BTW, Letrell - Thank you for being so concerned about me. I appreciate it. I love this site!

I used to love 2% and whole milk. But once you get used to it, the richer milk tastes too rich. I went shopping with my daughter on Black Friday, just 2 weeks after surgery (I know, it was stupid). I got really nauseated so she stopped at 7-11 and got me some milk. The lowest fat they had was...

I looked at what I've been eating. It's only 1-2 cups per day. It is skim milk made from dried milk. I don't drink it every single day, just when I haven't had enough protein or too low calories. As for the fiber, I've stopped using it since the doctor said I could now eat a more balanced diet...

I took about 1/2 dose of Milk of Magnesia last night and it pushed everything through. I Have fiber powder that i sprinkle on almost everything I eat/ I like milk and dfink at leasg 3-4 cups per day. That's good for protein, But I also beleive that if we drink what we're supposed, constipation...

Patti - I know you're probably tired of hearing this but the best thing is to stay on the program. I have discovered Russell Stover sugar free candy (mint patties, etc.). They are not low calorie but they take care of my cravings without adding to sugar. Also, sugar free fudgesicles are...

BTW, my surgery was laproscopic.

Thanks for the encouragement. I am feeling much better and don't have to go back to the dr. for 3 months. I'm now eating and drinking much better. I did have a dumping episode tonight because I forgot and put a dollop of whipped cream on some high protein hot chocolate (I got the cocoa from...

This site is the best!

Having had both knees replaced, I understand your reluctance to do that. I AGREE!! The pain does not go away, even after replacement. It just changes. I already feel better having lost over 30 lbs. I've just gotten to where I'm able to eat anything (still soft, etc.). Back to knees. I know...

It's 5 weeks today. And I haven't lost any the last few days. I started at 247 but the day of surgery I was 243. I'm now 215. I really can't believe it but I'm happy. I'm less than I've been since I had my son and he's 28 years old. Now I'm pushing for 199! Another thing, I've had A LOT of...

Letrell, i'm doing better. I've gone back to strictly liquids and am carrying water everywhere. Still some nausea but I'm managing. Thanks for your helpful post!

Kevin, What you've done is a great service to all of us out here. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

WOW You look great

I recently read "A Discovery of Witches", which is easily one of my favorites. It's a bit like a cross between Harry Potter and Twilight, only written for adults, not adolescents. As a retired secondary reading teacher, I had read the other series (HP & Twilight) and loved them but this is...

Letrell, Thank you for your input. I've been eating what i can stand and that's not been good for me. So I'm back to liquids! Also, I'm drinking more, carrying around a bottle of water. My husband got some fresh blackberries yesterday and INSISTED I try one. I tried to say I couldn't but I...

This is crazy. insurance companies should realize you've tried everythingelse befor turning to such a drastic measure.

I d.Ton't have the energy to do anything. i am nauseated much of the time and i have to fight to drink even my water, much less the protein The day postsurgical i literally wanted to die and thought that i was going to die. I even asked a nurse to just let me die. it's better now but i am not...

When and where did you have your surgery? Dr. Gornichec at Baptist in okc did, mine just 3 1/2 weeks ago, di feel that the program at Baptist/Deaconess is the best in Oklahoma.

Kevin, thank you so much for starting this site. I'm very happy I found it!!
