worm2872

Yes, My skin is pretty rough but my hair is the worst. I seem to get really oily. It subsided for a while and now it is back.

You look great!!

I just buy the frozen and heat them up with some salt. I love them. Great for protein.

You do have to be careful which ones you pick but there are some good ones. I travel and use them if real busy at work. Pure protein, nugo slim, quest, to name a few. There are a lot out there now that are low sugar low carb and natural ingredients.

Yes mine did last about two weeks. I just tried to eat what I could as often as I could. I actually switched from crystal light to plain water. It was making it worse. It would take me an hour to get in most of protein drink.

I'm Worm2872 (go figure lol) and I am on there everyday.

Same here I have to do two Colace (stool softners) a day and periodically milk of magnesia. If not, I am really constipated and miserable. Check with your Dr. first. So recommend Mirilax daily. Hope you feel better!!

Well, I guess it depends on how they are prepared. If they are baked and mainly crab meat, I don't see why not. I would be very careful since a lot in restaurants are fried and have a lot of butter and even mayo type sauces on them. Pretty rich.

They ship really quick too!

Baratric Pantry has a bunch of different sample packs you can order. You can order one from Unjury too. This is how I found my favorites. I like Syntrax Nectar Chocolate Truffle and Syntrax matrix Mint Cookies and Cream for a change. I also like the Unjury. They have a chicken soup too that is great for post-op.

Anyone else get actually hungery at this stage? I am getting my protein in and not drinking with meals. Some days I am OK but lately I have actually been getting hungry. So I drink more water. It helps a bit but I thought I had a few more months of grace period. Is it just me? I wake up hungry.

I am no expert but I try to be on here everyday and look for folks to reach out to. I agree, this board helped me so much I want to give back.

Yep. I think We all go through this with the healing process. Mine hit weeks three and four. It was awful but I pushed through and it passed. I swear I lived on a Syntrax shake, yogurt, cheese and crackers. Hugs!

You must be so proud. Rem this day when things get a little rough after surgery. It proves how strong you are!!! Good luck and congrats.

Aaggghhh! People just can't handle their own insecurities and jealousy. They hate us fat and hate the fact we are doing something about it. Maybe hate is a strong word but you get my point. Glad we can vent and support each other here. Just rem we did this for ourselves

So dr are ok with them some are not. Mine was. I used gerber stage two or three. Didn't eat much of them but when I needed something different I used them.

Ill have a few water crackers with my cheese or lunch meat. On my plan I am allowed starches/carbs after protein. I get my protein in so a few crackers are fine to make it easier. Rem. all plans are different. If you are unsure check with your dr or NUT.

I eat out a good bit. Whatever you order try to Mae sure you can doggie bag it. I feed off of it for a few meals or hubby/doggies get it. We can live normal lives.

These posts tear at my heart and really make me angry. You all seem like wonderful woman and I can't imagine people not wanting to be friends or with you. Society hates us for being fat then hates us for succeeding. The green monster is a terrible thing. We can sit here and say they are not worth it but that fact is the hurt still lingers. I do think counseling of some sort will help. I think I need to start to deal with the emotional piece too. I have wicked body image issues. Poor hubby. You will get your life back and find new friends. Continue to be strong. I'm always here too :-).

Same here. I'm already sagging and only down 50. But I'm in some size 14s. I'm ok with the sagging. Good luck.

Yay! My doc and NUT both laugh about Wendy's chili. I guess it really is pretty good for you. They both ok it and say they can't get over recommending a fast food.

OK This is going to make me sound like I am nuts but I travel a lot for work and I know how pervasive bed bugs are and how easily they are moved around. Could they be in clothes from thirft stores? Do you bring home your clothes and wash them all on hot? What about dress clothes? Ever find them there? I have never really shopped in them and I don't know what to do. lol I am hoping this will be my best option for clothes for a while.

Mine started about then too. I was thinking I was crazy. Now I know it's hunger.

Chocolate I've done that too. Oops lol. Just a bite.

Yea!! Congrats
