Spaz80

Hi. I'm just getting back into posting and thought this was a good place to start. B: Protein shake (made with milk) L: Bologna & cheese sandwich, 3 Dos-i-Dos D: Not sure I saw someone post about pepperoni and parm and wondered what that was. Can you share? Thanks!

I think I'm in the same boat. I was losing and then I've gained back two pounds. Doesn't make much sense. I've got to stop getting on the scale every day too. When I was home from work right after and I got my scale (it was a gift) there was one day where I was on it like every hour. I think it might have been just the idea of having my own scale. Who knows. I'm hoping to get on the losing track again here soon though.

Just keep in mind that most sugar free candies, if eaten in large quantities, has a laxative effect. So don't eat too many in one day.

Now I'm wondering about business lunches. Can't really share meals there. Guess I will see what happens the first time I go to one when I get back.

I got a card at my three hour pre-op nutrition. It is on the back of my surgeons business card. It simply states that I've had weight loss surgery and to allow me to order from the children's or senior's menus. I haven't used it yet since I'm not up to eating a lot of food. I think I eat about 2 oz right now. My concern right now is the conferences that I attend. I have one coming up in September. I put on my registration form that I needed a chicken breast and mashed potatoes with no sauces for my meals. I'm hoping that they will help me out. They have been good to me in the past.

I signed up today for this website. I'm on there as Spaz80. Joined the VSG group too.

I have UHC. I went through a six month supervised program before anything could be submitted. Then I was told that I might have to appeal, but woo hoo I didn't. Got approved the first time around.

I'm feeling the same way. I was told yesterday I could start on soft foods. I thought woo hoo I can eat more than just popsicles, protein drinks, and jello. Last night I had an egg with some cheese. Today I got up and couldn't bring myself to eat anything. So it is a challenge. I'm hoping it will get easier. I know too that I have to eat in order to give my body the energy it needs to make it through the day. Just seems kind of tough when eating is not something on my list at the moment.

Hang in there. I hope everything is OK and that you continue on your journey as quickly as possible. Sounds like you have had a rough time of it.

So my mom is making her some dinner, following her special protein diet. She's eating something called turkey ham by Jenni-O. She's currently cooking it in a pan with some olive oil. Boy does it smell good. Oh and she's having an egg. I can't wait to try some of the stuff she comes up with when I'm eating solids again.

I have to take B12. It is good for energy and your metabolism. I would take extra.
