@@2happily That's good to know thank you! I won't die if I lose it so I will just have to deal with it too if it happens.

@@SuperDave Disgusting.

Everyone is just so different it hard to Say what's "normal" and not. If you weren't hurting I guess that's a good thing. I am 3 months out and have 0 hunger..ever. I don't know if it will come back or not? Maybe I'm not "normal" I also don't eat a whole lot (still get most of my nutrients and protein from shakes and quest bars) I have no issues eating I just don't...BUT with that being said I get all my numbers in protein, water, vitamins, and I've yet to lose any hair...who knows we are all sooo different!

Nope. I did a two week liquid diet.

Hospital gown the first night. I took a shower in the am and put my own clothes on.

@@Aribay1 When was your surgery? I thought we were pretty close mine was 11/3. I haven't lost anything so I'm kinda waiting for it....

It defiantly does get better! If we all stayed like that it would be a miserable WLS world and nobody would behaving it done...that's your proof. I know it sucks in the beginning but in a month you will not even think about this time. Hang in there!

@@Pepper123 They are high in fiber! I drink the smooth move tea and have never had any issues with constipation. It works, and I get at least 100+ grams of protein a day so I would Be asking for trouble if I didn't.

@LipstickLady. Lol!!

I drink the ready made shakes In chocolate (premier protein) I've been drinking them Since pre-op. Syntrax was too sweet for me (I can't stand the fuzzy navel still, I have a whole container wasting in my kitchen) I'm 3 months out and can Just now use the PB cookie syntrax . I use a half scoop in my ready made shake with a bit of added water. If you need to add some water or milk to thin them out a bit do it. I wouldn't Stay away from them they have a wonderful amount of protein (especially for a newbie) just adjust it to your liking. I love ready made. They are super convenient and no clumps. I have no doubt you will find a good one for yourself. Good luck!

Does anyone know if then whites seeds taste any different? Mine are brown but I read they also come in white.

@@mrs kaje Hi, I didn't time them but I would say about 10-15 minutes. I was just experimenting. I measured out about 4 tablespoons and add Maybe a cup of water. They got thick like they do when you just let them sit but they also (finally) became soft. I used them twice last night. I'm pretty sure that's the only way I will ever be able to eat them.

Congrats!

@@Countrygrrl Me too but we don't have it here ;( so sad. I tried making it once, you'd think it would be simple...not so much.

Well that's a choice. I wouldn't eat like that. I have no hunger and when I do eat is not much so I physically couldn't do that BUT even if I could I simply wouldn't, And you won't either if you want to be successful. Now, are they only eating a few bites? I have no food issues so if I wanted to I could eat a few bites of junk too. Maybe they are just making Crappy food choices but can't eat much?

If they come back up tomorrow after I drink them I will know it's that creepy hand pushing them back out.

@@Pac-woman Thanks! I sing that dang song ever time I say chia! I also invasion The chia zombie hand which doesn't help the cause!

I think most of us are not complete morons and as grown adults will chose to do as we please. I also believe that we are each smart enough to make our own decisions in what we want to do as far as nutrition. Asking a question and getting multiple different responses isn't Going to prompt someone to not adhere by their unique plan unless again that's what they chose to do as a grown adult . Nutritionist are not the "gods" of bariatric surgery either. Nutrition changes all the time. Science changes the way we eat. Yes your NUTS job is to give you guidelines on what you should be eating but it's not the holy grail. Your NUT is going by a general consensus of what they feel a wls patient should be eating. Seeing as how all individual bodies have there own chemical make up it is literally impossible for ANYONE to tell you exactly what YOU have to eat to lose x amount of weight. WSL doesn't come with an automatic weight loss guarantee. So I myself (being over 3x7) will take the advice from my NUT but will also incorporate What I feel is working for me. Just like any other human with a functioning brain. I have yet to read any post where someone is telling another person to "not listen to their healthcare team and follow what they say" nope not even once. People will share their experiences and give options on what works for them. You either learning something, Try something new, or you chose to read and move on. It's really that simple.

Congrats! Godspeed!

Omg!!! I boiled them and they turned out soft!!!! I'm so stupid excited about it!!! I have them chilling in the fridge for tomorrow. I think I will add it with my chocolate and PB protein shake! This is fantastic!

Pho is my favorite soup ever!!! @@BLERDgirl

One of my friends on My FB said I can boil them and they get soft...I wonder if that will kill the nutrients though?

@@BLERDgirl Is that like the bubble drinks? I drank them when I did my contract in Hawaii. Tapioca beads soaked in sugar and put in a drink?

@@MeAndTinyTina Yay! It's nice to have a well behaved sleeve isn't it! I drink The smooth move tea and have yet to have any constipation issues. I haven't had any milk since surgery..11 weeks. Maybe I should try the milk.
