    Sex

    It's definitely not for everyone but if done right can be enjoyable. Do research first, go slow, and most importantly use a good lube! Oh lord I hope no one I know joins this forum.

    Need to spice up the bedroom

    My boyfriend and I are avid fans of Athena's. They have great toys, lubes, etc. Also have some nice spa products.

    Birth Control Problems!

    About the NuvaRing.....isn't it awkward to insert? And do you feel anything? Can it slip out or be felt during sex by either person? I'm starting Depo at the end of this month but want to be prepared with a back up plan in case I don't like it.

    Protein bars!

    That's where I got my first ones to try. The shop I went to today had other flavors that GNC didn't have so I got some more to try out.

    I'm so happy I could cry

    Finally got to the store today with the intention of buying some, but they have a lot of saturated fat in them! So I passed

    WARNING! Poop!

    Ok I have to ask....does anyone else get nauseous when you eat and you haven't poop? When I eat sometimes I be really rumbly and nauseous after and eventually I'll get the urge to....go....and about 10-15 minutes after I do, I feel better.

    What ya eating tonight?

    Trying a smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe for lunch today. So far so good!
  9. Just wondering, what does your surgeon/nutritionist tell you you should be getting, and what are you getting realistically?
  10. I'm supposed to be getting 60. Some days I come really close. Some days nowhere near it. Rarely do I go over. It was easy when I first started soft foods, but you can only eat turkey, chicken, or tuna so much before you get sick of it.

    dumping?

    Puréed would be anything you could drink (cream soups) or that doesn't have to be chewed. If it has pieces in it that need to be chewed at all, it's not puréed.

    Homemade pizza! I used one side of a multi-grain sandwich thin as the crust and put a spoon of sauce and some shredded cheese. Cooked for 2 mins under the broiler. Was delish, and the perfect size!

    Coffee

    Maybe, but I've drank other things with straws and haven't noticed the gassy feeling. Maybe it's something with the coffee....or maybe I just need to pay more attention lol

    Coffee

    I can do decaf and I'm fine with that. Can't do the fake sugar or no sugar though I find if I use just a little bit of regular sugar it's ok. Also at work I use the coffeemate powdered creamer and that's good but if I get coffee at Starbucks I get it with skim. Been finding lately that iced coffee gives me major gas. Haven't noticed it with hot coffee, wonder why that is.

    Anyone have a recipe for a low-fat Alfredo sauce?

    Extreme gas after eating

    I have it now after just a protein shake. And I'm at work. I work in a call center, and I'm pretty darn sure the customers can hear it over the phone :-/

    2 month post op pics

    I get excited to take the monthly pics now because that's the only real way I see the changes

    Bad night

    Try a different protein drink. The Atkins ones are ok. Also the chocolate Body Fortress powder at Walmart mixed with almond milk is really good. Tastes like yummy chocolate milk. If you're a coffee lover you can also mix it with some decaf coffee and ice and make like a mocha milkshake. That's what I've been doing and it's totally saved me.

    Thanks! I honestly haven't seen much of a change in myself until I put the pics next to each other. It's such an amazing feeling to see the difference now
  21. I don't have specifics but soup is always a safe bet, and it's not as expensive as meals and you can't take it home. Or you can order an appetizer as a meal if there's anything decent.

    In moderation. I made a little pasta with mostly meat sauce.
