I CAN take zoloft, I am choosing not to. Zoloft can be crushed and comes in a liquid. Both have the worst taste you can imagine. I have tasted bad medicine before but this burns my throat and causes me to salivate for 30 min like you do when you are about to vomit. Any other liquid or food i...

I am almost 4 weeks out. I am losing weight, not as fast as I had hoped, the last 2 weeks I lost 3# each week. But the big problem right now is I am like a lit fuse. It takes very little for me to explode with anger. I have no patience. Every little thing bothers me. For instance, while...

I love Truvia (stevia). It is more expensive but i just use it in beverages. I was having a hard time getting in enough fluids because i can only drink so much plain water and I am not a coffee/tea drinker. I use it to make a pitcher of koolaid, which is what i find i can drink the most of...

I dont think your husband "problem" has anything to do with your new body. It sounds to me that he cant accept the fact that you have changed your habits and lifestyle. He likes the "old" you because everything about you and your lives together was comfortable and secure for him. Now you...

Javejoy and fkrebs said it best. as long as the family is self sufficient and you can get a daily nap if needed it will be great. It has been almost 3 weeks for me and my 3 kids and their spouses, and 4 grandkids and my parents will all be here with me next week for thanksgiving. I am not at...

thanks fkrebs. thats a really good idea. and thanks for the motivation! I need to remember that my habits of eating fast, eating too much, eating past satiety, are going to take alot of time to change. one day at a time!

I made this for dinner for my husband and since i am only 3 weeks out from rny i pureed some for me and it was still delicious. I didnt figure the protein per portion since that would be too difficult! small onion 1# ground turkey breast 1 can black beans 1 can of corn 1 can of pinto...

thanks to you all for the great advice. Linney, you are my hero, you have done so very well. I am going to strive to be like you and take your advice.

thankyou so much linney for taking the time to respond so encouragingly. I find that i dont really know when i am full. I am so used to eating way past that point. And I do find that i think i can eat as much as always. I feel like my head is consumed with how much did i drink, how many...

I am almost 3 weeks out from rny. last week i wasnt payng attention and consumed about 18oz of cream soup in 30 min. I felt like my pouch was going to burst, alot of pressure and a little nausea and lightheadedness. It passed in an hour or so. but since then i cant put more that a couple of...

Hi, i had my surgery on 10-25. this past weekend I was in tears many times. very unlike me. this doesnt make your tears go away, but know that you are not alone.

I am 10 days post op from rny. My breath has a odor to it that is not pleasant! I also can taste it. I cant get rid of it except for a moment or two after brushing or drinking protein. Water doesn't wash it away. Anybody else?

Hi, I had my surgery the day after you. sounds like ur having a hard time. I have not had trouble keeping things down. i do have trouble getting in more than 35oz of fluid. the last couple of days have alternated between feeling a little better and feeling a little worse. at least most of...

Hi, Sandie, my rny is tomorrow. I have been using (and will continue to use) Gold Standard Whey Protein powder. I have only used the vanilla ice cream flavor. It has 25g of protein per serving and you can mix it with milk or water, coffee whatever. I like the taste. If you have lactose...

i was good yesterday, today getting nervous, tomorrow i expect to be where you are!! I am starving, and I didnt follow my preop diet to the letter so I am also afraid my liver wont have shrunk enough. but I did lose 9 pounds in the last couple of weeks so I hope all goes well. I will...

I am right there with you, mine is thursday. I do have a bowel prep. half a bottle of mag citrate at 3p and the rest at 7p.

hi jamie-sue, my surgery is on thursday the 25th. I can relate completely with your post. i am afraid that i wont be able to give up my sweets, wont be able to eat slowly, wont be able to stop myself from overeating. i have read many posts on here where people have gained back alot of their...

my surgery is next thursday and i am flooded with thoughts of no longer being able to eat birthday cakes, have an ice cream cone with my grandkids, etc. Sweets are my downfall. I am always the one who is called upon to bring desserts to family holidays and parties because i love to bake and i...
