I added mine to my coffee yesterday morning was very happy! BAM 30grams protein coffee and then added to my soup had 60 grams before 11:30am! Awesome! I never get my protein in and with this I'm thrilled!

I'm loving my weight loss! But here come tne wrinkles in my face! Ugh! Any good suggestions for it and also scar cream for the scars!!! Thanks!!!

Where do you get silicone strips?

Had a great dr appt yesterday! 20lbs down since surgery and inches falling off like crazy! I'm only having a few issues getting all that protein in! My question is tomorrow I get to start full solid food! What was the first thing you had?

Nioxin is excellent! I lost all my hair in 2007 due to cancer and as soon as I could started using this!! I have long thick hair now and I'm gonna start taking the biotin to help just in case! Right now I'm only 5 weeks out!

I'm not quite out a month will be on the 20th. I'm in the mushie stage since Thursday but didn't try till today! I took one egg, added a touch of milk seasonings then scrambled with some cheese. Did a runny scramble, then mixed it in with a couple of spoonfuls of cottage cheese! It was sooooo good! I was able to eat about half of it! It was a great way to start off the morning!

One of my favorite things when I go onto solids is my crockpot! One of my favorite recipes is skinless chicken thighs, throw into the crockpot, season with salt, pepper and what other spices you like to use, squeeze a whole bottle of Italian Dressing over the chicken. Put the crockpot in low for 8 hours. And when you get home it is done! I usually would serve with a roasted veggie!!! The meat is super tender and melts and I think it will be ok for my tummy! Of course unless my taste has changed like it has with some items! Lol

Hang in there! It does get better! Yesterday was my 1st week post op! I could not believe how good I felt! Scary good! I'm still on liquids for another 2 weeks! Just take it one day at a time! And she is very right about pandora! Find some good music to sleep to! Take care and hugs!!!

Well I've done pretty good so far except the first night home! Gonna wait till next week to even worry about the protein when I'm on fulls I think as long as I get my water and liquids to keep me hydrated that is the point of the first week! Tonight was heaven! I was so sick of beef or ck brooth I remembered they said we could have veg soup but drain out the vegs!! I think that just saved me! It was Wonderful!! Just wanted to share for those that are so sick of just the broth!

Ok sleeved on the 20th finally got to go home last night. Threw up as soon as I tried to drink water at home! Walked some then Went to bed! Woke up at 2 to take the anti nasea meds started dry heaving! Can only get a few ounces of liquid at a time!! Tom going to try some isopure, to get protein in!! Ugh any suggestion????

Thanks everyone! It only happened twice but was miserable when there is nothing in your tummy! I am able to sip the isopure they sent home but there is no way I'm getting in all my fluids at this point! I'm walking a lot so I figure that is good and farting (tmi) but hey it's getting the air out!

Sleeved!!!! Feeling tired but that's about it!! Everything went good! Walked the halls twice, and now watching tv and eating ice chips! Thanks for the prayers!! I'm so glad I found this site and made new friends!!

1: I can't wait to be able to paint my toenails! 2: I want to be able to sit on the floor and not have trouble getting up! 3: I can't wait to lose this weight so I can finally get my last boob job after having a double masectomy!! These are just a few I have so many more things I'm excited to be able to do!! Getting my sleeve tomorrow so I'm really excited and not afraid anymore!!! What are some of yours???

Ok guys! I'm on my way to the hospital! Very calm except my mothers driving! Lol!! Surgery is at 9:00! Keep me in yours prayers that all goes well! Looking forward to a new me! Will update later!!! Thanks!!!
