Topic: RE: I discovered crab cakes! Yum!
I use 3 parts greek yogurt to 1 part mayo. and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Old Bay seasonings Crab Cake classic for seasoning. Why am I talking about this while still on liquids?! Dear Lord!!!! Why!
I am still laughing about Walmart. I was anxious to find out about the place that they decided not to touch.
You can pick up the greek yogurt in most grocery stores. I prefer Fage brand... but most will do. Trader Joes is a bit less expensive. I think you can even pick it up at Wally World... lol

I feel real dumb now. I had no idea that Wally World was code name for Walmart. LMAO Yes, I have Walmart! I love the idea for subbing the greek yogurt for mayo. I have a good crab cake recipe and will try at home. BTW where can I get greek yogurt? Thanks All!

Topic: RE: What are YOU drinking?
Decaf iced tea for the most part, although sometimes the great value flavor packets for water as well. I also put 4 ounces of reduced calorie orange juice in with my fuzzy navel protein drink.
Topic: RE: What are YOU drinking?
I have been drinking water, Cristal Light and protein shakes...but I am getting sick of my current CL flavor! I'll have to go shopping for a different one!

Topic: RE: What are YOU drinking?
Mostly plain water, but I'm also doing some benefiber packets in the water to help things move along. I've not had any milk, but I was thinking about maybe adding a little in.
Topic: RE: Stall
I just posted about my stall and mine started at 2 weeks. It's really frustrating and mess with your mind
Topic: Thinking and re thinking
I keep thinking i made a mistake getting the lapband. I think it's because i have no restriction and i always feel hungry. I wish i would of researched the RNY. Maybe i would be losing some more then i am now. For the past week i am fighting the same 4lbs. they are here they are gone. Like stay away i dont want the 4lbs. It really does mess with your mind. I am not having regrets because without the band i would of never lost 21lbs in 2 weeks. But i just wish i would of researched the RNY.
Topic: RE: 5 DPO Not sure how I feel ..
I had my ds on the 29th, same day as your RNY, I am just getting back to thinking that I didn't have the biggest mistake - I am still hurting and nauseated most the time. I too did my research and having had 5 surgeries prior to this one, I thought I would do this one easy peasy. NOT. (two of my previous was a lap band put in and a hiatal hernia repair - this is was no different in my opinion) WRONG. I hurt so bad after this one, was so cranky in the hospital, cranky at home, no sleep, nothing... then came tuesday of this week (yep, two days ago) - I got my drain removed and felt better and got the OK for creamy soup - and felt better... and was told to start my vitamins - and felt better. Fast forward to yesterday - first time I didn't cry or sleep all day and started to feel like a real person again. Of course my family has been eating all my favorite foods, not to punish me but because it was there and cheap and easy, so i feel sorry for myself that I can't have it. Anyways - I feel better, and it is day by day, minute by minute. I hate the exercising (my doc requires minimum of 1 mile per day for first week then it goes up after that) cuz I just want to veg and veg some more. But - having other surgeries and recovered wonderfully from them, i expected to bounce back immediately after this one too. Wrong again. So it isn't just you. I have had buyer's remorse everyday since the surgery but what I feel is only because of selfish wants - not needs. You can do this!!! We can do this!!!!
Protein shakes are the best - and you will start to feel better... If it hadn't been the three OK's I got on Tuesday - I would still be hating myself for doing this. But thank God I did and don't hate myself.
OH and watch out for artificial sweeteners (like in low fat yogurt) - they don't seem to taste so good to me anymore. Wishing you the best and I know you will be great!
