Topic: RE: unjury unflavored for food? - has anyone tried? what are your thoughts
So latley Im having trouble getting all the protien in i need. I started with WHEY powder making shakes, got old after a while ( even trying new flavors just the milky fullness), went to EAS strawberry 25g of protein, got old after a while, moved to ISOLATE (sp?) for juicy content, a little too filmy? currenlty trying cytomax fruit punch protien 40g and loving it, but afraid it will get old.
So ive heard of this unjury , unflavored powder you put on food? how did YOU like it if you tried it? My hair is my comfort zone and i do not want it to start falling out in 3, 6, 9 months ( as some horror stories ive read). i KNOW my heart and liver need the protien.

Topic: RE: Last minute jitters / cold feet?
I am 23 DAYS out and can already tell you, its the best decision I made. I didnt really have the second thoughts before surgery but MAN did I after in my "Hell Week" post opp. I asked why I did this to myself. I am not going to lie, that first week is HARD, PAINFUL , and EMOTIONAL. but its just a small price to pay for an amazing rest of your life. Alot of people post things on her that discouraged me but trust this 23 days out girl. You can do it!
Topic: RE: "Wendys Frosty Protein Shake ;)"
My mom is 9 years out & she has shown me some AMAZING things. One I would like to share with you guys is the "choc protien frosty" lol
I scoop of vanilla WHEY protein
2 packets of sugar free hot chocolate powder
1/4 packet of suger free vanilla pudding powder
1/4 cup of vanilla SILK milk
add cubed ice, blend to smoothie and WOW! amazing , dont even taste the WHEY and it reminds me of a chocolate frosty from wendys! lol
another cool tip my mom has shown me is how you can always add extracts like COCONUT and make drinks that kinda taste like an almond joy!

Topic: RE: what were you able to have at two weeks post op
Every doctor is different so the responses your going to get are going to be different as well. Today I am 24 days out and on wed started my new food phase. I am allowed to have/start trying fish like crab, shrimp, salmon, eggs, cottage cheese. I was actually going to post today to see what others think because those are the "exampples" on my sheet and I was curious as to what else falls in/around those foods. Had flounder for lunch/dinner/lunch , want something new lol
Topic: RE: 23 days post op. -30lbs so far!
wow thats so awesome! & YES!!! I can agree so much in the fact that i notice EVERY food place and pizza commericals . I still crave and want that food but when i stop and break it down, you have to go back to the day before you were 30 lbs down. That is a food youve willing knew you would give up HOWEVER i must say, my mom is amazing and has shown me sooooo many things you can use to substatute to be VERY similiar to what you crave. Homemade pizza can be so good and so healthy! Youve got this. 10 more pounds for life feels better than pizza for an hour.
( as i write this Im returning home from a family outing, first time i ate in public, and where do they choose, Chinese buffet. I ate a few bites of crab, shrimp and salmon and i was full. it was HARD to walk around the buffet knowing what i would have gone RIGHT too pre op. but nothing beats looking in the mirror knowing, I did it. I stopped before i was too full, I ate the right food. I did it. You can too

Topic: RE: 8 days post op What a change from 5 days post op!
Your very welcome, I remember feeling that way and no matter how many people told me itll get bettter and youll feel better (including my mom who is 9 years post op lol), it doesnt change how you feel in that exact moment. I would literally yell into the silent air waves of my room. Every journey is different, just FOLLOW THE RULES. its okay to cry, just TRUST me, 8 days conpared to 5, i dont even think of day 5 as much as the upcoming day 9, you can do this.
Topic: RE: first time out to dinner with husband. lots of restriction.
Yay! Sounds great, so where did you ended up eating and what did you choose? I work at olive garden and was kinda dreading having to return to work in march with all the smells and what not, and now post op, Im not worried at all, i crave the good foods lol anything beats mash potatoes for me now! lol
Topic: RE: 8 days post op What a change from 5 days post op!
Hello All, I just wanted to post on here my excitment ! When I was 5 days post op I was posting on here how awful i felt, I felt like I had done something wrong. Today is day 8 and I cannot believe the difference I feel in myself, my body, my emotions. Today was the first day I WANTED to put makeup on and go out into the world. When people say it will get better, it really does. Now that my pain has subsided I know its up to me to keep this feeling going. Staying on track with everything my body NEEDS. Remarkable feeling. Cannot wait to be one month post op. When i started this journey august 9 2011 I was 247 pounds, weighing in today at 214. I am so proud. I am so happy. I feel so.... like me :D
so to those still going through hell week, I know it sucks but it really does get better!
xoxoxoxoxo

Topic: RE: 6 days post op-feeling wrong
I am 6 days post op. I had my surgery done on 2-10-12. Each day was getting better than the next. Today was my first post op appt. My doc says everything looks great from my blood work to my scars. yet as i come home, im exhausted, ive never felt so tired, so sad, so just fatiuged in my entire life. I am young, I am 21 years young, Im a full time student and a full time waitress and even tho im not attending neither school or work right now, when i look at myself in the mirror, my face looks pale and dead. just weak and sad. when will this end? it makes me feel like ive done something wrong to my body.
