Yuck! Not fun.

I know it- that's what I made the kids for dinner. I had my refried beans with cheese. is anyone experiencing "head hunger" ? I am having a hard time making meals for others- the smells!

I like my genie bras. I wouldn't wear them forever but while I am shrinking they do the job and are comfy. I like the wide band under the cups, holds everything in place. I also took the extra pads out- no need for em. My biggest fear is my boobs will look like slices of pizza hanging. I am already saving for a reconstructive surgery.

That is great!

I had my post op visit today- met with dietician, nurse then the surgeon. Lotsa info. I am 3 weeks out and down 20 pounds. They told me to wean off the protein shakes to 1 per day and increase water. I am to eat 2 ounces of protein with each meal and have 2 small snacks. They said to make sure always eat protein first then veggies. I am still on soft diet until 6 weeks ( able to mush with a fork). The doc said to ramp up exercise. He said the major weight loss will be the first 6 months and then will wain toward the one year mark. I wanted to share that I did my protein shakes with warm water, kind of like cocoa. Thanks for the tips on the Lose It App. I was told today that the most successful losers journal.

I hope that you feel better. You have not had a break. Keep your chin up!

And I read about bras- time for new undergarments here too! I picked up 2 Genie bras. I figure they will shrink with me as they are stretchy. They fit well and are comfy.

I got unflavored Isopure from Amazon. Came in a few days. I have been adding it to different things and don't notice a taste change.

Has everyone been keeping a food journal? I ha ve been calculating my protein but not writing it down. I see the nutritionist/ dietician tomorrow and I'm afraid I will be hearing about it.i know a lot of people use my fitness pal but I am technically challenged. I did try it for a few days though: ). Anyone use a system that works?

I was bruised from the stab wound next to my belly button and all the way down to my thighs. It wasn't pretty.

I had a tiny bit of broiled salmon last night and it came right back up on me. That was a first for me. I too have thought about grinding pizza! Ugh

I am all messed up! It was 4 days after surgery and now I can't figure out how to get on a regular pattern. I have added been Fiber to my drinks.

That can be gas, walking helps. I used a rice heating pad. You have to get it to move to reabsorb or out. Good luck. It can get really bad though.

Congrats!
