    Lacking motivation

    I still snack on things I shouldn't but it's much less than before. Because Protein fills you up. Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

    Lacking motivation

    I was told to eat Protein first because at first you can't fit much. Now I am beginning to eat both protein and veg. Like beef and broccoli. Not much though. I am dropping pretty quickly. The more protein I eat the more I loose. Protein builds muscle and muscle burns fat. So protein helps burn fat. Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

    Lacking motivation

    I can't understand why you weren't given any info. My do says to eat 60-90 grams of Protein a day. That helps you feel full so you won't want the other stuff. Use Protein shakes or bars. Premeir protein had both and pure protein. Drink lots of Water. If that's hard try Vitamin water or sobe. Orange and straw/kiwi are my favorite. Tea is also like water. Hot or cold.

    Feeling anxious.... advice?

    I had issues with gas in the hospital but I am 2.5 months out and feel amazing. You have to remember that this is not a quick fix. This is a life changing thing. I would do it again if I could. I also lost 91 pounds in my own and gained all but 11 back. I hurt my knee and couldn't walk as much and needless to say will power just left. Think hard about it first but if you decide to do it, I think it's worth it. Just research and get all the facts. Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

    Where ever the biggest cut is, is where stomach was removed. Mine in right side center. Couldn't lay on right side due to being sensitive. It goes away. I am 2 months post op and for the last month or so I feel completely normal. Hot showers and heating pad helps with pain. Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App
