I'm on throw up number four. I can't even drink water. I think even tho I can't feel it really, I think I may just be full. I'm not trying anything else for the rest of the night. Ugh. Worst mistake ever.

Omg!!! We're twins. I just got cod at the black sheep tavern in Cambridge and it was a little over cooked. Dug into it anyways faster then lightning an the combination of the dry fish and eating to fast made me toss my cookies for the first time. Twice actually. I finally got it up and feel so much better. Still feeling a little funny but other then that I'm good. Also this is in no way a bad review of the black sheep tavern for those living/visiting Boston. They are very good. My friends filet mignon was to die for. At least that's what she said. I didn't have any.

Sausage it is!! That's fine I like sausage more the bacon anyways.

What are everyone's thought on bacon and do you think it can be eaten in the soft food stage? I'm going to a breakfast buffet tomorrow and so far I'm probably going to be stuck with just scrambled eggs.

Maybe see if your friend wants to do this with you. I went through something similar with my best friend an it turned out that she just wanted to do it too and was disappointed that I didn't tell her sooner. I had my surgery 5 weeks ago and she'll be going to her informational session the first week in August. Unfortunately we do get competitive when it comes to dieting so I'm kinda glad we didn't do it around the same time. We can each take our time and lose at our own pace.

I haven't found any good protein powder. I'm sticking to the ready to drink for everyday use. I did however make protein Popsicles out of the powder that are really good. Only the chocolate have been good so far. I tried the vanilla for Popsicles and they have a whey smell/taste. Yuk.

I did too. It was awful. For some reason the thought "I knew this surgery wouldn't work for me" actually crept into my brain once or twice. But that was just me being a negative nancy. Shook that off and increased my exercise and protein. I've lost about 10lbs so far in a week and a half.

I haven't had an issue with any fruit so far. My fav is cantaloupe. I feel like I'm craving vitamin c alot and cantaloupe definitely hits the spot.

One thing I really miss is chugging a bottle of water. I was usually instantly hydrated. Now I'm lucky if I can finish one before it gets warm. I usually take a big swig and swallow it down in a couple of gulps but its not the same. ????

I'm only at 45 today and I'm totally stuffed. I can't eat another bite. I have a strawberry and a lil cool whip free in the fridge waiting for me but its not gonna fit.

Check with your nut. I didn't start mine until a week post op but every doctors different.

Ugh. I keep eating too much and get this awful full feeling. I'm nervous that I'm stretching my pouch. I only had 1.5 ounces of meatballs and I feel like I'm going to bust.

My nut says 8 weeks. Can't wait. I want something crunchy and fresh

1.5 ounces of turkey meatballs with light tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese. Yum

On my way to my very first support group. My dr makes us go to one a month for a year. It's on managing summer activities. Sounds interesting.

Oh thank god. I don't have Facebook and they didn't put anything on the app to say they were having issues. I thought I was going crazy. Lol

For those of you that use it, is anyone having trouble with myfitnesspal app? Mine just won't sync. I got it to work last night after an hour of trying and now I'm back to the same problem this afternoon. It won't even leave the first screen. It just says synchronizing data.

I saw these at Walmart! I was gonna get one and try it out.

My family got fried fish to close out an amazing weekend. We've spent everyday on the boat since the fourth. Went to Martha's Vineyard yesterday. So beautiful. Anywho, everyone got fried fish so I was good and got broiled haddock. Little did I know it came with bread crumbs on top and swimming in butter. I scrapped of the bread crumbs and blotted the fish on paper towels. Then I caved and had a bite of the bread crumbs. Big mistake. Felt like crap for about 45 min afterwards. Lesson learned.

I found this site that might help everyone out. It shows the best options at some of the major restaurants. http://bariatricdiningout.wordpress.com/ Enjoy!!
