    bad food day

    thats what I have to tell myself. I am human, not super human and hopelessly flawed just like god made me. This is a learning process for all of us. I try to take it day by day. I am really trying to plan meals a wk at a time especially when I work 12 hr shifts but even then, like you said old habits are hard to break-snacking after work was a huge issue with me and first week back to work on friday, I was tired, stressed and feeling overworked so what did I do-went to what I know food and made myself sick. trying to make a plan to use my wise mind and find a health outlet-anyone have suggestions?
  2. I didn't have any pain after the JP drain was removed. Only took 1 pain pill and 1 week post op laid hard wood floor in my living room. Im a weirdo though and my pain tolerance is crazy high. Did you talk to your dr about the discomfort? It may be gas. have you been walking? been walking 2+ miles a day and taking my PPD and maalox on a reg basis. Hope things get better.
  3. SO WHEN IS EVERYONE'E SURGERY DATE AND HOW IS THE PRE-OP DIET GOING?

  5. really, maybe your body is just use to it. My entire nursing unit had a cake that was made with coconut water and 6 hrs later most of them were fighting for the bathrm. I was cracken up. Thank god it was chocolate cake because I hate chocolate and would have had a piece or too.
  6. just be very careful with the coconut water it is a natural laxative and can be explosive!!!! with residual bloating and stomach cramps. Live and learn thats me and that wasn't after WLS that was last year at my friend who is a Vegan.

    mix protein shakes with almond milk. unsweetened vanilla is the best only 40 cal
  9. hello my name is Tina. I have decided to get the VGS now just looking for a surgeon. My BMI is 35.1 and makes it difficult to find a surgeon in Ohio that does't give me the look!!!!! besides my insurance requires me to have 2 core health issues. ANd if that isn't enough I have to jump through 6ths mths of hoops to get to the surgical date. I dont want to wait 6mths. I want it now. I have been seeing a psychologist for a year and continue to be unable to stick to a diet plan through trying to control my eating. Im an addict. I live to eat and feel out of control. I am unhealthy, tired, depressed and can't motivate myself to work out because my back hurts all the time. how did you find your surgeon? Help me!!!!!!!
