Wanted to clean my whole apartment. Got my pantry and most of my kitchen done and my belly feels like I did a million sit ups. I still have so much to do. Ugh!

Yes I am. I can't stand them but I do take them every day... I feel like they make up a meal on their own. Lol

I took RJ's advice and broke up my morning Protein Shake into two and I've added a third for when I'm driving home from work in the morning. So I'm getting a minimum of 65g just from shakes. I was also only eating once a day and have been trying to make it twice a day plus three shakes and 2 or 3 just water/hydration breaks while at work. Moral of the story..lol upped my Protein and Water and I feel better! Thanks everyone for the advice.

I am only allowing myself to weigh once a week. For the Friday weigh in thread. That's it. It's hard but I don't want to be taunted with the numbers game. I'm really struggling with exercise. It's 100+ degrees so I haven't been walking my babies. I have a treadmill that got buried by my ex during my surgery. Must find another way to work out!

Find a mall, they are air conditioned and lots of walking , for no charge

I stalled at week 2 for a full week.

I too seem to have stalled this week (Week 2). I hope it doesn't last long!

June 24 here! I was in the hospital for 6 days due to staph infected hematomas. I had three and my surgeon had never seen anyone with more than one! I'm still on strong antibiotics, but already on regular food. I had nothing in the hospital so I guess my pouch healed quicker. I was doing really well with food until today. I ate something stupid (Pop Chips) and am pretty sure I'm having my first case of dumping. It's mild - mainly just nausea and rapid heart rate.

I have most of my problems with liquids. Before surgery, I loved Water, Vitamin Water, Crystal Light...now I can't drink any of it. The only liquid I can drink that doesn't make me nauseous is tea! Weird!

Anyway, though I had some complications and am sick as a dog right now :), this is the best decision of my life. I've lost 27 lbs since I left the hospital and other than today, some off and on nausea, and pain from my incisions, I feel great. Well worth it. :)

I too think I hit a stall. I am 2 weeks so I think it is pretty normal so I am not stressing too much. It is hard for me to tell though because I am traveling and away from my scale.

I found Healthy Choice fudge pops at costco. They are delish!! They have 100 calories, 1.5 fat, 4 Protein and 16 carbs. That's 3 over what my NUT wants me to have, but they have 5 Fiber, and only 5 actual sugars, so I am going with it and being thankful that they have 4 protein!

Went for my 4 week follow up appt today. Down 24 pounds which is great but I've only lost 4 in the past 2 weeks. Why is it we have to beat ourselves up so much? Surgeon is happy but we're watching for stricture because I seem to have solid food "catch" too often, or maybe I'm eating too fast even though I don't think I am. HW 247.5, CW 221.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
