Everyone is doing great. My 1 year will be 10/26/2019. My weight loss has slowed down but that is because of me and stress. My doctor's goal is 140, my goal is 130. Best to all of you!

Check out this link. I've found it useful

I can't believe how far I've come. Still have work to do but I'm getting there. Wow! You guys have been great!!!

Me too!

You are doing fine. It is your personal journey. All the best to you as we all find our way. Just glad you are here to share. What is important is what your surgeon thinks. Don't worry, all things will come in time. Congratulations for taking charge of your life!

Thanks I will check out the options that all you posted to see what works

I've never tried that one. I will check it out ... I figure there has to be solution I can't be the only one that has had this problem. Thank you @frust8

You guys are awesome thanks for the advice @amy6152

Happy New Year!

Things are getting better. Food allergies have been a challenge. Can't tolerate any type of milk protein or anything with a milky texture. Very sensitive to smells and have some aches and pains. I'm a little worried about some of what I've been feeling. Have several doctor's appointments lined up this week. Hope they can resolve my problem without a hospital stay.

I had no idea about this! Thanks for mentioning it - I’ll have to check with my doctor!! Thank you for the encouraging words ...

Screaming SOS .... when the heck will I feel better. I'm getting really depressed. I did this so that I can do things with my grandchildren, For the past 5 weeks I've been sick as a dog therefore not able to spend any time with them ... FRUSTRATED. Why the hell did I do this to myself?🤢🤢🤢

Thank you for the information. I've never heard of the brown cow but it sounds interesting.

I need help. I had my surgery 10/26 .. . on soft foods but everything including water makes me feel like I'm choking. Burping alot. One of my friends told me that I am losing weight to fast and that it is all mental. Mind you this is a skinny friend who has never had a weight problem in her life. I've decided to cut her off for a while because I don't need the negativity!!! I'm also struggling with constipation ... I've tried everything and can't go. I'm going back to the doctor tomorrow. I've been losing a pound a day and have lost over 30 pounds since surgery. Any suggestions?

@Butterflydreams my nutritionist told me that if you are not getting enough in nothing would come out. But I'm taking milk of magnesia today to see what happens. Its been more than a week for me.

I had my surgery on 10/26. Go for my post-op appt tomorrow. For the last 2 days I have not been able to stomach any type of protein shake or soup. All I can seem to get down is water. Not throwing up just feel stuffed.

I was tempted. Talked to my nutritionist she told me not to do it. I see the doctor on Thursday 11/8/2018. I brought some sugar free fudge bars instead ... they help. She also told me to try cream of tomato soup and cream of chicken ... remove all lumps. That has satisfied me for now. But I will be glad to eat real food ...scrambled eggs sound good.

I had my surgery on 10/26. I only told my closest friends and immediate family. They are all very supportive. Not everyone needs to know. People can be judgmental and who needs that ... what is most important is you did what was right for you. It is your personal journey. I had someone at work ask me what type of surgery I was having and basically told them it was none of their business besides it was a HIPPA violation for her to even ask and since we are not friends I didn't have an issue with telling her to back off

I'm over the liquids too! I hope I get cleared on Thursday 11/08/2018. I'm so sick of artificial flavor .... I can't wait to eat something healthy ... I crave greens, spinach, kale ... anything green... but of course protein comes first

I can relate. In the end I just stopped talking to people and just decided to do what was in the best interest of my health. It worked out and I'm glad I did it.

I have the opposite problem ....

Congratulations! I hope I'm that lucky. I can't seem to get in enough protein or water.

Best wishes and speedy recovery.

Congratulations!
