missecua

when was your surgery? no you shouldn't do that... bring something you can eat! You'll be better off in the long run

I was told by my surgeon this is normal and is ok as long as nothing is eaten and rinse out your mouth when done I am a month out I do it with bread sticks lol...

im a month post op.

sorry - stay strong and beat those nasty feelings - i know you can do it

That's ok actually! It happens differently for all of us. I think it's just your stomach returning to normal. Stay within your stage however.

We are similar in initial weight. The day after I returned from the hospital following surgery, I was 242.6 pounds. Ten days later I was 226.4 pounds. That is a weight loss of 16.2 pounds. So it sounds like you are on track.

Congratulations!!! That's awesome I celebrating with you and I am inspired by this!! Wishing you continued success!!!

Maybe sugar free syrups or flavor extract if its already sweetened?

GL you will do fine!!!! I am 5 days post op and feel great and I am a big cry baby but not now lol

Wishing u a speedy recovery.

Today is the DAY! YAY! You are going to do great!

thanks so much i will def try and move on from this

i have otherwise been very strict on my liquid diet

one thing my NUT was adamant about is that we are going to trip up once in awhile...but it's only for that moment... not that day, week, month, year... so take it one meal at a time... after the procedure you really won't be craving that junk... I am amazed that my favorite snack is raw almonds now... LOL..."who'd a thunk it" LOL

This is s journey. There will be bumps in the road. The key is to get right back on track. Dont get discouraged or beat yourself up because thats how we give up on ourselves and lose motivation. Remember we are human. We fall down and we get back up. Keep it moving girly. You got this!

All going to be worth it! Just keep swimming swimming swimming!!!

Oh Good! Just keep reminding yourself its all going to be so worth it! One more day down only a couple more to go

yes .counting down lol so u liked premier ? ima going to have to try those cuz isopure vanilla is not the best .

I started week two today. It gets better by day 3-4. Goodluck

Watch the sugars in oj

yes. account for the sugars and count calories. I get trop50

If you are making them yourself then you can add flavored extracts to them.

Hi! http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/ is somewhere I have found some ideas. I bought some sugarfree syrups to add. I honestly think all the protein shakes I have tried are pretty gross. Its like the high protein ones are hard to mask the taste without the sickly sweet taste. I do like the premier ready made ones from costco. The vanilla one from walmart I think its body fortress seems to be okay if i add orangejuice and almold milk or a teaspoon of decaf coffee with carmel syrup(need something to counter the sweetness in it). :)I think I may try an unflavored one and add my own stuff too it, like extract, stevia, and fruit! Let me know if you come up with something good!

cool thanks . i just purchased isopure natural vanilla ...any input on that one? i will def try and go to walmart and try "body fortress".

thanks again for your help

YAY You! That will be here in no time! Congrats!

congrats! my Dr. gave me a specific plan to follow. 5 protein shakes, one meal( 4oz lean meat with greens/veggies of choice)a day.

thank you for your comment,,, yeah my dr gave me a packet at oriantation..hopefully here i can get a more ideas
