To people that are down energy my nut said to start taking B-12. You can get it so that it dissolves under your tongue.... it seems to help

It is on my NUT's list of Vitamins that I have to take everyday.

I've found Popsicles but not fudgecicles.. I'll have to try a few different places. I think that might help!

I got them at Wal-Mart and Kroger.... they're popsicle brand.... no sugar added

I have a bag of Sugar Free Chocolates. I've only had one. If you notice' date=' the serving size is usually like 5 pieces. Only eat one if you're TRULY craving it. Make sure you're not just needing Protein or Water (I have found this is the case for me). And when you eat one-- just eat ONE. Enough to satisfy the craving, keep fat low, and minimize risk of getting the runs. Lol I was ready to kill someone for chocolate when I had PMS last week. I bought a bag of sugar free Hershey bars and had one a day or two later when I was STILL massively craving them and it took the edge off. Could I have eaten more? Sure, but I need to practice self control and I'm very proud that I haven't touched them since. Actually, until now, I had forgotten that I put them in my junk drawer (a place I rarely look in).[/quote']

I going to wait an hide them since I'm only 1 week and a few days out. I'm trying to do the self control but some days the cravings are so strong it's all. Think about. Thanks for the advice!

I've been making Protein Popsicles. It's a cup of chocolate Protein Powder, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend really well and freeze. With the protein powder and milk I use its almost 20grams of protein and they are very creamy like fudgesicles.

Heading to my pillow for a few hours. Have to be back at the hospital at 5:30am for a 7:00am surgery to laparoscopically remove adhesions that formed around my intestines during my bypass surgery. I don't ever ask, but please pray this fixes all my issues and allows me to finally eat and drink like I'm supposed to and without pain/vomiting!

Hi I had my surgery on the 21st too. After reading so many posts I can't believe how many different doctors recommendations there are? I was allowed to go to phase 3 right out of hospital. My pain subsided after a few days and I'm not taking any meds. Ttys Stacey :-)

I left on stage 3 too. Hadn't heard anyone else say that until u.

Almost 1 month outta surgery and I've lost 37 lbs. I've had a couple probs tho. Im so burpy!!! Its ridiculous and quite embarrassing. Also for some reason since surgery I have really bad back spasms. I got back to the surgeon on the 3rd. Anyone else having these problems or have any idea whats going on?

Cyndi,

im having those too. my team said the following.

1. Belching can be a sign of fullness.but if it persists to make an appointment. i started measuring my intake more closley ( no more than a 1/4 cup) and most of the burping has lessened.

2. back pain/ aches and pains are common. apparently as you loose weight quickly you frame is realigning itself to carry your weight properly. it will stop. but until then my team recommended Tylenol extra strength to help ( only Tylenol!!!!)

Hope things work out. have a great day

RJ

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
