Nurse here too! Hard to have the energy without my daily coffee. I drink mine on the weak side so it isn't too acidic. I don't worry too much about the diuretic effect of coffee, which I think is the primary reason why surgeons don't want you taking it, they want all your water to count. So just make sure you're getting plenty of water in too.

LOL you're awesome!

Can't find the Revenge List.... where did you put it?!?😂

How much are you drinking? Do you stick to one drink or do you have many? I'm thinking a lot of drinks have high sugar contents and you might be responding to the high sugar load if you have multiple drinks.

Great work! Keep it up!

ouch. Not fun. Sorry its hitting you so bad. 😣

Lol I think we’ll all find that no one has a completely junk free food diary!

LOOK OUT FOR BOXES OF DONUTS TODAY! PREPARE YOURSELF FOR TEMPTATION AND STAY STRONG PEOPLE!

The struggle is real! It was very sweet of your coworkers to help by hiding temptations from you. Kudos to them for real! My trick to keep from eating tempting food is a mind trick. I picture that they fell of the floor of a dirty gas station bathroom or someone open mouth sneezed all over them. That flies and roaches had been crawling all over them before they arrived to the break room table. Congrats on your 100 pound loss - that’s awesome!

I made it!

It's unflavored, has a slight taste to it but not bad: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001I1NSUY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think its arguably more important to log your meals the further out from surgery you are. As my sleeve can accommodate more food and my hunger has returned its just too easy to be noncompliant with your eating plan if you aren't keeping a close eye on your calories and macros.

When my BFF was getting married and stressed about the wedding planning I would pick her up late at night, we’d drive through Krispy Kreme and pick up a dozen hot donuts and milk and drive around while she would vent. Fond memories but I haven’t tried a Kk donut since. I’ll just settle for the memories.

I’m safe so far! No one brought in donuts to work!!

My husband and I went out to a nice dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse where they bring the different cuts of meat around to the tables on huge skewers. Its an expensive meal but if you can afford it I highly recommend it.

Well I hope you're eating as though something changed. Are you following the diet prescribed by your surgeon? If you're chugging soda and eating cheeseburgers, then yes - you're doing something wrong.

Lactose intolerance can develop and I started to get bad gas, chewable Lactaid helps. You could also try probiotics. Protein powder! Add it to everything, even the protein shakes and yogurts. I'd throw it in my pureed food like hummus and refried beans.

CBC oil? It takes a couple days of dosing to notice a difference though so it may not help right away but could keep the pain manageable post op as well.

Bread does the same to me. Corn chips aren't a slider food for but other potato chips are. Lucky for me because corn chips are my favorite and I can have a few but not down a whole basket. Popcorn is a slider and I will occasionally go nuts on air popped. Greasy fried foods are awful. I can have a couple french fries but some items hold too much grease and my stomach doesn't like it.

Ooh! I like making those in the oven! Quarter slices of sharp cheddar or pepper jack and bake them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper! I like mine cooked at a higher temp to make them nice and crispy and my daughter likes them slightly chewier at lower temps. Sharp cheddar tastes like Cheese iTs!!
