclose it and how it is effectively being treated; meds,therapy ect. Remember surgery is a tool and you have to take responsibility for lots of changes in your lifestyle so any success along those lines are also worth mentioning ie. quitting smoking, drinking or drug sobriety especially if long term . Basically be honest and you should be fine, the nurse at my surgeon told me that in 11 years only 1 guy was disqualified ,he was an alcoholic in denial. Do you have support post op? A friend or sibling that can stay with you for a couple of days ? That is something you might want have in place before you disclose that your husband left. Don't say deserted to psychologist, say he chose to leave ,how you phrase things matters! Keep your chin up ,good luck and God bless you!

Protein bars are for suckers!! The calories and fat never seem worth it for low quality protein.For months everything smelled like fish to me,peppermint extract in a thick chocolate shake does not make a York but makes it bearable , green tea with vanilla not a bad chai, a little tang and vanilla =orangeade, isopure alpine punch two scoops 8oz water 50g protein a bunch of minerals 210 cal O carbs is what I'm using now does not smell bad. Hoping this helps !

I don't think I'm gay but I am really really happy!

Unjury chocolate splendor with 1 teaspoon kava instant coffee ( low acid) mixed with skimplus milk 30 g protein . You can put this in a Starbucks cup and fool your better half into believing its a mochalatte' really it's that good. Yes that's real caffeine and I am not dehydrating!

Mine were glued but sutured inside 7 months ago I know where all 6 holes were but can only see 2 and those just barley. Staples Will leave marks and are prone to infection. Staples work but wouldn't you want a surgeon who takes every precaution so your recovery is trouble free?

I stalled at 205 for a month also. I was sleeved dec 7 at 333. I been keeping my calories around 1000 and up to 1500 on heavy workout days. I was trying not to panic but was, I wanted to be under 200 by my bday 7/1 but no good. I didn't exercise at all for one week and even had some Reese's pieces ,ok and four Oreos (mistake),I worked out Saturday 7th day , 197 post workout, I have been doing weights every other day some form of cardio (one hour )everyday and my own form of tyyogastretchalattes.So the short of it is I think I was stressing my body so much it didn't want to give anything up. I agree with prev post calories seem high,maybe MFP for a week so you can better see where your calories are coming from.If all else fails eat Reese's pieces!

I did decaf for about 3months mostly tea, with I teaspoon of sugar (that's 15calories) I am 7 months out and I drink reg. coffee with one sugar a day.I an militant about all other sources of sugar in my diet,fruit too, this affords me the Luxury of coffee without that nasty stuff in it.

My dr had me wait 8 weeks. Try this "Source of life adults chewable" has everything most bariatric vita have and then some,dose is 2 tabs I split them am-pm . They are so good I don't chew just let them dissolve.
