No game

Sorry I noticed your trying different shakes., I would suggest premier pre made shakes from Costco or SAMs club, they are 30 grams of protein and more filling than Atkins and such.. What's your diet plan?

Your cute! But I seriously doubt your going to get many people here giving you suggestions on foods to cheat with:p You've made it this far keep up the good work, This isn't like a diet just to lose weight, this is part of your pre op to get your body ready for surgery. I promise you will be able to eat again soon

Thanks Rodney, I will look up those stores

Yeah... See... Just not funny again. Oh well you had one good one! Keep it up, you'll get there soon enough

Hehehe....

Oh and I'll wait a few minutes for you to look up "Misogyny" to get your comeback

See now that was kinda funny! I think if you stay here on this thread and keep up with your misogynistic one liners, you'll be fine!

Dude really "thinned skinned estrogen factory" I was on that "my before pics" thread.. She wasn't mad. Your just not funny...

It would of been for my husband!! Ba-dum bump!

There goes my plans for date night....

Protein Bars should not be eaten until you are released to eating solid food again (not soft or puréed) They are a good option for those emergency situations when nothing else is available.

You will do great a good sense of humor goes a long way on the tough days

62 pounds!! OMG! And I was giving you advice?? I might start asking you now!

Wait! Don't flame me! I'm just kidding I wish I had done before pics, but I was to scared.

Girl what are you talking about! These are good, I can see everything.. Crystal clear! Wait you were showing before pics of your bathroom, right??

Dude.... You jumped the shark on that one!

Comfort.. It's why I ate. Numbing myself with each bite, from what? Past trauma? Disappointment? Boredom? Life? The answer? All of the above. As you know a lot of us struggle with addictive personalities here. If you've been around here you've heard me talk about my problem with the pain meds at night, I started taking them in the evening ( the same time I did my best eating) long after I "needed" them.. I shocked myself because drugs or alcohol have never been a problem for me. It's like an addiction is waiting around every corner just waiting for me some days. I've been sick this last week and had bad allergies to top it off. I have always stayed away from Benadryl because I have a bad drugged type reaction and then it knocks me out. Well a few days ago I got so desperate I took one, worked awesome! I went back for more the next night. Last night I couldn't find them, my husband took them. He said I know you just want to knock yourself out.... Was he right? Maybe. We have additive personalities, and we are sneaky beings. So we are always looking for ways to fill that hole. My husband knew about the pain meds in the beginning because I told him. That's how he knew to take the Benadryl away and confront me on it. You need to do the same. Shine a light on the problem, talk to a close family member, friend, and counselor. And us of course, I talk about my daily struggles here, sometimes in real time as I am trying not to binge. It makes me sad that you can't come here as "you" because this does not take away from your successes and value here as a person, but I will respect your privacy.

I see that Amy! I have no idea.. But you should definitely call in the morning. It's in the 90s this week here and I'm not having swelling...

Are you two done yet??? Oh and does anyone want to hear about MY SURGEON!! He is absolutely the best in the WORLD! No really.. he won an award for it! It's on his wall right next to his diploma from the his medical school called earnyourmedicaldegree.com

See it truly is "magic"

Me thinks her nut might Be a nut, Andy

I think the stomach thing for me got better around 5 months.. I feel pretty good with eating no more queasiness. As for the exhaustion I'm hopeful that I will be back to normal in a couple of months, it's a big thing we did to our bodies and I think for some if us, it takes longer to rebound.

I didn't tell my mom until after all the pre op stuff was done and I had a surgery date.. She was a little worried but knew there was nothing she could do about it at that point. But my mom lives three hours away and I'm 46 so not much she could do. Now my mother in law! She lives in town and we did not tell her until I was home from surgery, that's because we knew she would go crazy and stress me out more than I was on my own. What happened you say?? We told her afterward and she went CRAZY! And she was mad that we kept it from her, we told her this is why we kept it from her. She couldn't argue that..

What a lesson! Hehehe... I've been one of the lucky ones I've never thrown up, and to have to do it at a restaurant Oh well at least you don't have to count it on your daily totals! I should say there was I few times in the beginning that I wish I could of thrown up!
