Welcome to day 4!

Morn'in y'all, I slept so good last night for like 10 hours!  I am sipping water and I don't think it feels as bad going down or either I am getting used to it.  I feel better about my sleeve today.  However, I do feel weak and dizzy.  Do you think it is too early to attempt an Atkins Advantage shake? Weight Wise instructions say we can have them as needed.  Am I just a weenie to need one this soon?

No , you are not a weenie. As long as it is one off your list go for it girl. You will feel better.

Hey Rita, Randy is telling everyone that comes by about the wonderful nurse that had WLS and looks so good. -Amy

Hi darlin-you just pushed one of my buttons-BRACE yourself...WLS is not about not ever eating again-it's about making the correct choices and quantity decisions.  There isn't a badge for starving yourself.  If that shake is on your list, have it.

If I had a dozen people to study on, I'd hazard a guess that resuming proper nutrition as soon as possible might actually kick start the weight loss....

Climbs up on pedastal and shouts *TEXTURE IS NO EXCUSE FOR BAD NUTRITION*****, bows, waves, blows you all a kiss and jumps off the pedastal (into a nice swimming pool since it's hot)

AW, Tell him Thanks.....That's way too sweet. I am having a antsy day at work. Just want to munch...........Driving me crazy. See, it never stops. They need to operate on our brain as well as our tummy,LOL

Yeah Amy!!  Good choices!!  Read the list - consume what you need to!!!  And you are never a WEENIE!!!  This is DIFFICULT on a good day!!  We are going to have our ups and downs and need to be picked up by our .....Big Girl Panties!!!  (You will NEVER live that down by the way!) Hang in there - you are on the uphill climb and it is going to be fun watching you succeed!!! mwwwwahhhhh!!!  Love ya!

Girl, you just had surgery 4 days ago....that proves you aren't a weenie!!! I have heard many on here say if you are feeling weak and dizzy that it could be that you need a shake....Listen to the path leaders!! They know!

Oh Amy - your not a weenie!  If the shake is on your "good to go" list and it sounds good to you, go ahead and have it.  The worst that can happen is you    it back up!  Just kidding!   Keep doing well sweetie! Huggs, Pam

Weak and dizzy are your new hungry signals!!!!  Drink that shake baby!!!!  Go, Amy!  Go, Amy!  You will feel much better once you get some calories into your system. Denise

Its not ok to feel weak and dizzy, I had to learn that the hard way!!!!! If the dr says you are ok with the shake then have the shake and dont feel guilty about it!!!!!
