Topic: RE: WARNING: May be habit forming...
Good point, I have been extra hungry in the first part of the day and I do start off eating breakfast... I have been okay with it so far because my meals are "planned." But if it starts to get out of control I may have to switch it up.

Topic: RE: What are you eating/doing today? Wednesday!
My my, aren't Mothers difficult! And they say its daughters!
B: DD wake up wrap
coffee
S: string cheese
L: spinach/ham crustless quiche (I ate this already, so it was more like B2)
S: HB egg and 1/2 banana
D: almond butter on 1/2 low carb wrap w/SF jam
S: protein shake
I seem to be most hunry in the am, as the day goes on not so much. Oh well, I am going to eat when I'm hungry, not just because its "time to eat." We'll see how that goes, in the past it wouldn't have worked, but now that my meals are planned for the day I know how much I can eat before I'm done.

Congrats on your success! Thank you for sharing with us.

Topic: RE: food diary apps for blackberry
It is well worth the three bucks, I am very glad I have it and I use it all the time too. Great when you are away from the internet (well, away from a computer anyway, those of us with crackberry's need help I think...LOL)

Topic: RE: Can't Stop Crying
Not sure, may just be from the anestesia. It makes me weepy. Keep your chin up, it gets better.

Topic: RE: I need my ass kicked........seriously!
Yeah, you know already. Who cares about the 25 pounds, but you gotta take those vitamins!!

Topic: RE: 2 waffles???
I could eat two, I eat two carb quick pancakes when I have them. I'm thinking we are about the same out for surgery, maybe me a little more. I would prefer to have a two, but would probably only eat one and a scrambled egg white for the extra protein. I'm not sure how big they are.

Topic: RE: Surgery $40K, Vitamins $80, losing 100 pounds--PRICELESS!!!
YEAH!! So happy for you. congrats on your success.

Topic: RE: Poll for all the people who cook
Oh, just last week I tried to make some homemade protein bars. Well, they came out a little dry. My DH was feeding little pieces of his bar to the pomeranians, and he looked at me and said "I'm surprised they aren't over at their water dish." It took me a minute to get what he was saying, becuase the bars were so dry the dogs would need water to wash them down!
Oh well, we are eating them anyway!!

Topic: RE: Straws?
Definately stay away from straws in the beginning, they do cause air, gas, pain. I can use them now, but I rarely do and I use them carefully.

Topic: RE: Think I need to live in a cave!
It really is easier once you can eat something. It's very, very hard when you are on liquids and puree. Even if you can't eat your old favs, you will find some new ones that are healthy and will satisfy you. But buyer's remorse is pretty common.

Topic: RE: So I excersised a bit more then walking today...
I started working out on the weights at the gym two weeks out as well as walking. You'll know if you are doing something that you shouldn't, your body will let you know! And if it hurts, stop. My NUT told me that no pain, no gain is BS. If it hurts, it hurts for a reason.

Topic: RE: What are you eating/doing today? Tuesday
Well, let's see...at work today then mowing with DH after work (big surprise there...)
B: coffee
Wake up wrap
S: 1/2 homemade protein bar
L: scr. egg whites w/ham and spinach in half low carb pita
S: string cheese or 1/2 banana
D: ?? Not sure
May end the day with a protein shake or two since it looks like I will be short on protein. I don't think I have an ulcer, the pain is better today but now I am wondering about lactose intolerance. We'll see how that goes!

Topic: RE: Surgery Tomorrow
Yeah Kristen! Best of luck tomorrow, you'll do fine. Can't wait to hear your update.


Topic: RE: What does an ulcer feel like?
Thanks, I read your other post too. And like I said I have given it some thought (sad thought...LOL). I would be curious to know if it's the caffeine or the actual acidity of the coffee. It seems as though decaf would be bad too.

Topic: RE: Coffee toffee twisted frosty (snack version)
Yes, I have already thought about that, sadly I will miss it but life will go on. Hopefully my PCP can tell me what is going on, if anything. May just be a groucy pouch!

Topic: RE: What does an ulcer feel like?
Thanks, I will. I just wondered because I knew it was pretty commong among RNYer's. Thanks!


Topic: RE: What does an ulcer feel like?
So no different because of the RNY? I had looked it up on the website and tried to find some postings on here (the search function comes up with all kinds of unrelated things...).
