So I made my egg this morning Mcdonalds egg McMuffin style instead of boiled and it’s going down easier. It’s moist, Water did the job without having to use butter or oil 😁 added a little cheese. 10.3 grams protien only 2.4 grams carbs. And 142 calories. When I start eating more I’ll add ham so a healthy egg McMuffin without the muffin 😂 also quick note—in an emergency an egg McMuffin is awesome without the McMuffin. But only emergency 🚨

has anyone tested positive to the H pillory bacteria after the biopsy they run on the stomach they take out? I did and dr send me with the same amount of pills I took when I had my whole stomach! So finding time between when to eat; wait for liquids before and after food; the normal pills for reflux the give you; vitamins; and know all that antibiotics 5 pills plus another 2 to protect your stomach...I don’t have enough time in a day the space them out ... :(

Love this idea! We're trying to figure out where we could put it that wouldn't drive the cats insane. Ha!

They'll still go after it. The youngest sees anything new and has to tackle it. He's silly. I thought about putting it behind a door that is rarely closed.

How many carbs per serving are too much? Saw something with 14g of carbs but 8g Protein and only 1g sugar?? Not sure if that’s acceptable or not. Idk I might put it off for now.

      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.
