I was a very avid soda drinker. And I have been craving it insanely. 😩 just a long shot but are there any alternative? Is flavored water ok? The carbonated kind ? Or is carbonation just out of the question ? Thank you in advance.

I’m in the same boat as you and I just figured out I needed to up my calorie intake too. Hope it works for you and me both 🖤

Yo be honest i had surgery in Mexico didn’t get many instructions. I’ve kinda just been learning on my own and using this site to gain some info. Highly considering a nutritionist now.

Thank you for the info. I just wanted to know if it was harmful to my pouch. 🖤

Hey everyone. I am 6 weeks post op. I did great the first month losing 28 pounds. But I am not losing any weight and I’m scared and frustrated. I’m at 32lbs and have not moved. I even think I gained 2 pounds. I have only been drinking protein shakes for the most part. Some times I eat eggs when I can stand it. But protein shakes seem to be the only thing I can handle. Especially since back at work. I haven’t gone to the gym yet but I’m on my feet at work for 10 or more hours and I walk on my 30 min lunch break and have been doing exercise videos a couple days. Do I need to exercise more ? What am I doing wrong. 😩

I do about 13k steps a day and stand 8-10 hours at work. Constantly moving. So I naturally thought eat less calories and burn more. I do about 13k steps a day and stand 8-10 hours at work. Constantly moving. So I naturally thought eat less calories and burn more. I was also under the impression that I wasn’t to go over 400 calories

Sounds like I need a nutritionist 😩 no one has told me any of this. I also want to do it safely yet quickly. I have found that I’m scared to eat calories but with this new information I need to rethink my eating.

You’re right. I thought of that too I don’t have a nutritionist. But I will start using MyFitnessPal pal again to monitor because I think You’re right. I’m sure I’m no where near that.

Very very true 🖤

You’re so right I am having a bunch of non scale victories. I think measuring myself would help me feel those little victories even more. Thank you 🖤

You’re so right. I guess I need to just let go of my expectations of this miracle loss every week. Just hard because the first month was so amazing. Thank you so much 🖤

hey everyone. I had surgery November 13. I just started actually eating things like chicken veggies eggs. And it still really hurts going down. I’m trying to chew forever and I feel like I’m chewing enough but it can get really painful to eat. Is this normal ? Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes. You don’t realize it until you can’t chug. Ive been struggling with drinking. Getting my water in. Just because you have to do it so slowly. 😩 I feel your pain

I’m sorry I hope it gets better. What does your doctor say ?

Thank you I do too. It’s more painful going down not the actual tummy once it gets there I’m fine. Lol I actually think I’m just not chewing enough. 😩

I don’t think it’s new life. Lol at least I hope not we’re stoll fresh. I haven’t felt full yet either which worries me too. I don’t feel hungry either. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Are you having difficulties swallowing too?

Thank you ☺️ You’re right honestly bringing the groceries in the other day after walking around the grocery store for an hour felt like a lot for me I got super nauseous And winded. I think easing in is a good idea. At least for me

Hey guys I’m 16 days post op and just wondering if anyone was told they could start doing cardio exercises at two weeks? And when were you approved to work out?

Yes I’m excited to go exercising I had some weight drop pretty fast and I’m just ready to see what I can push my body to do! But I’m also still lazy do there’s that lol and this not working thing is not helping.

Wow that’s amazing. I felt so weak and fragile after surgery lol.

Ok great. That means some walking or elliptical time would be ok. Thank you

I had my surgery the same day! How was thanksgiving for you ? I stayed in my room all day binge watching Netflix 😩

Yes that’s exaclty what mine says. Hope you feel better soon too 🖤

Thank you for the info. I got locked out my page somehow lol but I am definitely keeping an eye on it 🖤
