I don't look at quotes very often, but I like the one you put in this post. I too am 4 weeks out today and I am very happy that I did this for myself, and now I have no excuse to not give it my all. I have gone through a very rough 4 weeks, but I am pushing through all that has happen and I am going to keep going!!! Stay strong, cause your the only one that can make this change in your life!!! Good Luck!!! -
I feel you, I just had my surgery 4 weeks ago, and I feel so tired by the end of my work day I could go home and sleep till morning. I work from 7:30 - 4:30, and when i get home at 5, I feel like crap, I am exhausted, I have no energy to eat, cook for my family, nothing. I am so ready for some energy to start kicking in. I think if you just got your surgery done it could be due to the healing and the lack of protein/carbs too. Im not sure in your case, but I think that is what is going on with me. I yawn all day too, I am always just tired, but I sit at a desk pretty much all day so that doesn't help either? Good Luck!!!

I always said the same thing twins, one boy one girl, all at once, but I know what I went through with one of my kids, and now I would say heck no!!! I had a hard enough time with dealing with one kid at a time, nevermind 2????

So a month out and I have lost 3" from my waist. I am so psyced, it's been a slow go at it, but I am healing and moving forward!!!

There is a head/vape shop down the street from me and I will have to go there and see what they have I didn't know the liquid came in nicotine free, which is what I would want, I don't crave the nicotine, as much as the hand movement and the mental part of being a smoker?
-
You know I didn't even think of that???? I should try that!!!

Getting in the protein?
pupichupi replied to pupichupi's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for all the advice, I found a way to get in some of my protein!!! I can eat those Quest Protein bars, but then I add more milk to my Protein shakes and I can tolerate them that way!!! I have to Water down the powder!!! Then yesterday I made some chili with kidney Beans and ground turkey, and YUM, it came out so good, and I can get it to go and stay down!!! I love it!!! -
Looking forward to this beautiful weekend we are going to be having!!!!

Jello has protein? -
Feeling great, incision is itchy as heck, but thats a good thing I know it's healing that way?
-
-
My incisions are itching like crazy and I used Benadryl cream. I am allergic to ANY type of bandage so I've had to use the cream for the rash since day one so, I figured I would use them on my incisions also. One of my incisions is leaking. Like you I had no stitches or staples. I had five incisions and only one of them leaks. It is FINALLY healing to where it doesn't look so gross.
-
Lorisia, mine still looks gross, I have to keep a gauze pad over it with the paper tape. It leaks alot and so I don't think putting anything on it would be wise yet? Once it's closed which slowly it is healing closed, but I still have like an inch that looks like an eye socket on my belly that is open and leaks? I deal with it though cause I know its getting there?

Thanks Chelle, I think that is what I am going to do too, I am actually going to stop at the grocery store on the way home to pick up some more eggs, and I am going to boil eggs and have them in the morning and then I am going to get a pork roast and put it in the crock pot tonight till the morning and bring some of that to work. I have to figure this out as these supplement Protein drinks aren't working for me, I did pick up some of those Quest Protein Bars though and yum, they are good!!! I can take those in too, and so I can use one of those daily if I want? We will see, thanks though!!! -

OMG, ok so I went to GNC at lunch to get an isopure, and UGH Gross, I got blue raspberry, I love blue raspberry, it is so sweet and nasty, it has a horrible after taste. I don't know what I am going to do for Protein at this point? Not to mention they cost $4.85 each with my membership discount? I am all set I think I will just find things to eat that will make up my protein, I am not drinking this stuff. Well I am going to drink this for today but after this nope I won't try another one???? Gross!!! -
I believe it is 1000 at first and then once you can eat normally non puree food, it's 1200 calories a day

Hey Cody, I tried the half water half milk thing and it still doesn't agree with my stomach? I am going to go to GNC and get that one that everyone has been telling me about the Isopure, and see if that agrees? I really hate that I can't drink the Protein drinks as I like them specially the way I used to make them with the chocolate and i would add Peanut Butter to it, yummy!!! I do eat alot of the greek yogurts, and I have egg whites for Breakfast, so those are really good sources of protein so I will stick to doing that but we will see what else I can do? -

Wallflower that is what I am trying to do too, is small things more times during the day to keep myself going. I eat atleast every 2 hours and I always try to make sure it is something good and has some form of Protein, like the greek yogurt, or cheese sticks, some deli turkey meat or the shakes which I am not a huge fan of now since they don't really agree with me, and i have tried to make them different ways with the Water at first, then with just milk, even almond milk and all the ways I make it it just doesn't work. I guess that's my no no? I just want to make sure I get in the protein cause that is what is going to help me lose the weight? -
