So I haven't ate a whole meal today, but instead had 2 protein bars 1 for lunch and 1 for supper. Shame on me I know. But I didn't have an appetite today. Is that ok, that I at least had protein bars? What kind you may ask? Both Quest. I'm not sick or

I bought a box of high protein organic cereal for $6 and it's not even the family size. Why is the pricing so jacked? My son and I spent a little extra time at the store, so I could browse around. I never knew there were so many protein bars, all locat

I was told to get yearly labs by my surgeon. I was wondering if anyone goes through there PCP (primary care physician)? How long do you see the surgeon for? Rest of your life? My surgeon went back to school and so I think it would be in my best interes

I grazed on fruits throughout the day today and at 6:30 I tried having some turkey and carrots. Unfortunately, it caused a very upset stomach and within 15-20mins I was vomiting. Did the grazing plus my meal have been to much and be considered overeati

Do you use it often? I bought a food scale, but im not sure when to use it. Should I return it or just get into the habit of using it? Am I meant to use it for portion control? Do I use it to control my vegetable intake? I bought it to weigh out my foo

I ate coleslaw today and I haven't had it since before my surgery, over a year ago. Instantly regret buying it because I've had the worst diaherrea. I knew I would have to use the bathroom, but not like this.

Should I be more careful with what

I drank 80oz of water today and I plan to drink 32oz more. Is there such a thing as drinking to much water?

I'm supposed to have 3 dairy snacks, but im full and don't think I can eat a dairy snack before 8pm. Does this mean I'm susceptible to h

I know dumping can lead to diaherrea, but how do you know the difference between both? And why would I have diaherrea every Wednesday morning? I don't eat for 1-2hours after getting up and I don't eat past 7pm the night before. It's strange, can anxiet

I don't plan on stop taking my vitamins, but curious to know what's the worse that can happen? I hate separating pills each week and trying to find deals on them. I find walgreens to be helpful with buy one get one half off or free plus I can use rewar

Do I need to ask before taking pepto bismol or other medicines? Not to get into to much detail but I've had diarrhea and if it persists I'd like to take something to help.

I'm taking Topiramate (topamax), I'm not losing enough weight and so I was put on this to eat smaller portions and feel fuller faster. Just wandering if anyone has had any experiences to share with weight loss pills.

I get my steps in and do weights 3-4 times a week. Should I be doing more cardio? My sister says I should be able to do intense workouts, but im reluctant to do more because I already aim for 13,000 steps or more daily. I'm disappointed I lost 10 pound

I lost 5 pounds in a week, but I didn't make any major changes. I went from walking for an hour to walking two hours split up throughout the day. Drinking tons of water which keeps me from snacking and I'm watching my portion control. It's a shock! Wis

I know it's been months since my surgery, but does anyone know why the nurses had to keep track of how often I urinated? They collected it in a hat before flushing. I still go to the bathroom A LOT due to the amount of fluids I drink. Will the amount o

I get a good 8 plus cups of water in every other day and in between I get 4-6 cups. Is that okay? Do you count coffee or tea as water intake? I have not.

Other then water, milks, tea, and coffee, what else is healthy and safe to drink?

I will be honest, I haven't been eating my protein first all the time. I'm still sticking to eating healthy but every now and then I treat myself to a goodie like a cookie or a bowl of ice cream. My exercise has been relaxed as well, Instead of 10k ste

I have plenty of sweat pants that are adjustable, but for jeans they are starting to fall down. Since I'm still losing weight would it make sense to wait to go shopping? I did buy some new shirts and I can fit in XL verses 2X. I was in a 24-26W pants a
