  1. Had surgery at Portsmouth hospital.
  2. Hi- I'm 8 months out, and my vision has started to go downhill and FAST!! Anyone else experience this???
  3. Down 110lbs! Loving life, shopping and all of the energy!! Few bumps along the way- but well worth it!!
  4. I know both are bad- but why? Sensitive pouch?? Stretch it out?? Or just leads to bad habits?? I miss carbonation..

    Caffeine & Carbonation?

    Thanks all- I'm about 5 months out- lost almost 100lbs.. Luckily I love my decaf coffee.. I love the way I feel- more than I miss diet coke!
  6. Is there a difference? People say with dumping- its almost immediate.. Ive had a few times where I'm done eating- have wicked burbs and about an hour later I get sick.. Is that from eating fast or is that dumping? The problem is- it happens on stuff I shouldn't dump on.. No sugars..

    Frustrated!

    Great advice!! I'm almost 10 weeks out- and I started tracking the weeks that I stop losing.. It's coinciding with my 'mid cycle'.. I even gained 2lbs this time.. But within a couple of days- I dropped 5lbs. So try to start charting your weeks- you may find a pattern there..
  8. I am 10 weeks and have the same paranoia.. I already have short, fine, hair- I don't want to lose it!! .

    Bad Emotional Days ?

    The last couple of days have sucked.. Cried a lot- and not sure why.. The huge lifestyle change- the sadness of missing food as my comfort- plateau in weight loss- etc.. It's such a huge transition!! And no one gets it- besides all of you!! Surgery was 5/21..

    Ice Cream Anyone?

    Weight Plateau

    I was just signing to on to start a similar post. Post op 288lbs.. Surgery 5/21.. And I've been hovering 258-259 for a few days now.. Not sure if it's the heat- or my cycle- or normal.. Frustrating!!

    Caffeine?

    Have you given it up all together?? Temporarily? Or just cutting back??

    Cold Food?

    I also was told to use one of those mug warmers- supposed to keep coffee warm- but perfect size for our little bowl.. Or the baby dishes that you add hot water into to keep food warm.. Or heat a rice bag- put in your lap or table- and put bowl in there.. Some ideas..
  15. I was told the best time to get high protien in was first thing in the morning- and after working out..
  16. Hi- I see that everyone has different foods they are allowed to start with- but how many grams of protein are you supposed to get each day? My dr says 60 grams (3 weeks post op). What about you? What of you get 70-80 in? Is that ok??

    Broke Out In Rash

    You poor thing- good luck- I was miserable- lasted about 5 days- also did oatmeal baths..
  20. Do you have the 30 min rule?? I am 3-4 meals of 1-3oz.. Can't drink 30 min before or after you eat..

    Protien Totals?

    It's hard- it may take me 45-60 min to eat 1/2 cup refried beans..

    Protien Totals?

    Oops.. I CAN'T have fruit/veggies for a few more weeks.
  23. tstevens28

    Protien Totals?

    Stuff like Ground turkey.. Fat free refried beans- turkey breast with fat free gravy- pure protie pre-made choc shakes (23 grams). Syntrax strawberry mousse shake with skim milk (30 grams). Hormel turkey chili.. I can have fruit/veggies for a few more weeks- so it's all protein..

    40's New Beginnings

    I started this whole process when I was 39- hoping to have surgery by the time I was 40. I will be 41 in August- and just had surgery 5/21. Doing ok so far- 20lbs down. I'm nervous about how being 40 will slow stuff down..
  25. Ok- not sure if I ate too fast or too much- pain in my chest and back- how long does this last?? It was aroun 2pm- 3 hours ago..
