  1. Today's NSV....I can fit my size 10 shoes again!! They are even a little loose! AND I have this shirt that wouldn't fit over my hips. I decided to wear it tonight (going to a concert) and it's actually loose around my hips!!! YAY MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

      And I was bold enough to leave the house in them with no flats! lol! I haven't done that in a long time!

  2. The feeling of food in my throat! I microwaved some chicken wing for my son and threw in one flat piece for myself. That was about an hour and a half ago. I took the skin off and just ate the meat but I think maybe I didn't chew it enough and now I feel like its just sitting in my throat Help!!!

    How long does it last?

    Awesome. Thanks! I usually try to stay away from Panera because they have this bagel I love! But I'll try their turkey chili. I'll probably make some sooner though.

    Thanks. I thought it would be fine because its that frozen honey BBQ chicken with a good amount of sauce....I won't be making that mistake again lol Do you make your own turkey chili or do you buy it?

    Mederma or scar cream?

    my scars are almost not visible and I'm 2.5 weeks post op. Once the scab falls off the biggest one I'll know about that one but I really do think it depends on the person....and the surgeon too.

    No BM in two weeks?

    My doc never mentioned to me when I should have one but I had my first one Monday, surgery was the 10th. I was prescribed liquid Colace to use as needed. I never used it.

    Yellow tongue! Yuk!

    I had the same problem post op. It went away. I don't know what it is but I don't have it now.

    This is hard....

    Whoever said WLS surgery is the easy way out should be slapped. I'm so frustrated with trying to get used to this. Trying to get in 2 Protein shakes without it taking me 6 hours each! Plus Water or tea or whatever. And forget trying to actually eat something in addition to that....oh and throw in the bucket of chicken my father thought would be an awesome idea for everybody to eat right in front of me lol!! Sorry for the rant.....but I need help! (Not with the chicken part. I thought it was rude of them but I got over it lol)

    Gym

    I just want to use my eliptical or my stepper. I'm hoping my doc days it's fine when I see him Thursday. I think I can do weights at 4 weeks out.

    Unsupportive Primary Care Doctor

    My PCP was all for it but she also stressed changing habbits prior to surgery. At my first appointment with the surgeon one of the first things he said was "none of these surgeries work, they're all crap...." and right before I freaked out he said "unless you put forth the effort" scared the $hit out of me lol! But the best decision I've ever made!

    Share your Costco staples!

    I love those salmon patties!!! I used to buy them an put them on bread. I am on pureed/mushy foods now. I wonder if they are okay for me to eat. I'm getting tired of creamy soups! Lol I'm gonna look for those chicken skewers next week. They have some pretty good chicken meatballs there too. I'm not sure of the nutrition info though.

    I am HUNGRYYYYY!

    I tried 4 different kinds of broth pre op and one post op. They all made my want to vomit! I could could eat one meal/day on the preop diet but the day before surgery was all clear liquids. I just had eater and sf popcicles mostly.

    I am HUNGRYYYYY!

    And so dang evil! I can't wait to eat something! Anything!!!! 9 days post op (and 13 lbs down)and everything makes me want to vomit! Lemon zinger tea and ice cold diet snapple is all I like!! It's like my security blanket. Lol I can't be the only one going nuts right now...

    What is a typical day of eating for you?

    13 days P/o. Today it was premier protein "hot chocolate" breakfast. 1.5 oz liverwurst with horseradish mustard for lunch. I'm having diet s apple now. I will probably have 1/4 cup of lobster bisque (strained) for dinner and another "hot chocolate" before bed to get my 60g of protein in for the day.

    This is hard....

    @@Jazmundo permanent is right! I laughed with a friend at how I got full off of less than 2oz of food today. But yesterday....whew Lawd!!! I was going through it! And the fact that I didn't even try to get in protein wasn't helping. But lesson learned. I'm figuring this thing out one day at a time.

    This is hard....

    Worked like a charm for me.....except I had to keep reheating it lol! Takes longer than"normal" to drink it so it kept getting cold. But at least I could get it all down.
  21. Is anyone taking this? I haven't figured out how to tolerate them but I can't afford to let it go to waste.

    @@dms724 you may have just saved my life! I love hot chocolate! I added a little unsweetened cocoa powder to it and I'm in love!!! I'll get this down in no time and still be able to eat something! THANK YOU!

    This is hard....

    I figured out that I can only tolerate the premier protein if its plain. No extra anything in it. But for some reason it still takes me forever to drink it.....its only 11 oz! BUT I can drink water or diet snapple much faster....its weird.
