Another MUST READ!!!

Someone on the NY board pointed this out: http://store.bariatriceating.com/july2005.html I read it at just the right time, I had just gone home for lunch and the tiny bite of chicken I had got stuck and I had to go through that hour of the foamies and the puking and was feeling miserable and starting to feel sorry for myself because I knew I was going to have to drink another protein drink and sometimes I just DON'T WANT THEM!!! But after reading that, I thought, you know what, I'm so lucky I had this surgery and I will drink "TOILE****ER" if I have to in order to continue this healthy life that I've been given! HUGS, Vi (who's sipping her "toile****er" quietly at her desk)

What a good read, my only problem with it is my doc did not give me specific requirements, he says well-balanced 4 oz meals, not concerned about counting proteins- but I still enjoyed that article, put things in perspective dosen't it? 215/173/125

It sure does! Are you able to eat your 4 oz meals? I can't even seem to get in that much most of the time, so I'm constantly having to supplement with shakes. Maybe next time I see the surgeon I'll ask him if I need to have an endoscopy or something to see if I have too much scar tissue? Hopefully this is just a phase that will pass....

yeah I can eat the 4oz fine, sometimes even alittle more. Actually had a real slice of pizza last night, small one, but it went down fine. I get a little scared that it's getting easier to eat. I feel bloated most of the day but I think cuz I drink water all day long. Definitly get checked Vi, dosent sound right at this time. Good luck, 215/173/125

I love it. It realy hits the spot. I am going to give a coppy to a couple of friends, at my support group. They neeeeeeed it. Deb 392/313/225

good idea!

Wow... I think I just had the backbone slapped into me! And you know what? I really needed that! Thanks, Ann 298/237/175ish

I hear you! It was definitely the kick in the pants that I needed too!! Hugs, Vi

She is absolutely right and the doctors have every right to feel as they do. I need to remember this the next time I complain about the yucky protein drinks. I need to just shut up and drink it! Thanks for posting that message. It's just what I need. Fran

It definitely motivated me. I had FOUR protein shakes today... that must be a record for me since I had surgery.
