I get the munchies from time to time ...are there any guilt free or low guilt ideas out there?

Great options!! I'm 3 months post op

I'm getting very discouraged, since my 3rd week I've only lost 7lbs and ill be 12 weeks post op on the 1st if Nov. ..I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong. I feel even if I was just doing weight watchers I would lose 2lbs a week so I'm scared. Idk if maybe my pouch is stretched or what...all together I'm down from 291 to 248...I don't want to stop here! I'm stressing. ..any tips?

I'm 2 1/2 months post op and he been a weight stall for weeks (down 43lbs) but I wanted to start working out to maybe jump start losing again. What are some things you guys do? I'm looking for ideas and wanted to know where my heart rate should be and things like that.

Great idea!!

I'm about 6 weeks post op and I notice I can eat salad really well...a lot of it! I read it was a slider food. Is it bad that I'm able to consume so much lettuce? It makes me feel like a normal person when I have it so I like that I can eat it but I find myself upset that I'm not able to eat like everyone else...I just joined a gym so I'm hoping this can be my new thing so that I don't think about food as much

Does anyone know of a truly flavorless protein powder?

Thank you! Can you get that anywhere?

I am the same! I had very minimal pain was awake and alert the same day as my surgery (which was on Aug 1st) and I went home the next day. I'm hoing back to work on Monday and feeling almost like normal

We were instructed to pack as light as possible! I took my phone charger a book and underwear...for home I was sure to have popsicles, soup (to drain the broth), sugar free jello, and crystal light packets

I am a week and a half post op and I feel like my mouth is so dry! Its driving m e crazy...Protein drinks dry me out...juice drys me out...so I've been drinking water but it only lasts for a couple mins. Is there anything I can do for this? Is this normal after surgery?

Yes I do find it hard to get the liquids in even though I'm still in the full liquid stage but the popsicles are a good idea! I have plenty but I'm so cold these days u haven't veen wanting them. I also feel like I don't hungry or full triggers...so much to get adjusted to!

I was hungry as well! Today was my first day in full liquids and it was much better. I would see food in tv I didn't even like and day dream about eating it lol but you will make it through!

I am 1 week post op and was able to start my full liquids today. I was told I wouldn't be able to finish a container of yougurt or pudding but i was able to just fine. I don't know if some people can just eat more than others or if I should be concerned. It was also basically the only thing I've had today because I left my water at home and had an early drs appt...so maybe I was a little extra hungry??? Anyway I'm just curious ..otherwise I'm loving this new look on life!

Also can you guys tell me how to upload a pic to my profile

Thanks ladies! I too am looking forward to the soft/moist week! An egg sounds great right now! Lol

I am on opti fast and hate it...is there a different alternative? Something more natural that I can actually eat? Drinking this crap is not working for me. Also my ins has approved my procedure and I have already met my deductible but I lost my job Thursday and I'm scheduled for June 12th. I don't want to not get my surgery but I'm not sure what my other options are. Any advice?

Thanks! Do I get get cobra even if I was let go? How do I do it?

Just saying hello!

Hi! I'm scheduled for surgery June 12th...so far I have been pretty blah but as I get closer I have mixed emotions. I'm scared, happy, and nervous abt how other ppl will react. I'm 31 and have had weight issues since my first kid abt 13yrs ago. I'm looking forward to veing confident again! I have to go on opti fast for 4 weeks. Has anyone else used this? How was it?
