Maybe YOU don't, but don't count out everyone!

Dannon Light and Fit doesn't have the same Greek taste as the others, so I would suggest buying one and giving it a try. Even my 15 year old who hates Greek yogurt can eat this one without complaining. It's worth the protein!

I was stuck from my two week post op appointment until yesterday, which was my four week appointment. I will officially one month out tomorrow and I fluctuated between 225 and 227 for 13 days before finally losing again today. Don't regret it. You can't take it back, you can't superglue your stomach back on and you really can't quit now, so banish the negativity. Just keep doing what you are supposed to be doing and the scale will start moving. I woke up to 2.4 pounds gone today and I am thrilled! That's more than I've shown as lost in 2 weeks! It will happen for you, too. No doubts.

No you don't. You love me. You love me so much, you won't leave!!

Hey now! I could have named my uncooperative bowels after you instead!

DAMMITALLTOHELL. So am I. If you start yapping about french fries, potato chips or buffalo wings, I am going to pound you.

It could be your period. I have an IUD so I shouldn't have one at all, but since I started my pre-op, I've had my period. It's light, but it's there. I've even "fondly" named her (AussieLady) just as I named my gall bladder before it came out (Joey), my brain tumor (Consuela) and my tummy (Charlie). My NP says this is normal with all the hormonal changes your body is going through. Just keep up your Iron and your tampon supply. Check the UTI thing out first, just in case, but it's likely that it's your monthly.

As long as you don't start screaming for chocolate and ice cream, you're good. Although I do have to shove a big wad of cotton up there to shut you up a few times a day...

It's still flowing! It's fairly light, but it's there. I know you'll be thrilled about this... I named it after you.

I am line leader, anti band is butt head, wags is cat, Laura is creepy unicorn and Newat is my ass kisser.

I feel great overall, just pooped if I don't get a nap in. Not dehydrated because I force at least 24 oz a day of liquids plus a forced protein drink. I am supposed to get 64protein and 64liquid. I can do 40 of one or the other so I try to alternate days. Liquids one day, protein the next. I get the foamies (excessive saliva that must be spat immediately) after two small bites of anything except yogurt almost every time. It's getting better, but it's not good yet. I will be a month out on Friday so I am really hoping my brain sends my tummy a congratulations card so my tummy will wake up to the idea that it's time to par-tay instead of vom-it.

No regrets and I don't want to eat a darned thing. Trust me.

I can't get in my protein or my liquids yet. I am stuck at 250-350 calories (which is a huge improvement) a day. I get the foamies immediately upon eating almost anything. It is getting better, but I did not show enough improvement to go from mushies to soft yet.

Every other day is good. Not great. I had my one month today and was told that I did not pass to the next stage yet. Mother truckers.

Hmmm...I knew that guy.

I haven't graduated to meat yet.

I appoint you HEAD butt. AKA BUTTHEAD!!!

My butt is round, too. LEAD THAT!

Better. I approve all table placements and I am final vote on seating arrangements.

I'm the table leader. So there.

Oh! I love a nice swat during sexy time!

Look at those boobs!

Not here!

I will be a month out on Friday. Never hungry. Never.

Olive oil mayo? Blurpity blurp blurp blurp!
