So its taking me 30-45 min to eat a meal and wwll my food was constantly getting cold...and nuking it was just not making me happy esp since i walk away from my food and come back since the mini walks help...anyways...i bought a coffee warmer (9.99 at target)...and just use a small mug or soufflé dish and leave my food on there...works like a charm and small!

Lol me too!! I keep my soups in a small chocolate melting pot for cake pops that i got on clearance for 4.00!

Awesome!! 2 days until ur born again!!!

Ladyjustice...just please know NO ONE should be put down at any time ever...if thats your husband's natural way it is still NOT ok..and counseling wont change him but it will help you!

I looked up on Pinterest healthy appetizers... And and made a bunch of tbose and froze them...i cant eat more then a few bites at a time so reg size meals go to waste

Power crunch bar is the best 13gm of Protein and for those still in puree stage its perfect melts in your mouth!! Ok well maybe ill be the guinea pig by the time the weekend is out if no one else replies...always lookibg for ways to get liquid and protein in.

Feel free to message me privately if you like...happy to be there for you eap since i have been there....

Kelly forgive me...but life is too short you deserve better...i would have left him...i know many wont agree but i was married before and omg sounds like him...had i not left him i never wouls have met the love of my life...been happily married to him for over 20yrs now...you have only one life...why live it unhappy??

Oh and i drank out of a shot glass...to limit how much i drank and monitor

Temp, temp temperature!! I LOVED ice cold water...not no more..warm, room temp or hot...isopure has several flavors and each bottle has 40gm protein...i only care for the ice tea flavor...the rest i dont care for they are a bit expensive but just try them...aso i warm up my protein in the microwave just for a few seconds...not sure about your nutritionist but yogurt, ricotta,pudding,cottage cheese was on my ok list in the liquid phase both protein!! I made baked ricotta...so many ways to get your protein in....when i first got sleeved they told me not to worry about protein until about a few days later...to just focus on liquids...i did top ramen...flavors i liked just poured out the liquid...tossed the noodles lol...dr thought that was brilliant lol

3/21 here

Oh wow thats horrible...bottom line u nees to take of u and ur kids if u have any...sorry to say but men are options... My husband has been my rock through this...i cant imagine him or my kids not being my support...you need it...its only gonna get harder and it paints the picture already if hes not gonna be their for you...encourage him...talk positive the...when its all said and done...dont think now think long term....

Well mine is non stop for months!!!! Sometimes heavy most times just enough to wear a liner...no symptoms other then bleeding... Sucks for other things if u know what i mean!!

Welcome...i was the samw way...if i drank anything cold my stomach would spasm... All i drink now is room temp, hot or warm drinks...i bought bariwise hot chocolate taste decent and it has 15gm of protein...

Wow!!! You go girl!!! YOU did this no one else!!! Would love to see pics!

I really did not have to jump through hoops but i recommend the hoops cause so many think this is easy that its gonna be a breeze and its permission to eat what they want.... This is EXTREMELY hard...its a new life new beginning BUT its up to everyone to keep it going....

Prayers!

What are u taking med wise and Vitamins. I have a guess but rather you say what your taking first... Also when you do drink or eat what is it?

Well i have a desk job (office manager for a doctors office) so i was planning to go back that wed to be honest...but they kept me that xtra night in the hospital (that shooting was outside my hospital window btw if u remember!) So that did not happen..i got out wed...went in on friday for about an hr..but did go back half day monday and full day that Tuesday... I was fine..i mean a lil sore when i moved certain ways but that was only from having clothes on...before that i spent my days in sweats and sweatshirts! Lol so all in all i went back 1 week later...if u have a desk job 1 week is good 2 weeks is better... Re ins approval...let me tell u i threw a stink cause they did NOT have my approval the day of surgery and i have heard horror stories about getting stuck with a bill..however a week later i got the letter myself from bcbs approving the surgery... I think back to my first few days and omg!! Now i laugh..get yourself some disposable shot glasses from iparty cause thats how much i could drink at a time sipping...1/2 an ounce at a time! Sara is great! I really like her. The week before my surgery i went to the last group meeting and the other nutritionist was there..did not care for her...as a matter of fact i hate the meetings...i have NOT been to once since and until they make me im not going... I hate hearing people abuse thier bodies and STILL not eating properly and wonder why its not working...or why they gaining weight...i did TWO years! Of medical supervised weight loss at mt. Auburn...i got results and learned alot but ultimately my health was getting worse fast regardless which is when i started to consider this...and when others just willy nilly get it done with nothing more then a few classes it pisses me off so much... They should NOT be allowed to get the surgery...not everyone like that but many are and i cant stand it...hell even here on BP people like that. For those of us who are NOT over eaters and do watch what they eat etc its a slap in the face... Anyways im rambling...wish i know who u were...it will be ok...im rooting for ya an if u PM me happy to give you my kik,IM or text info so you can hit me up with questions...

Can you all chime in and tell me at what stage did you feel comfortable doing certain things? Im 2 weeks 5 days post op...and my husband is an avid gym enthusiast... I would go to the gym with him...and i want to go back...TO WALK..see how my body does...and i mean slow walk to start... The only restriction i have is no lifting over 15lbs. Which i don't plan to do any lifting for a while... ***So curious where did you start when you went back and what where you comfortable doing*** Yes i know im healing and YES I WILL take it easy not looking to hurt myself but walking around the house/work is not enough exercise

GDK lmfao

Went to my pcp today...guess what my labs look fantastic!! Everything she even said my bad cholesterol is non existent (never had that issue anyways) My chest pain is gone...or damn near...she felt around and said i probably i tore some cartilage in my chest..she explained the pain to me and it is exactly what i felt!!! She said take it easy so i dont regrivate it....consider it done! Lol My weight today is 158.2 Looking forward to hitting the gym in a few months.

Kittycathy22 we all here for you!!

I read that book its an excellent book..the best is how it describes your rebirth...think of all this like ur being reborn as a newborn you fussy, learning your body, discovering yourself...its not gonna be the same when ur a 2 yr old toddler u know what u can so and cant and u have the energy etc... My bariatric center has a library we can borrow books from and i borrowed it there...it has real life scenarios and stories which .ake it great.

Get a new hobby..nails, make up...make a new friend to replace the old one..im actually buying a dummy head to learn how ro braid hair fancy lol
