Any February 2014 Sleevers?

[Jencovi 261]

I'm not feeling do hot either. But here is my full disclosure. I've been drinking caloric juices. I feel really bad about myself. I can't expect to change my horrible habits so quickly. For those of you that pray I could use all prayers I can get.

I will keep you in my prayers. I can totally relate to how you feel. I am not getting enough Protein in and it's purely my choices. I have to re-train my brain. Keep trying. You'll get there.

Thanks for the prayers & kind words. My Surgeon wants me down another 20 lbs by April 22. I'm feeling like a failure. I've not lost anything in 6 days.

Well cutting the calorie drinks will help. I am down almost 30 pounds since pre-op liquids. Water is the only thing I allow myself. I know it isn't easy. And if you need to go buy some crystal light of mio. Whatever works to get you off the high calorie liquids

Hi, I was reading your post about drinking the caloric juices. I can understand the boredom with Water. In fact, I can't even drink plain water after surgery as it always has a metallic taste now. I used to be a water fiend pre surgery. Now I buy SF Kool aid drops to flavor my water. It tastes like fruit juice but zero calories and it makes me get my Fluid intake accomplished. I don't know if you like the taste of kool aid but you might want to give it a try.

Sorry never heard of it. If you find out please let us know.

Is everyone getting both all Water & Protein in?

[Sarahjane79 397]

Will do! I hadn't pooped in 5 days and did a little last night, and it was white. I took some milk of magnesia and will see what happens. I'll also be calling my docs office Monday.

I googled it, and got everything from don't worry about it to OMG you're gonna die. Hahahaha.

I'll report back with any answers I get. just hoping someone has had I have happen before and knows what's going on.

Nope. Protein- for the most part, yes. Water- heck no

Thanks everyone for the advice. My friend had a glass of wine 6 weeks after surgery and she was fine but she said her alcohol tolerance is nothing compared to how it was before surgery. I do not want to feel bad just for one drink so I think I wont have any

I'm almost 4 weeks out and I've had a couple of drinks. I didn't notice anything really. Wine tastes really bad to me and beer is just too filling. I drink just goose on the rocks and a few sips coupled with the melted ice lasts all night. So you can still have a night out with your friends and blend in. At least I did.

4 weeks out and you've drank? Eeek. Not to be judgemental, but you're stomach stomach is still healing. Just seems like such such a bad idea.

If I drink shakes, I do. But I keep trying to eat protein and its not happening. I tend to prioritize water over eating. I know that's bad and I'm working on it.

[Sarahjane79 397]

I should start prioritizing liquids for a minute. I'm lucky if I manage to drink 30 oz of Water in a day. But I've been Eating lots of lunch meat roll ups (deli meat wrapped around half a cheese stick) and fish and eggsfor Breakfast. So it's not been hard to get 50-60 grams of Protein a day. But liquids... Not so easy.
