Same here with the cravings. With the protein shakes and all, I don't have crcravings for sweets. With my plan I can only have sugar free items.

My mother-in-law is like ten years out and all she eats is sweets. I would not recommend that though.

Yeppers sleevers can dump. It was that bbq sauce that did you in. I had the pleasure of dumping with after sipping Gatorade to take my crushed meds. I had two exits that day. I will not do that again.

j That is so true. I had it so bad that I had to take two showers a day. I t was terrible and I had it for a long time.

Good for you mskeisha. What else is in it,? I see that it doesn't have any sugar.

I know my NUT told me I ccould have some Triskets crackers. At this stage I could only eat one. I shared my crackers with my youngings.

My plan says no nuts.

don't be nervous. Those are awesome nsv's! Keep us posted.

I welcome you to the losers bench FLGrammy. Glad you are doing well and I hope you will have a good report on Monday.

Awesom nsv! Keep up the good work.

Thanks for this reminder.

Thanks for the article. I was always a fast eater. it is still a struggle being 5 weeks out. I must say that some distractiosn help me to eat slower. I do enjoy my food more and learned to add more flavor to my foods as well. But i find that the longer I take to eat something, I quickly lose interest in eating it. I will belch or sometimes just satisfied when it is time to quit and tell myself that the next bite could be uncomfortable.

Ah, you work for Apple. I saw on Rat Race Rebellion that they were hiring like last month.

Yes, that is what my NUT told me. He said my blood sugar was low. It kinda hard in the beginning when you cannot eat a lot. It seems like I am always eating. At almost 6 weeks out, i am allowed crackers. I did have my hubby buy me some Triskets reduced fat crackers. Its no harm because I can only eat one cracker, lol.

Hey Hey Hey. Motherofthree checking in. I think I am 5 weeks post op now. Pushing the water and the protein. I cannot even eat one egg in a sitting. But I am good with that. It seems like i am always eating. I try to eat every two hours. I do get hunger pains when it is time to eat, like now lol. I went back to having my oatmeal for breakfast and now its for lunch too. I feel awesome and blessed indeed. Glad to see that everyone is doing better this time out. It was not easy and for some it still is not. Let's keep focused and keep it moving. It will get better and you will come to love your new tummy. I know I do. Later losers!

Hello. We are about the same post op. I started to exercise and felt light headed as well. You have to compensate and make sure you are getting the Water in. I was told to increase my carbs a little. The body needs it for fuel. I also make sure that I eat something or drink a Protein shake before I exercise. When I did that, I did not feel light headed anymore. Listen to your body,its telling you something. And listen to your NUT as well. Why the big rush to lose weight so quickly? It will come off. Our bodies are still adjusting. Later loser!

Good job Galaxy girl. Let's keep it moving'.

Yeah, you said you went off the straight path. I wouldn't worry too much about it now. Just get back to your plan ASAP. And learn from what just happened. Thanks for sharing.

Hello and good morning to all you losers. @aredder: I love that site as well. It has some awesome food recipes and smoothie recipes as well. @@Galaxy Girl: thanks for the reminder. @ekh21ash: I hope that you can get things cleared soon. To everyone else, keep up the good work. Take your vitamins and meds, drink plenty of water, eat your proteins first and GET MOVIN'. Even if you are limited, a good walk is okay too. Later losers!

Now that I can increase my calories and eat foods, I add fruits or veggies to my protein drinks. Trying to get the protein in is not easy. MsMskeisha, try some kale or spinach in your protein shakes. Hopefully that will help you naturally. Plus you said that you are not eating much so that could be the reason too. Red meat! Yeah this is the first time I heard of no red meat until 6 months. But like someone stated, everyone has a different plan and they all seem to work. Later losers!

Hello Introvert, welcome to the loser's bench. Keep up the good work.
