Tons of Fun

Hi All, My doc had me loose 10% of my body weight pre-op. I went on an all protien shake diet to do it and then ended up gaining some of the weight back during xmass. So I ended up doing another month of protien shakes. As you can imagine the very though of one of these protien shake things just make me sick. I had my surgery 30 days ago and Im looking for another way to getting 30 grams of protien without taking in too many calories. Are there waters with large amounts of protien, pills, any other simple solution. Thanks, TOF

Thanks all. I do feel a little better. It wouldn't bother me as much if I had eaten something high in calories, like ice cream. What bothers me is that I ate solids that could cause a slip, specially when Im a self pay and don't have enough to get a repair. I kept thinking, "what a jackass, you might have lost $10k of work over $2 worth of bread." Well nothing I can do now, other than to get back on track...and boy have. The experience was unreal. Now that I think back on it, the whole thing seem so frantic. It was like being on auto pilot. I wasn't focus on anything other than my plate....so gross. I guess I know how I got here...lol Thanks again, TOF

I had my band place about 14 days ago. No pain at all. In fact, I dont even feel it. Im never hungery either. Then I went to a party at my sisters house and ate like a pig, even though I wasnt hungry! I had a small snow crab leg, a tablespoon of mash potatoes, about 3 tablespoons of ice cream, a 2 inch square of french bread with 1/2 inch of cheese. It was all like a dream. When I got home I sat there in total disbelief. I definately cant trust myself in those situations. I feel soooooo guilty. Now Im worried that I may have caused a slip. I didnt feel anything at all. I dont even physically feel like I have a band or like I've had surgery. Its amazing. I feel nothing at all. My doc said I could have thick cream Soups by now, should I got back to Clear Liquids? Yikes TOF

my doc gave us a cup of coffee the day after surgery. All he said was no dairy, so we had non dairy milk.

I hate them all but I think Equate taste the best

Im 12 days post op. Im never hungry. I still have mental cravings but my body doesnt seem to respond to them in the same way. I am, however, bord out of my mind. I LOVE to eat while watching tv and now tv just isnt the same without a snack. I feel a lot of anxiety. Im not sure what to do to with all my free time now. Sometimes I actually feel like I want to scream.
