Apologies in advance if anyone has covered this already, but expect tummy rumbles. I'm almost 10 weeks out and manuu times my tummy is my own personal symphony! No pain or discomfort, just noise.

Is it possible to filter the higher-protein foods or do you have to just keep looking until you find them?

Don't beat yourself up, restart today, and WALK EVERY DAY like I told you a page or so back!

I couldn't have said this any better.

You just ate packaging! This is a snack: http://protos-inc.co...rkee_Pepper.htm Serving size: 1 stick Calories 80 Fat 1.5g Carb 2g Sugars 1g Protein 14g

Uncooked?!

Fixed it for you. You're beautiful, knock it off.

Where's that smiley that shoots the bird when you need it? (Said the guy from one of the chicken-fried capitals of the south )

Damn you, Laura-ven. Now something is either wrong with my computer or my eyes because everything is blurry all of a sudden after reading that.

*too bad

Why would you want to eat a hot pocket? Did you look at the nutrition label before you ate it? Doing that helps keep me away from bad stuff. Not trying to berate you, but we have to eat smarter now.

May 28, down 46lbs postop plus 50lbs preop.

Happy Birthday Lipstick Lady!

Your woman card, hand it over! There are other AMP Wheybolic flavors (Cookies and Cream, strawberry, Vanilla) that you could try.

I had issues with Protein drinks when i first started them and during my two-week preop diet, everything you're saying. For me, it eventually went away on it's own.

Yeah I'm guilty of doing that and no I wouldn't recommend others try their luck. i had chili about 5 days before I should have. It went down okay (I had about a 1/4 cup) but it could have gone badly. Do what your doc days!

Nothing wrong with being silly and laughing, I'm one of the worst offenders here. Stick around (or search older threads) and you will find people asking what can they have and they're not joking - it's scary!

Oh I fully expected you to tell her to have at it, but in a way that only YOU can! "Dang eat the box!" :lol: :lol:

My story is a little similar to Fiddleman's. I was a chunky , awkward kid and i paid for it in elementary and middle school. Our high school had so many kids from that came from so many other schools that it was easy to hide. I went into college and found myself at 5'9" and 238lbs. This was in the 80s when having a Members Only jacket was a must but there was not one to be found at my size. Something snapped and I started starving myself living mostly on Slim Fast power shakes and walking every day. i managed to get down to 175lbs and I was finally thin. I experienced things that I had never experienced before (like catching girls checking me out and looking me over) and things didn't always go the way i thought they would as a slim person (just because you're slim doesn't mean EVERY girl you find attractive will think the same of you). Life was good and being that weight allowed me to go into the Air Force. This is where I began to pay for the mistake of starving myself. When they say "three square meals" they weren't kidding. I was the only person to GAIN weight in basic training and the slim sexy 31 waist jeans I went in with would not fit me afterwards. It was a struggle with weight until I got out of the air force. There was no struggle then as there was no one to get on me about being fat. Up and up the weight went until 15 or so years later i find myself on the higher end of 300lbs. My wife suggested i get weight loss surgery but i wanted to try it on my own first and actually was able to lose 50 lbs. 5 more years of up and down until this year when i'm at 416lbs, I'm diabetic, I have gerd, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. i succumbed to my wife and met with my surgeon in January of this year for the first time.

I was trying to find nice balance of gmanbat's elegance and Laura-ven's snarkyness so i could reply to this but thanks for beating me to it!

How far out are you from surgery/

You should consider attending support groups post op as well. I attend two different ones monthly. I have a buddy here that attends 4 monthly in the area.
