October 17Th'ers.. Where Are Ya?

[shellbell12 1]

I'm still exhausted. Even on my good days' date=' if i do something like go shopping for a couple hours, i'm pooped the rest of the day! I think it's still a little surgery aftermath and also hard because we aren't really having food yet, so we just don't feel our old selves. This is my first week back to work and it's killing me already! And i have a desk job![/quote']

Glad to know I'm not the only one... altho I must admit I am feeling much better 2day and each day ... I hope it is the same for u ....

What stage is everyone at?? Im on pureed/ soft foods and have been for a week!

I start soft foods next week. I'm ready for some soft sweet potatoes and cornbread dressing!

[flawlessly73 20]

What brand of unflavored Protein do you use? Is it really unflavored? I tried again this morning drinking my Protein Shake and cant do it' date=' i gag everytime. I have spent so much on so many different brands and i cant drink any of them.

Also, do you think not getting enough protein will slow my weight loss? I am only losing about 2 lbs a week since my surgery. It seems like everyone else is losing substantial amounts.[/quote']

I bought Isopure and I love it!

I'm in soft foods and although I'm happy to finally be able to eat its more like a job then a pleasure

:-( I try to just have something with Protein every 2-3 hours.

So is everyone on the FB page now? Too bad, i like the privacy of coming here as opposed to everyone seeing my posts FB style :-(

It is funny how time makes such a difference. Feeling overall pretty back to normal except for food quantity and that i've been on a two week weight loss stall. Haven't dropped a pound! Bizarre!

No I'm still here. I'm like you not much for FB post lots of my friends know but A LOT. Do not and I wanna keep it that way.... I 2 feel almost back to normal still on protien shakes with minimal food .. I think I'm kinda scared to eat when I'm out because it comes up and I feel like everyone watches me eat... ughhhh I too have stalled out at 35 lbs. How much have u lost up to this point?

It's a closed group, no one can see your posts except for the group!

Im staying on here... I like the privacy as well. I was stalled for a week. Upped my cals and started to lose again, 2 pds overnight!

I too, have been in a stall, I'm so bummed. The shakes are making me constipated. I focus on what I do eat has Protein, but still fall short of the recommended 80+ grams a day. It takes so long to eat a quarter cup of any meal that I end up eating cold food. I live in a house with 4 men, if I don't grab that little bit when do, its gone, not that they are uncaring, it just happens. I know there are things I could do differently, but to be honest, I feel overwhelmed. Starting back to work has been a challenge, there is no way i can go to my job and not lift 15+ lbs, and I'm getting help as much as I can. It's just not possible. If I take sick leave, I don't bring home as much money as I would if I worked, because i get paid mileage ( which can be 300+ a pay check, so no small potatoes in my book). I need to put on my big girl panties and keep on keeping on, hopefully the small chances I can make will help everything catch up.

I don't trust FB enough that they'll keep closed things closed. They are notorious for doing behind the scenes updates that opens everything up again and all of a sudden people find their privacy violated!

You've lost 35 since surgery? Wow, i'm really behind it seems. Since surgery i've lost maybe 20. But i did have a long stall, then seemed to be up 6lbs (how is that possible - i track my drinks/food, and am around 700 cals a day). So i guess i just hold on for the ride, and hope it picks up a little to make up for lost time LOL
