What size are you, if I may ask? Cause you look just as small as the "kid" in the picture! You are gorgeous!

I've had things not agree with me one day, then fine the next..

At a week out, you really aren't going to be hungry. What I did was sip, sip, sip.. It took me all day to drink a full Protein shake.. I had half in the morning, half in the afternoon.. in between that I had Water, water, water. At night I had Jello, or broth, or Soup. Your new stomach is still irritated and swollen, so no, you probably won't feel hunger, and if you keep sipping all day, you wont' either. You did mention you felt hungry, then said you didn't have head hunger.. and weren't hungry. At this point, you can't "listen" to your hunger cues, because you probably won't have them. I think it will be awhile till you can do that.. I made the mistake early of going to long in between meal times and had some dizziness and lightheadedness. Some of these ladies have been around the block awhile, its best to pay attention to what they are telling you..

I really liked egg drop soup.. I felt like I was getting a little more and the taste was so good. Its super easy to make also.

Sure, I'm inviting anyone to add me.

Feel free to add me on MFP: Chrystee

Very small sips and bite.. chew it up well.. even greek yogurt. I let it melt in my mouth sort of, first.

I did this with greek yogurt. It's a terrific protein boost and taste like pudding. Hmm.. good idea with the yogurt! I'll try that.

So what did you say to Number 3's insult? And he would have issues if you got fat again? What about when you get married and have a baby (if you plan on it).. then what? That means he is going to leave? I'd dump him.. I've been married 15 years.. and although I was smaller when I got married (size 18).. I've gotten bigger since.. this is the first time i'm actually losing and will probably be thin. the positive side tho, is that you'll probably want to work out with him, and you can get a rockin bod.. but people who don't have compassion for things that we can't always control concern me.

I was choking through one Protein drink a day.. it was hard to really get much down, so I was basically sipping it all day.. once I could move to softs, it is much better. and yes, I got sick of the sweet tastes.. once I could have eggs, plain greek yogurt and white fish, I was so happy.. so yes, you will get there.. 1st just make sure you are getting in your liquids/water, then focus on Proteins.

I'm 3 weeks post. I can eat one egg.. maybe 3/4's cup of soup.. only 1/2 container of greek yogurt. I limit starches/carbs. Get your Protein in first.

9 pounds is great. seriously.. you won't lose weight every day. Normally I lose, then stay the same 3-4 days, then drop 1-2 pounds. just keep going. try to limit weighing in if its going to frustrate you. keep going. follow your rules..

@@Hertsukfem31 what are malteasers?

You look amazing!

It will get better! I started feeling more normal about a week out, and by a week and a half felt great.. every day it gets better!

Agree. I did lost 55 pounds doing Paleo/crossfit and cardio, but I had to still watch my carb intake. My fat intake was higher, but the carbs killed me. I actually have PCOS, and doing a whole 30 then paleo got my body so regular that I had normal cycles and got pregnant.. unfortunately, I couldn't tolerate meat or much of anything after I was pregnant and gained it all back.. ugh. I think the biggest key to paleo is cutting out processed foods. EAting more naturally.

I eat a paleo diet.. but low carb.

Egg drop soup helped me immensely. Are you drinking protein shakes?

Not really, but I went through that prior to surgery.

I told my boss that I was scheduled to have surgery.. I said I was having a minor procedure and would like to work at home for 2 weeks.. He said that was fine with him, and here I am on my second week.. You don't OWE anyone anything, and he's really not allowed to ask. If he is concerned, just say, Oh, just some stuff I've been putting off..

I love almond milk in mine! Makes them so much creamier than just with Water. and I would love a pickle right now!!

Did you chew it really, really well?

LOL Agree.. Those are the ones you will see who had a "failed" surgery.. or regain. I don't plan on going back to my life prior to WLS!

@@agalindo17 Keep trying.. try different kinds.. make sure you are getting in as much liquid as possible. Lots of water.

I was driving (stick shift) the Monday after my Wednesday surgery. I had no restrcitions other than not driving on pain killers.
