I'm craving a Reese cup is it ok to have a sugar free one???

I am not supposed to have Peanut Butter yet. I think I can add it at 3 months post op.

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.

Had surgery on the 4th. I'm finally feeling great just a little bloated. I'm on the pureed stage so any concoction I come up with is delish. The more I walk the better I feel. Down 25 lbs so far.

Thats awesome!!!! Congrats

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.

Surgery: 6/5/2013

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
