I loved Isopure before surgery... can't make myself drink it now... ugh

I'm a little confused Valerie, are you planning to get RNY or some other surgery this month? While we'd love to help, we're all new or upcoming surgeries and don't have a lot of advice to offer the longer term postops yet. Maybe the post on the TX board named "Emotional Eating" could help you? http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/TX/postdetail/235698.html?vc=0

No but what I used was the blue Carnation Instant breakfast and then added a protein powder to it.

After not being able to get on I am back. I am stalled and need a kick start. I find myself, feeling sorry for myself and then eating thinking well I desire this. I have tried to state that I desire to be healthy more, or just get over it and do something else. But some times it doesn't work. I have gone from 292 to 220 and want to go to to 150 to 160.

Im so sorry to hear you are feeling so bad. I had surgery March 5. Iam doing great! I did or should I say I have experienced the awful pain on the shoulder and chest. I couldnt drink any liquids I had to freeze everything! Just a couple a days ago I was able to drink the water. Of coarse I drank to much and hurt my chest. The Dr. Told me itwas because of the tube they inserted. My Dr. Has us on liquids for two weeks then we start to introduce the puree foods. And remember its all but sipping now. Theres no gulps or big drinks. Its not very much we can fill our pouches with. So if you are drinking or eatting to much it will come rightout. Or drinking it to fast. About your urine got to get the water in. I ve drank crystal light and have noticed that my urine is very yellow and also has an awful smell so I just keep with the water its clear. Just make sure u do call your Dr. Hope you get better very soon. Love mia
