What's fage?!

This morning my husband was fixing link sausages and scrambled eggs. I took 1 sausage and about 1/4 c of scrambled egg!! I cut in tiny tiny bites and chewed chewed chewed and all went WELL!! I won't press my luck but it was fun having a real little breakfast!! I've been fixing maltomeal and adding my vanilla cinnamon swirl protein powder to it (22 g per scoop) and that's been my go to when I know I better eat, prob eat that 2x a day. I half the smallest serving size!

I just took a 1/2 of a 10mg melatonin to see if I can sleep tonight. The loratab that I haven't had since Tuesday has kept me all wired up, Benadryl did nothing for me last night. Praying I get some sleep tonight!

I ate a scrambled fresh egg with a slice of cheese melted on it! Well not the whole thing- but over half of it! It was DELISH! I'm on the second stage full liquids, I don't know if an egg is part of the menu but I made it and it was yum and no side effects from it yet! Was a nice change up!

I decided I would try the night with no pain meds. I'm in very little pain and can go all day without so why not right? WIDE AWAKE! You'd think I was on crack or something, can't sit still, can't lay still, RLS, tossing and turning and not once falling asleep! Ugggh

I just spoke with them. They said I could try tylonal PM or call my pcp and get something stronger.

DID. NOT. GET. sleep. ;•( Took 2 Benadryl at 9:30- then again at 1:30- finally fell asleep on the couch at 5 am to be woken up at 6! Ugh I think this is going to cause an emotional break down. I want sleep. I don't want to be wired like this all the time.

HW- 222 CW- 199 SD- 2/20

Yep been off the loratab since earlier this week- just can't sleep now I'm so wired! So taking some Benadryl in hopes it brings me down and I can sleep!

When can we resume?!?! For the most part I'm good except the zings I get on the left side- like getting in and out of a car, out of bed.... Otherwise I feel great. Unsure of being jiggled around too much and I though of other positions but there would be ab muscles that would have to work better....

Yea no pressure wanted for sure. I'll wait another week!

How come you have to crush? I was told it smaller then an m&m or the size of a tylonal it would be ok to take whole.

I bought Benadryl tablets today! So excited to try them tonight and hopeful for SLEEP!!

I'm totally wired! I stopped all caffeine and soda back in November! I did crash and take a nice 2 hour nap today, so that just made me wired again for tonight! Sure hope the Benadryl works! Maybe I have the same prob coming off loratab- wires me up.

Welcome!

I bought crystal light margarita drink and it was good, missing the twokillya of course!

I just bought some today! I thought I had some in the cabinet last night and there was less then a tsp! I bought the adult pills. Last night was sleepless too!

Can't wait to have this problem!!!

I was denied at first for a 39 BMI- I had to go back in and reweigh and lucky gained 4 pounds after the holidays that bumped me up to over 40 BMI. I was contemplating putting weights in my pockets for the weigh in.....

I'm only a week out but wanted to jump in here. We have about 50 chickens that started laying again and we are collecting 15/19 eggs a day! I sure hope I'm a lucky one who can still tolerate eggs! I love our fresh eggs!

I ate maltomeal this morning with some vanilla Carmel protein power added. Only took 7 bites to become full! I'm 8 days postop- still have a weird pain in left side that zings me now and then. My start weight b4 surgery was 222- preop was 210, this morning was 201 (by my scale) I've been focusing on the liquids and full liquids and I'm going to call my nut to ask about protein intake now- my papers say to add carnation instant breakfast to stuff to add protein in but it isn't really focused yet on protein. I've had yogurt, sf pudding, creamed soups, maltomeal, broth, sf jello, diluted 100% juice, v8, water water water- I don't know what it feels like to be hungry, because I never am, but I'm learning the "full" feeling! So far everything has been great except NOT sleeping at night because I'm wired up and I stopped taking pain meds! Getting some Benadryl today!

This Soup is so tasty and smooth!! Yummy on a cold winters day!

Yea I'm not at the stage of worrying about protein consumption yet! Just full liquids.

Excellent!!! Keep going girl!

Tonight it's Benadryl then! I ended up falling asleep around 5 on the couch, husband was up at 5:30 getting boots on for work then I went to our bed and slept till 7. Wahoo 2 hours of sleep...
