There's nothing wrong with setting limits on a date. The world in general thinks they will end up in bed it doesn't have to b that way..stand out...let them no yay or nay..if the other respects an is willing to just enjoy good conversation an or movie an dinner out with no pressure that's great...best wishes: )

Exactly. ..I have to not fix a drink most time...if I drink I can barely get a few bites in...

Nurse told me to just small sip if I needed to just takes me longer to eat! I still can only get 4 or 5 bites at one sitting....I eat about every 2 o 3 hrs...

No regrets here!! I pondered over this for 15 yrs..when 2 of my specialists referred me this direction I knew it was time an for me!! An with hashis an other diseases the weight was goin to continue to go up...best thing I've done for me an no one else! I am 3 wks out an 35 pds down an inches are the biggest change..starting to feel sexy again! I needed this tool..I can only get about 4 maybe 5 bites in..but food is no longer my crutch...I have had 2 yrs of therapy an I no wat my underlying causes o turn to food for comfort was...issues settled! If you have a eating disorder this won't work if your using food to comfort...if you have a love for food need to get help for that first...have to change behavior. ..u can't do it on our own..it takes professional help...learn to eat to live not live to eat...I stand by my decision. ..luving myself again an taking care of me..so I can be around to take care of others! best wishes...

Doin great! I had lost 26 in 11 days!!

Up here is southern Ohio!!

This has hit me yesterday. .so yesterday I got in about half protein drank most the day..not really hungry yesterday or tday..I'll try an get back on track this wknd...Moe thirsty thin hungry. .I no I'm gagging to...nothing sounds good right now..I spent another 50.00 on a New whey unflavor protein mix I couldn't stand the other anymore. ..I no how ya feel..bored!

I'm taking a natural gummy multi, b12 shots wkly I give myself, calcium chewy, d3 small pill, biotin is tiny pill...

I havnt read all threads but are u adding protein powder to ur water, foods that it can be added in?? I have several scoops a day I add the unflavor to applesauce, soups, my ice tea, I'm making diffused water by adding strawberrys cut up, cucumber, mint leaves an just let it sit all day in fridge then add a teaspoon hee an there...or it in a cup of hot tea or my coffee in mornings. ..everything I can I add protein. .hope this helps...I stalled about 4 days then all of a sudden it showed I dropped 4 more pds...I also use ketone stix to p on to see if I'm still burning. ..it helps me. ..

I'm doin it to...I'm getn energy but fatigue fast in afternoon I think I'm doin way to much thru out the day...by late afternoon I'm wore out. Iv been forgetting to take all my meds i'm going to have to wrk on that starting tomorrow. .but I'm feeling really good since surgery. .the last 2 days I havmt been hungry drinking a lot though..

Congrats an don't be nervous have fun an show that new bod off!!! U deserve it!!!

No ...I've only tried the pure protein drinks which wev already used them over the yrs..but I have the chike from hearing it on here...I think I've seen that brand just havnt tried I hadn't heard anything about them..I want a meal...soo bad! But I'm detaining myself bc I no it's off limits for just another wk...lol..I'm slowly reintroducing soft foods..I'm hanging in there..I weighed awhile ago I've dropped 35 now! So proud of myself. .. finally have gotten something for a solution to this long time letch can't wait till it's gone!

I used the unflavor whey I would ot a spoonful in everything I would eat an drink...even in my hot tea at night a teas would go in..I have recently changed brands on the unflavored. .I was gagging on it..but I did do the pure Protein shakes 2 x a day for a 2 wk period before surgery. .I also use chike nutrition. ..but I add to yogurt teas coffee I have applesauce Soups...u name it if I can add it I do...

I was more thirsty then hungry today. I did get some protein but not near my goal..it's the first since I've been postop. Not goin to worry about it. I'm wanting food! Had a few small things today. I chkd in myfitness pal..I have had less then 600 cal today. Which I'm pretty sure that's still the most I've had yet. I made some infused water been drinking it the past 3 days..nbetween. maybe that's keeping my appetite down tday. I baked a pear while ago..sprinkled some cinnamon a touch of butter an drizzled some honey over it. I've managed to eat half of a half..the other is going back in fridge...I seen some others this wk not having much of a appetite how's that going?? Otherwise I feel really good. Yea I get fatigue if I do a lot still pace myself...but that's been away of life for me for 10 yrs or so...hoping when weight gets off that will improve not holding my breath..

Usually by my 3 or 4th bite I slowed to the point of stopping an so I would sit there a minute or so an pay attention as to wat I was feeling. Usually that's when I just stop eating.

In my manual it also says protein shakes are counted in with the 64 oz a day goal.

Hey...are you having indigestion? Do u take reloads or anything for acid reflux? That would be my first inclination. .I have more in the evening at times an I end up chewing a tums. .I also have pepcid an nexium. ..I'm having to watch after about the 3rd an 4th bite myself..sometimes I wanna just down something I get so thirsty an hungry..lol...have to keep reminding myself can't do that! Maybe someone else will have another idea...get feeling better!

R they extended release? I take wellbuterin but mine aren't extended release so I can cut mine in 4ths. .if there xr u can't cut..call ur pharmacy to make sure. I am 2 wks post an I can swallow it whole now..but I take 3 of them thru out the day supposed to..I might get 2 in...did u go thru ur med list before surgery an see wat was available in liquid or able to break? U realy need to take them...hope u feel better soon..

Wow...seeing we are all over the place with days of when to start pureed foods an soft solids. I had 2 wks of liquids then 2 wks of pureed..I just started phase 3 yesterday which I'm 2 wks postop..weight seems to be stalled at the moment..I went up 2 then back down 2..so I am still 31 odd in 2 wks...I'm not complaining just stating..experimenting with a lil here an there..ate out for the first time today..I just got some soup beans an smashed in the juice..they were so good. I havnt done much added protein today n yesterday I am gagging over the unflavor whey I have...ordered me a new brand supposed to get it tomorrow. ..going out of town this wknd. ..going to b interesting but I'm packing a bunch of my things..

Baby yourself. ..learn to say no...stick to protocol. ..I've prepared myself for 15 yrs...the last 6 month's I was directed to this by 2 of my specialists an when they did I rusted an went for it...so happy I did..I no I'll have ups an downs. ..it all goes with it..love this forums. ..hugely helpful..use it an don't b afraid to ask! congrats!

I'm sorry your feeling like you are. I too have put up with the spasms..I had hernia repair also with it. My internists I seen him this past wk said with the nerve endings cut its to be expected it's not unusual. .he did keep me on my stomach med an he also wrote a script for spray lidocaine. .yes wat they use at dentist so it's to b sprayed as far back in throat yummy can possibly spray an It will numb as it goes down..might b something for u to look into. He did tell me expect 3 to 6 month for everything to heal inside being this is major... I'm just 2 wks an just started phase 3...but Iv still had just liquid Protein tday..I to Still feel hungry about every hr...I was hoping this would leave as well but u have to remember their is ghrenilin hormone also in intestinal tract...an acid makes u feel hungry as well...I hope this helps some...overall I still stand by my decision. ..so grateful for this tool...I think u will also it's just ur still healing...baby it..I knew all the possibilitys that could happen..theyr sometimes not all smooth going it's a behavior change an commitment. ..keep ur eyes on the prize. .chin up!
