I'm not a doctor or medical professional, but I've got almost 9 years of band life under my belt so I do know a lotta s**t.

Who's got questions they'd like answered? Don't be shy. Ask about anything; I've addressed most of them at some point! Poop?

Puke?

Post WLS sex?

I promise to try my best or, at least, to make suggestions and point you in the right direction . . .

Okay, then. Since no one needs me, I am headed outside to enjoy this lovely day and study for my state EMS practicals.

I will do better. I shall get Sammy Hagar, my beloved, to serenade you.

But remember he is MINE

I WAS having a poop issue....but I think I got it figured out. But I still need to take a swig of M.O.M on occasion. I'm not as regular as I used to be (still once a day, but not as much) so I feel backed up. Buuuuuttt, I'm thinking, that because I'm eating less I'm producing less.... Hmmmm....sounds like I may be on to something...

I swear by Miralax, since MoM and Metamucil both gross me out. Miralax (I buy generic) mixes in any liquid - hot or cold - dissolves completely and is tasteless.

Questions:

Does one count weight or volumn (IE: 3-4 oz of protein) or cals?

also, hub asks if I am to eat 4 oz protein, do I count the others (veggies/fruit) in that or is it seperate??

I am afraid to eat tooo much (not that I can but am being very careful with portion control.

Advice??

I weighed my food on a scale AND measured to insure I got 3 oz protein...cut it into tiny pieces put in a 1/2 cup measuring cup, then added veggies...

LOL - I don't count anything. When you feel yourself starting to feel full, stop eating.

4 oz of protein is a "normal" sized portion for normal sized stomach. 4 ounces of chicken, for example, is the size of a deck of cards. Could you eat that, and have room for veggies? It depends on how far out you are. Early on, no way. Try an index-finger sized piece of meat, in small bites, chewed very well, and then a few bites of veggies. You can always have a little more if that doesn't cut it.
