when did you notice your hunger coming back? I keep reading a lot of people don't have appetites right after surgery just wondering how long that lasted. thanks

thanks for responding. I am getting closer and I have a nervous excitement! And Questions keep coming up in my head(smile) I guess I feel security in "knowing"

nice to meet Julissa I am so happy that you decided to restart the journey I know it can be frustating but the healthier you are the better for you and your lil' ladies. I am so excited for you God Bless you and Good Luck

Hi everyone I see there are a lot of new names to add to the Roll call will post an updated list in the morning Good luck to the folks scheduled in the morning I am sending prayers, hugs, & love your way to everyone recovery from last weeks surgery I hope you are recovery quickly without much pain

The main thing is the carbs how split up your meal is your preference so when your hungry eat some lean meat & low fat cheese they are carb free

If you are doing Atkins yes you can have eat chicken until you are full go for it you are to focus on lean meat and low fat cheese to stay full and you can have a lot as because its CARB FREE

That is wonderful...I complete everything Monday. I've only lost 7lbs so far i'm hoping for 15lbs by the my surgery date(15th)

Glad you are doing well thanks for the tips Does you DR have you on full liquids already? I noticed the light yogurt

I bet you never thought a meal that looks like an infant's plate would excite you so much(smile..LOL) Glad to hear you are doing well

yeah Mushies(smile) Glad that you are doing very well Good luck to you

yeah...I'm so happy for you I was so worried during the wait for my insurance and a wieght was lifted as soon as you get the approval so I know you are sighing with relief right now Congrats to you you're on your way

I am a night eater too first of try to increase your fluids( I alternate crystal lights so it's not to boring) and try to keep busy I work out at night instead of the day becuase it uses up that time I would sit in front of the TV and munch and then I am so tired all I can do is shower and get to bed hope this helps you are doing great

make sure you are drinking lots of water I was starving(on day 4) but I increased my water and I'm not starving anymore I do have the craving but my stomach isn't growling and complaining anymore I drink 64oz now and I feel so much better Hope this helps

Happy Band Day....... sending prayers hugs and good vibes your way. Good Luck
