:) It's good to know I'm not the only one to feel this way. I'm so glad my pouch isn't "broken" lol

I'm so glad to read how much you are eating. People I know are still acting like I'm a freak when I tell them I can eat 3 oz of chicken. It goes down awesome and I don't feel sick, so I figure I'm okay! Even my nutritionist was like "add some veggies and a complex carb to get it up to 4-6 oz per meal".

Sounds like having a plan is a good idea. I definitely need to join you on that!

No real wows for me yet except people seeing me and saying how wonderful I look. It surprises me every time.

Thanks for sharing.

Topic: RE: I just got the foamies!

I had it the other day too. I had to laugh when you said you now know your pouch is working and about being afraid of being able to eat too much. That is exactly where I was in the process then BAM! Got some chicken stuck (mindless eating too quick chicken--yuck!) and it was one of the most horrible things I've experienced. So painful and the foam and spit--gak!

But funny enough, as I was wondering if I was going to die I was slightly relieved to know I actually had a pouch that was responding in some way to tell me I actually had surgery!

Sorry you had to experience it though--gross stuff.

Topic: RE: sex and contraception?

I was given the all clear at 2 weeks. We are using condoms now, but hate them, so I'm going to push the vasectomy thing or see about an IUD.

Good luck!

Topic: RE: sex and contraception?

i had sex about 4 days out, the b/f was very careful and the dr told me if i felt pain to stop. No pain! I just went to see my gyno, and because I have never had children he advised against an IUD. So I went with the NuvaRing. Honestly, (not to be to graphic) I have been wearing it for well 3 days now...and I dont even notice it. Its really easy to insert and my dr said it can be removed for intercourse (not to freak out my fella) for up to 3 hours.

Ill let you know in a month or so if i still like the ring..but so far...its simple, put it in on sunday...leave in for 3 weeks, remove for a week...repeat. lol.

Good luck!

Topic: RE: progress

im the same way i couldnt get the shakes down to save my life... too sweet an thick... im hooked on isopure water by natures best... and unflavored any whey protien.... the waters are not as sweet as even crystal lite.. very palitible.. but expensive.. almost $4 a 20oz bottle but 40gm protien...

and the any whey protien u can add to just about anything... my fav way to have it is added to chicken broth... 17gm protien per scoop.. its like 20$ a container... so not as expensive as waters.. good luck... u have to get in ur liquids.. or u can go in to tacicardia. spelling??? fast heart rate.. dizziness... etc...

The only thing I've been cleared to do is easy walking. I'm going to ask about it at my appointment on Monday though.

Topic: RE: sex and contraception?

We had sex 5 days out...we were just more careful about my tummy. My Dr said whenever I felt up to it.

I'm having my husband get a vasectomy next wed lol because I can't find a birth control I like and i don't trust condoms. I have 4 kids 4 and under so I think I'm done lol.
