So all the commercials and all the candy floating around everywhere makes me want it more. I broke down today and had a fun size snickers. OH GOD IT WAS DELISH!!! I feel a little guilty but it's the only thing I've had and will have and i added it to my fitness pal to account for the caliors Glad Halloween is over.

I got the Costco brand benefiber and have been adding it to my liquid. Seems to be helping

I went to Zales last week and they put a little metal bar in it to make it fit better. It should make it last a bit longer. My ring is 8 1/2 and they measured me at 6 1/2 now. But still want to wait a bit

Need breakfast ideas. Besides eggs and Greek yogurt. Really low cal stuff.

I tried an unflavored one that I mix with crystal light usually fruit punch I got it at the vitamin shoppe. Can't think of the name but they don't have a lot of unflavored ones. This one mixes with water.

I like breakfast foods for breakfast. But that website does have so many interesting recipes. Thanks for the info.

Very good ideas. Thanks guys! ????

4 weeks out today 27 pounds! Haven't list anything in a few days. This must be the the start of the stall? Finally feeling normal again so I think it might be time to throw myself back into exercise.

Your going to need him. For support and when you come home. It ain't easy!!! If I didn't have my husband helping me for a week. I would not have made it. Helping get you up off the couch. Go the bathroom shower get out of bed. All if it. Believe me!!

That seems like a lot but I think 500-700 calories and 70 g of protein is where we should be and no snacking 3 meals a day is what we have been taught.

You should not be weighing or concerned about weighing your self that close to coming home. Your belly is swollen feet too. At least I was. Just concern yourself with eating drinking and walking like your supposed to. My post op appt at 2 weeks I was 15 pounds down. As of today 28 pounds down. I was sleeved on 9-12-12

Oh girl!! I had the same thing thought it was never going to go away. That stinging pulling a rubberband feeling. Ughhhh I was sleeved on 9/12 and just yesterday was the first day I was able to sleep on my left side and on my belly. It was glorious!! Every one kept saying to be patient. Although its so hard. Everyone is different and has different healing times. Don't short yourself out on the pain med. if your hurting take it especially at night. Don't put a time frame on yourself. You need your sleep to help you heal!!

No way!! Even if u have no complications. It's so hard to get around and sleep. Don't do that to yourself.

Try the mally. It's on qvc and it has a 90!! Day money back and it might even be in easy pay. U get a lot of bang for the buck.

It's not until u start the next phase of food when u actually chew it. That's when u will feel it. When I was on mushy food I stuck to about 1/4-1/2 cup of food. But I added unflavored protein powder to it seems to have made me feel more satisfied. Even though I was not full. But I know that first meal I felt it FULL!!! I was very excited.

NICE!

The bigger incision where they take out the belly. Does anyone still have that stinging pulling feeling near that side. When u stand up or walk up stairs. I'm 16 days out. The surgeon says that's where they put a stitch deep in there. I'm wondering if its just still healing or if its too close to a nerve or something??

How are you all exercising with that pain? Or what are you doing?

Well at least it's normal. Really no one mentioned this at any point. Thanks guys

Oh god I hope so!! That's still quite a ways to go.

I was sleeved on 9-12. Was in the hospital for 3 days. During that time my tail bone was giving me pain and my buttocks were numb from the position in those lame beds. Now sitting hurts laying down hurts. When I consulted the surgeon he says there's not much he can do just try sitting on a pillow. Wellno **** I've tried that. Plus the position ghat you have to sleep in bed to try to keep ur belly comfy is not to forgiving on that area. Did anyone else have any issue like this???

Thanks for the info!! Very helpful. Going to vitamin shoppe today to check it out. I'm 1 week post op and I already know I'm going to need a variety so I don't get bored or grossed out with the shakes everyday. I'll let you know what flavors I try. I really want something I could even mix with some Greek yogurt. Has anyone tried that?

There is way more pain than I anticipated. The gas that they put into your body is a killer!!! Hurts so bad. Tried all the walking. I was walking for like 2 hours in the hospital. And still at home am getting those weird pains in my chest cavity. That they insist is gas. The soreness in your belly is rough too. For wiping after you pee to showering to getting up out of the chair. Barely slept in my own bed after 5 days. Feels like ur stomach is stinging near the inscisions. Way too much fun for me!! But as I finish out day 6. And it's gotten just a smidge better I'm feeling hungry at least that's what I feel it is. I'm starting to worry about feeling like that all the time.

I had mine on 9-12 and was not able to eat or drink anything for 2 days after because of the nausea which happened to be from the pain med. so I told them to give me something else. That seemed to work. But now been eating those small meals and still feeling hungry. Don't know if I'm confusing this pain with something else. Feel like I could eat more but don't want to. Plus I'm drinking plenty of fluid. No question about that.
