I pee alot but I drink a lot. I am almost six weeks out and I drink 2 thirty two oz Water bottles, Protein drink, decaf coffee, popsicles, etc. I carry my water bottles with me in my sachi, a ventilated lunch bag. I also have an ice pack in it so it keeps them cool.

What Am I Doing Wrong? Im At A Stall And Im 4 Weeks Post-Op On Tuesday. Been On A Stall For The Las 2 Weeks Almost.
CraftyV replied to Karen2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I stalled too but then one day bam! 5 pounds down! :-) I'm sure you will start to lose again soon. -
Hi everyone, Just wanted to update those who may be curious. As of today I am five weeks + 1 day post op. So far I am doing well. I am down to 219, which is a 27 lbs from surgery. When I started this process I was 255 so pre/post op I have lost a total of 36 lbs. What I eat: grilled chicken (one thigh usually) veggie burger (this is dry but I dip it in ketchup) meats cooked in a crock pot 3-4 oz cottage cheese egg whites eggs Premier shakes from costco Chili from Wendys 1/4 toast (per my NUT) 3-4 crackers (per my NUT) My nut said to add 1/4 cup of veggies or fruit but can barely eat my protein Things I crave (I am slowly losing interest in these foods as I am realizing that I love that I have the control over my food now): cake (frosting) Chinese food tacos mac n cheese (I make award winning mexi mac n cheese (seriously it won an award)) pizza Things I am grateful for: No heartburn at all my smaller body my family who has been very supportive Things I am annoyed about: slimmies Things I cannot live without water bottles my Satchil (insulated lunch bag) freezer pack small containers for my vitamins 1/2 cup containers for my lunch Mio Powerade zero I am not NOT! exercising because I do not want to. Not sure how I can get motivated to do this. I am sure if I started doing this I would lose the weight a lot faster. I had one stall for a week (223/224lbs), but I didn't care. My logic: my hair wont fall out so soon and pants will stop falling off! One thing, I was having BM's pretty normal but then I started to struggle to poop. I don't know if its the premier shakes, but that is when it started. Has this happened to anyone? I still go, its just a battle sometimes! I think I need to add fiber to my meals. I am generally a very healthy pooper. Well, sorry for the long post. If you have any questions, please ask! I encourage them. Have a great day everyone!

Yw Sophie! congrats on your new journey! 2 weeks post op was very hard for me as I struggled with my food addiction. Just remember that each day does get better! I wish you the best!

Yup u can see the difference. Good for you, you are looking fabulous!! -
Hi everyone! :-) I just started drinking premier shakes to up my Protein and I am wondering if they are considered as part of liquids or a Meal Replacement? I asked my surgeon but he said not to worry about drinking Protein drinks. I decided that I do want to drink them but I don't know how to track them. please help!

Losing Weight Becoming A Nuisance! Well For Running At Least!
CraftyV posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone! Well so far I've lost 22 lbs! I haven't bought any clothes and all my clothes fits me loose. Today I decided to drop off my 90 lbs german shepherd at my mom in laws... Well as I walk out my door he gets away from me and darts it down the street!!! He starts to head towards these two boys down the street!! I start chasing and my shorts end up half way down my a$$!! Ha! Running and holding my shorts up is not easy! So I reach him as he is trying to jump on the boys and lick them on their faces. Thankfully no one got hurt! Omg! I need new clothes but I don't want to buy any as it may be a waste of money. Just wanted to share! input welcome sleevers!!! -
