Topic: happy surgiversary!
To all of us that had surgery on January 8th. We have come a long way. I can't believe it has been a year since my surgery and all the weight loss that I have had. I still have a long way to go to be "normal" but at least I am on the road to success.
Good luck to you all that are having or are planning on having the surgery. I wish you guys all the best.

Topic: RE: Whats my problem?!?!?!
YAY YOU!!
I too am working on day 4. I do OK during the day...well...that's when i do most of my sleeping so thats OK. Dinner time i do pretty good...hubby and kids have been helping to make/clean up. I try to go back to sleep after dinner so i don't have to watch the TV commericals or listen to my family talk about what kind of snack they want etc.
I get to work...and as long as i stay busy...I'm OK. Between 3-4am i cant stand it. I am beyond Hungary. But, i don't give in...i want to but i don't.
I was thinking of what i have been eating lately...i don't know if i am doing this right?
I have 2cups of chicken broth when i get home from work
(my dinner everyone else breakfast) then sleep all day and then another 2 cups of chicken broth for dinner with the family and then on my way to work i have a 6oz protein drink...mixed with water.
So that's about 38oz of liquid...and then i drink gator-aide at work. I think i had a little sugar free jell-o cup yesterday. I hate the texture of jell-o!!
I think my protein drink has soy in it....or something?
(soy always makes me really sick!!) I have really bad..how do i say this tactfuly...uhhh....( butt pee ).....its like what i except "dumping" to be. Its bright yellow and i almost cant get to the bathroom fast enough!! I'm going to call my nutrustist and ask what to do.
I am sooo weak, lightheaded,cold, tired and i have a headache. The simplest task are hard to do. I cant seem to concentrate or think straight.
I have my EGD tomorrow so at least i have the next 2 days off.
Is anyone else having these problems or is it just me??
