They have meds for that. I don't remember the names but there are anti nausea meds you can use. Your body needs sustenance.

I'm 18 days out today and just now starting to get the hang of it. I can now drink quite a bit in an hour. Before it was impossible...so just suck popcicles and ice chips and wait until it gets better. I've eaten 6 sugar free pops in a day before. I finally started making my own out of my crystal light stuff cuz the pops were freaking me out. Too much dye. Too much sweetener.

My newest food addiction that seems to do well with my pouch is: 1 container of fage yogurt plain, 1 cup cottage cheese, 2/3 banana sliced thin, 1 tablespoon sugar free apricot preserves, 1 pack splenda. I only eat 2-3 ounces over an hour...BUT I mix it and keep it in the fridge. Good protein, soft, keeps my pouch happy.

Good luck tomorrow for those having surgery

Baked salmon, low sugar ketchup and black eyed peas.

I didn't go for almost a week AFTER surgery. It's normal for everything to take a while. I go back to work Monday. Of course I don't want too. But hey, I'm luck y for no major complications so far.

I found a lot on pinterest and youtube. I'm sure most can be tweaked away from honey and such if you have issues with them.

Chapstick phone/charger kindle/ipad facial cleansing pads←I washed my face 3 times a day. I've always been greasy though Antibacterial hand/body wipes←same thing I liked wiping myself down lotion I took tshirts, sports bras,panties, slip on shoes and loose pants. As soon as my catheter was out I was in my regular clothes. They unhooked my iv so I could get dressed up top and I took a "bath" with my antibacterial wipes. Slip on tennis shoes so I didn't have to walk those halls in my socks. Gross hair brush Hair ties soap. I took my own and shampoo and conditioner. The stuff they give you blows.

I ordered one off amazon and it should be here soon. I want it for sitting at my desk due to that pulled muscle. I know some people have surgeons that send them home with one.

You're only 38 pounds from your goal...and this is a tool. I don't know...maybe ask the family to not have the cheetos, tacos and sugar cookies in the house? I'm not sure the answer, I'm sorry.

Sigh, I'm also discouraged by protein. I've bought so many at GNC and taken them back. Today I got pure protein chocolate from walmart and was loving it. Mixed well with milk, tasted good..I was stoked! Then I noticed....it's 100% whey...not 100% whey ISOLATE. So, I don't even know what I'm absorbing in that crap. I just needed something until my unjury order gets here. I ordered 2 chocolate, a vanilla and unflavored. I already have the chicken.

I'm sorry it's bad right now. I'm only 17 days out...but I feel better and better. i left the house and wen't shopping two days in a row and even cooked. I had tilapia last night and tonight.

Have you been passing gas? My pain left a lot when I got all that gas out. They threatened an enema, mine wasn't going anywhere and you probably are swollen...but gas release will help that.

This was mine EXACTLY. I called the surgeons nurse. She said I pulled something. I sleep on the left of our bed. So that big incision pulled when I tried to get up cuz my cat flipped out in the middle of the night. She said: As long as you are passing gas, still having bowel movements, no temperature, there wasn't an actual bulge like a hernia and there was no heat or redness, to just keep an eye on it and call if anything gets worse.

I did try. I couldn't find anything that made me comfortable.

I'm sorry. I hope you feel better soon.

I hate sleeping on my back, y'all. I cannot wait until I can sleep on my side again. Every time I try, it is just so darn uncomfortable.

Yep, I did it. Next to my belly button. Hurt to sit, bend, sit up. Ugh. Just a horrible PAIN. Was also tender to the touch. It's slowly going away but freaked me out.

"lunch" I just had 2.5 ounces of regular fage with 6 THIN slices of banana and a teaspoon of sugar free apricot preserves and one splenda packet mixed in. It was delightful. Plain and simple. GOOD STUFF.

"my profile" "edit profile" "display name" apparently you can change it 3 times a month or something. I changed mine due to privacy...and even though I'm being super open on my facebook and life, I don't want real people following me here.

Mine makes crazy sounds that seem to have nothing to do with hunger. If I drink cold water, I have gurgles and cramps past the pouch. If I eat, it makes crazy monsters inc sounds for hours. I mean hours upon hours.I barely last night!

Didn't effect mine at all. I've got hashimotos (severe under active thyroid--auto immune my body is actually killing it) and I've taken 150. Mcg of synthroid for over a decade. Course, I'm not losing super fast either and right now I'm on my 3 week stall

you look great! And congratulations on the loss and maintaining!!

Does anyone else have like crazy digestion sounds for hours after you eat? I had tilapia tonight and I feel fine.... But it's been hours and the sounds of my own body are keeping me awake!
