    Powerade Zero

    I am curious what your doctors or nutritionist said about drinking these after healing. How much is ok to drink? The do have a good amount of sodium. I love the fruit punch and orange but hated the grape because it had a terrible after taste. Thanks for sharing!

    How Often Do You Get Stuck?

    I agree sounds like too full to me also. I think I have gotten stuck once and because I wasn't paying attention.

    Why I?M Divorcing My Scale?..

    There are so many views about how often to weigh. I see many like to weigh everyday or twice a day. It would drive me crazy so weigh in once a week as well as set weekly goals. I know a gentleman in another group who has lost 250 lbs so far and he only weighs once a month at doctor visits. He likes the surprise. You just have to figure out what is best for you.

    Who Lost On Thanksgiving?

    See how you overcame with your babies by setting the alarms? Just think of something maybe an alarm maybe something else to help you track. It will really help you so much in the log run. It is not a personality flaw. You will feel better about yourself and your future!
  8. Mis73- nothing like a dose of perspective!! Love your post !
  9. Your document has been quite successful. Just think if you had been charging!

    Period??

    I notice that when I don't eat a lot of crap I don't. Get cramps, diarrhea and my flow is much lighter so yes this can change your period. Also I don't know how old you all are but 40 plus you all know what that means.

    The Honest Truth....

    I understand. I have a friend who also received no after care. I would say maybe look to the people here who have had long term success and find out what they are doing. Most eat a cup each meal but everyone can be different. Can you call your doctors office and find out what they suggest? What about fills in the future? You sure have a lot to think about.
  12. There are lots of ways to get protein without eating meat. I suggest you meet with a nutritionist.

    Discomfort / Pain Near Port

    Sorry you are having trouble and hope you find a dr soon. Not sure if this will help but a girl in another group had a really bad stuck episode and the dr told her to take mylanta. I think mylanta has been pulled from the shelf because they are changing the formula. You can still get generic. I got mine cvs brand and the cherry is really good. Sorry I think she has a spastic esophagus. She was very uncomfortable but doing much better.

    Slips

    Kiro try to measure all your portions and stop when done. Then if you are still hungry in a while maybe measure a smaller amount of a healthy snack. Make sure to track for your dr to see. Also make sure you are eating all solids as they will stay with you the longest . Hang in there.

    Nutritionist Today

    Its awesome you are seeing a nutritionist and you must weigh in to be accountable. I suggest you bring with you a copy of some days you have eaten. Mark how long you feel each meal kept you satisfied and also write down any questions you might have so you don't forget. Please let us know how it goes. You will be great just need to get back on track.

    I Attract Even Me!!!

    Happy birthday and congrats on your success!
  19. I weighed in this week and I lost nothing. The old me would have been tempted to quit. What I do know is I am doing what I am supposed to do and that I won't always lose but I am in for the long haul. I can't expect to lose at once it took a while to put it on. Stay. Strong and stick to your plan

    Who Lost On Thanksgiving?

    Sorry you misunderstood my post. For starters. I was agreeing about how hard it is to track. I have never been successful before I really started to focus on my journey and i learned about the apps online that make it so easy. People who track their food lose twice the amount than people who don't. Also by tracking you can better stay on top of what foods work better than others. For example yogurts and liquids do not keep me satisfied. I know this from tracking and reviewing . Best of luck

    The Honest Truth....

    I have noticed several people not even knowing how much they are supposed to eat. Don't doctors give out aftercare instructions and don't people research this process?

    Scratched My Throat On A Pill...

    I never had problems taking pills but please don't cut your pills without checking with a pharmacist or doctor first. Not all pills can be cut.

    How Many Calories Do You Take In A Day

    I eat 500-800 but I didnt lose this week so I am going to try eating 1000 this week. I also dont count carbs mostly protein.
  25. Don't forget to get the amount of protein per your doctor. It should be the first thing you eat.
