    How much to eat?

    My first week will be 2-4ozs of protein shake every hour and liquids only. Liquids need to be less than 5 gms fat and less than 5 gms sugar (including protein shake).
  2. @@rdharri It makes me sad that your husband has said these things and made you feel horrible! The fact that you know he "has a huge issue with your weight" is upsetting. It may be that he's insecure himself and afraid of the changes in you and your confidence. Don't let him bring you down. This is not about him! It's your body - your health and your emotional well-being! I would be open and communicate with him about your feelings and his fears (if his attitude is coming from fear). You may want to consider counseling - either together or at least for yourself. Stay strong!
  3. Omg - I am laughing my ass off! This was a good way to start off my weekend!

    Depressed

    Talk to your PCP. It's unusual for the weight loss to trigger this at 6 months but you never know. No one should feel the need to live with anxiety - there are meds that will help and therapy is good at anytime!

    Going that long without protein shakes is harsh and unhealthy (in my opinion). You need protein to heal and function!

    There's very little that can be done aside from plastic surgery. Congrats on your loss!!!

  18. This is not WLS related but I wanted to send prayers to all those impacted by the terrorist attack in Orlando. 50 people have lost their lives and 52+ more injured - it's absolutely heartbreaking! I hope all our Bariatric Pal Family are safe as are your loved ones! Orlando Strong!

    The waiting.....

    @@biglady904 I would call and get a status. You don't want to wait around and find out that it's sitting on someone's desk or wasn't received as you thought.
