I am 13 days post op and I am having a heck of a time getting my protein in. Dr put me on puréed foods a couple of days early. I can't drink most shakes. What are some ideas for me to get my protein??? HELP........

Mami, you were beautiful then and even more beautiful now. Your doing a fantastic job:-)

My surgeon said to expect 15 pounds the first month and then 10 pounds each month after that. I know all surgeons are different. Bit Renee this is a tool not magic. It's a process that we have Togo through. Don't be so hard on your self. 20 pounds is amazing. Really think about that and it's 20 you will never see again. Take it one day at a time. Chin up.

You look amazing.... Congrats.

Beginning weight 234 Pre op weight 215 08-01-12 Today 170 I hit another goal this week. I am now the lowest I have been in 12 years. Woo hoo. Next short term goal 155 that's what I weighed on my wedding day.

If people are not going to love you for who you are and what you are going through then maybe it's time for them to move on. You deserve to be loved by friends unconditionally in your life no matter the circumstances. There are times and seasons for friends. But the good ones will live you forever and that's who you need to surround your self with. I say there loss. I'm sorry you have so much hurt. Focus and you and being the best you can. That's what matters most right now.

Could be a hernia. If the pain isn't going away go in.

That is my birthday :-) congrats on getting it date. The time will fly by.

Go to the DR... And then give us an update. Praying for you.

I am aloud 13 grams per serving of sugar. Ask your surgeon. Tomato soup is perfect for purred and liquid stage:-)

Starting 234 Pre op 215 08/01/12 Today 174 Feels like I'm losing way to slow right now. I don't think I'm getting enough calories has anyone else had this issue I'm only down a pound and a half this week

So I am 10 almost 11 weeks out and I ate my first sweet last night. It was my mother-in-laws bday so I made a cake. I told my hubby I was gonna have some he frowned at me. I said I am actually hoping I get dumping from it. Weird I know... But.... I DID NOT GET IT. I am so bummed, I was hoping to have the accountability so now I have to be stead fast ind use my own will power. It seems as though my body will let me eat just about anything :-(. Buttbuttttt I did not have this surgery to throw it away on eating junk so I will stay stead fast and make the healthy choices my body needs to stay on track. They'd for letting me vent guys....

Your body is still in recovery mode. Have you called your surgeons office yet? Your body is for sure lacking. I want you to think about this. Your body is in starvation mode. You have shut it down. What does starvation mode do. It's like killing your body. Right... So if your not getting in your proper nutrients your body will feel miserable. Your dr might want to put you on some more supplements or vitamins. I know it is difficult. I still can't get in all my fluids and clarifies. I will pray for you to fill better soon. Good luck.

Hahaha mami I was telling my husband that that was one of my goals :-)

Very normal. Check your shakes I had to stop mine. Not to e so so so gross but my problem wasn't just the runs but how sore my bottom was from hemroids worst feeling of my life. I never ever want that again. Talk to your dr if its still going on and watch for dehydration.

It's the little things that mean so much. Today I went to a place called kids club here in Vancouver Washington. For the first time I was able to crawl up in the tubes and run around this Hugh play structure. I didn't even get tired. It was the best feeling. One of the number one reasons I did had this surgery was so I can be a better mommy for my kids. I feel like I am on my way there :-) My daughter when we were at the mall she wanted her pic taken with the old navy family after the fun house:-)

How far out from surgery are you? Could it be dumping?

I am so excited to be in a 14 it's been a really long time. And to think I am only half way there. :-)

Pre surgery 234 Day of surgery 215 08/01/12 Today 176.0 down 2.5 from last week Down 39 since surgery down 58 all together:-) Sometime I wish it would come off a little faster but I am actually losing at a healthy rate. I need to exercise some more. I think when I do it will come off a little faster.

Is anyone having cravings for junk food. If so what do you use to substitute those cravings.

I call that aroma therapy lol. I really can help:-)
