worm2872

I found I can get way more wear out of skirts and dresses then pants, esp dress pants.

Hello all! I bought the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury but I can't get past the taste in yogurt, crystal light etc. I was going to cook with it but it only says up to 140 degrees. Anyone try another unflavored that you can actually cook with?? Any help appreciated! Thanks.

I am just wondering, will it be any better with RNY? I hope so... You have had it really rough. With out complications you should be better with RNY. Will I be able to eat fruit, vegetables, and meat? Yes, I do all the time. Will I be able to eat Breakfast and lunch? Yes Or is tight in the morning like the band? Not tight just sometimes cranky. I was fine in the morning after about a month out Will I still feel that full AND starving at the same time feeling?? Not for a while. Early on you don't even want food. I am about 6 month out now and I can get that I am starving feeling. I now have to make sure I don't eat too much or too often.

They do have fish selections and I would get them without the sauce incase they have sugar or a lot of fat in them. I know pretty early on I had the tortilla soup. Tell them no tortilla strips. It is mainly a little spicy chicken soup.

Let's see... I found out that I have a neck and hip bones, who knew... The airplane ride last week was great. I was not sick before hand worrying if I would fit I still can't grasp I can wear a large. I have 10 bags of clothes for charity!!! I think I can wear sleeveless

Yes, it makes sense. I was used to hiding under my clothes but now I realize I 'feel' better in clothes that actually fit esp when the scale doesn't move for a while. Go buy yourself something nice and try on somethings you never would wear before. :-)

Good! I hope they can help you. :-) Good luck

Yep It is a life savor on the road when travel for work. I love the stuff. I look for the softer ones and just check the sugar. Some can be loaded others (even in the same brand) will be much better.

I know everyone heals differently but you should be feeling a bit better by now. If it hurts pretty bad, you should call your Dr. Hope you feel better soon!

I do drink regular coffee (mild and pretty diluted for most people) but I have a pretty strong pouch. I drink water the rest of the day.

I know mine was less than two and was in recovery for a while before my room.

I still carry the chewables at 5 months. The strips don't work as well IMO. I also slept in the recliner for about two weeks with a heating pad. It was the greatest!

I get it even now at 5 months. Usually after veggies or if I over do it on a bread type product. Gas X is my life saver and papaya enzymes. Make sure you eat slow and chew really well. This is my main problem. I need to stop and think when I eat.

Yes, I agree with Kasey. It took me a while too. I just hit the five month mark and I notice I don't have the stamina I use to for travel. If you can drink them, G2 (low calorie/low sugar) drinks help. I know I would have them periodically bit I only could do about 8 OZ at a time and I diluted them a bit with water. Propel and Vitiamin water zero help with electrolytes. I think I started to really feel normal at about the month mark.

Hi Guys! I am on MFP everyday and I had my surgery 11-19. I am turtleing along and I keep my diary open so you all can see me screw up lol. I'm worm2872 on there as well.

Well, I think it is pretty high (for us post op) in sugar. I know some people can tolerate them but I can't after surgery. Most premade shakes even at 5 months post op do me in. However, I would try the samples you can order from bariatric pantry. This is how I found Syntrax nectar chocolate Truffle. It is what got me through post op and I still have one almost everyday. Also, the Syntrax Matrix Mint Cookie is good too.

Good article! I hope my genes have or will change. I need all the help I can get LOL!

Yep, perfectly normal. I think almost everyone hit some sort of a stall around the 2-3 week mark. Your poor body is adjusting to the hell you put it through. Just stay focused and everything will be just fine.

You will be fine. If I can do it, you can too! I never had any surgeries and was fine. It will go really fast. :0)

Also, our hormones are out of wack. I am sure that does not help. Just make sure your iron level is OK. I am always hot but lately if I get cold, I can't get warm. I wander around at night or sleep with a hot water bottle. It really does help esp when my hubby travels.

I just order what I want and take it home. I don't do the kids menu becuase it usually is to greasy for me. Life is not over. Just how we approach it. Good luck

I am only averaging about 2 per week and that has been since the second month. I am almost five months out and have only lost 61 pounds since surgery. We are all different. I never really had a 'honeymoon' stage.

That's so funny! I took a pic yesterday and I told my husband that. LOOK I have a NECK! The sad part is I was not aware I lost it.
