How much time r u guys allowing between bites?
-
I'm not sure if it is really stuck but it feels that way. I drank a a small amount of milk & it has seemed to help a little but I can still feel it a little.
-
Ok guys I really need help! I feel like I have a pill stuck. It's annoying an a little painful. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ASAP would be good too!
-
Walmart but u can look online to find other places that sell it.

Ok since no one responded I'll let u all know. I've tried Shamrock Farms protein shake and it is great. Best I've tasted. If your having problems with the taste of protein shakes I highly recommend this. 190 calories and 30 grams of protein. AMAZING!!!!

Has anyone tried Rockin' Refuel by Shamrock Farms? I've heard it is great.

Anyone find that going back to work was awkward? Not sure if people are intimidated that I'm loosing weight or what. I have a very stressful job and have a lot to get done in day. So I'm sure there were things missed before I left but not sure why it would feel this weird. Anyone, anyone?

Today marked week 2 for me. I'm on soft foods for two weeks then I get to graduate. I've started to ground my own meats so I cut as much fat off as possible. But my weight loss is at a stall. My md told me yesterday to weigh myself everyday first thing in the morning but I think during times of a stall that might frustrate me more. Not complaining I'm down 24 lbs. not too shabby.
-
FOOD!! Fat free refried beans & a little cheese never tasted so good!!! But my weight loss seems to be @ a stand still. Having a hard time with that.

I thankfully have not thrown up at all. I've started to feel a little nauseous. I'm so tired of protein shakes & protein drinks in general. The thought of them make me nauseous. I have my post op visit today.
-
Sorry to say when I burp it feels like it is coming back up. I think it was too much too fast. What do you think?
-
Question: I feel fluid in my esophagus. No pain or heartburn. Just feels like there is something in the back off my throat all time. Is this just too full? Any ideas?
-
Hey everyone. I'm on day twelve & down 22.7 lbs. could feel the weight loss more than I could see it but I'm starting to see it more in my face. Super excited. Had some rough days. I've cried for no reason but it surely helps. Get to start soft foods this Wednesday. So I'm looking forward to that. Had some mild nauseousness today but other than that doing well. If I walk too much I feel lousy. Also got some unflavored protein powder today to help get it in. It has 24g per scoop. We will see how that goes. Sounds like everyone is doing well for the most part. Keep up all the good work!

Hi all. Haven't been on in a while. Today is day 7 for me and I'm happy to report (but please don't think I'm bragging) I've lost 17.7 lbs since last Wed. My weight loss has begun to slow down so I figure I will see a stall sooner than they say. I'm struggling with this liquid thing. I did have a moment tonight and had a couple bites of chicken. Just needed some flavor. Made sure I chewed really well. I know I still have to wait till next week but I was weak and it was REAL protein. I hope all of you are doing well. I did find a decent protein "juice" called Proto Shot 49. 49 grams of protein in 3.2 oz of fluid. Got the fruit punch flavor. Bought 2 bottles today @ Vitamin World. Don't know if you can find it online. It's doable and if you can drink 2 of them a day u r set on ur protein & spend the rest of ur time on water. It's kinda thick like so that's the hard part but love that I'm getting more protein with less fluid.
-
This is really hard but well worth it. I've lost 10.5 lbs since last Wednesday. Can't wait till I feel like I'm getting to eat. Yeah! I'm so glad I did this while I am young. I think age is a real benefit in my case.
-
Ok everyone I'm super excited today. I'm down 6 lbs and I had surgery last Wednesday. I still struggle with wanting to eat food but fighting those urges is paying off! 6 lbs in 4 days is impressive. YEAH!!!!!
-
When did u have surgery?
-
Can't wait till I'm on soft foods. I want to eat so bad. I want lick the salt off a chip. This is going to be hard.
-
Hi everyone. I'm home. I'm not feeling full. I feel like I can eat anything. Anyone feeling this way. I'm on day 3 so I still have surgical pain. I've not tried to eat. Sticking to my diet but I keep hearing people say the struggle with getting their protein & water in. I've slept a lot today but any time drink I'm not feeling full.
-
Discharged. Headed home soon. YEAH! Mild pain. Very tired.
-
Mild pain & super tired. Able to walk. Been doing plenty of walking today. No problem with getting water down. My mouth is super dry.
-
Good morning. Slept off & on. Really tired. I've walked approximately 5 times. Pain level is doable. Yeah!

I'm officially in the system!
