Damn y'all went through a lot.....I can't complain about anything I went through after these posts....

I'm from Texas.....all #freestyle......

I made Turkey Chilli and Turkey meatloaf......it was pretty good....

I try and eat as much protein as I can daily...but when that doesn't work I add a shake....I don't even count calories. Just grams of protein and grams of carbs.....

Raspberry was the only one I could drink...

Stop weighing yourself daily..... Pick a day a week and weight yourself that day..... If you can't mentally handle that, then pick two days....Lets Say Saturdays and Wednesday...... Doing it everyday will drive you Bat Shyt Crazy.....

I guess you're doing ok.....LOL...

Let it all hang out my friend...lol...

Been castings shadows a while now.... just cool to see greatness reach new heights....lol...

I started lifting immediately....light weight....lots of reps....that won't create much strain on your core. I'd wait until 6 weeks PO to try and gain strength with heavier weight....but that's just me....muscles....get them...it'll help the process greatly...that cardio only stuff will have you looking like a grape...

Eat all the watermelon you want... it's fruit.... enjoy.....think I might go have some as well.....that sugar from watermelon isn't going to make or break anything....it's natural sugar...

What are you telling a gossip anything.....?

Great....keep on keeping on....

I didn't get all horny again until after I got back on soft foods, then I was good. His body is probably still healing and in a bit of a shock. Get the T checked and then be patient....it'll all work out.

Yes to all that......Its a marathon and not a sprint......you just have to deal with it until you heal and everything is better....no magical answer....its hard....its tough.....be tough....and you'll be fine.....

Oatmeal alone is not ideal, but adding plain protien powder to that is acceptable like described earlier like soup.....as it was told to me...it's just like eating a protien bar....

People.... Stop weighing yourself daily or every other day.....pick one day a week and let that be the weight day.... you'll drive yaself f#ching crazy with that daily shyt..... This is a marathon....not a sprint..... Feel better....clothes fit better....eat better.....plain and simple....

I took a week.....and I have a highly active job....but I did relax/sit the first day or two when I thought I was getting tired.....

That's all that matters.....You're fine...

Are your clothes fitting better? Are you getting your protein in? Are you getting your water in? How much are you walking daily?.......but most importantly.....are you clothes fitting better....that's really all that matters....

What were your expectations?

As I read through these posts it has become pretty clear that obesity is truly a mental condition. I saw this process as a tool to better myself, but a lot of people think its a catch all. Some people miss food while some get depressed about not eating. I wonder if more psychological stipulations should be inacted before a proceedure? Any Thoughts....?

Gandhi didn't have food issues though....LOL....

I see a lot of lost people throughout this site. Insecure about every aspect.of the process, and emotional struggling post op I'm a bad way. Maybe the psychological stuff would be better directly after the process, then people might not attend if they've already had the procedure. I see a great deal people not ready for the journey. Hard to look at with a passing eyes....and hard to comment on without making someone cry simply by trying to provide realistic responses and not general fake support. If that makes sense.....
