post op appt!

I had my post op appt yesterday and I'm proud to say I am down 27 lbs from three weeks ago at my highest weight. I'm not getting in quite enough liquids and the pain sucks but I feel good about the loss. I just wish the nausea would go away and dr said I should try scrambled eggs soon but to first get in all 3 shakes a day (I do maybe 1 a day now...milk upsets my tummy). So there's my update. Xoxo

Oh Liana,

I am so proud of you.  I was just about to check in with you.  Then I saw your post.

Don't worry the pain will go away and all the other things.  I can tell you that I don't know how you really feel because I have the band.

Talk to you soon and hang in there.

Thanks. :)

Wahooooooooooo !!        <--- happy dance x 100 !

You're doing awesome, Liana :)

LOL. Thanks for the dancers! :) Cute.

If your having trouble with milk, as some of us do, try switching to soy milk or lactaid. I made the permanent switch to soy milk years ago and never looked back. Personally I prefer Silk Light Vanilla Soymilk, but 8th Continent isn't bad either. It also adds more protein to your diet than cows milk.

Congrats on the weightloss this far, keep up the good work!

Thanks so much. Dr figured it out to be the shake mix im not tolerating. go figure. I appreciate it tho. I am allergic to soy anyway. Glad it works for you. Id love an option with more protein..i def dont wanna lose my hair... :/

 Sounds like you're doing great, how about making a shake with jus****er or using nectar protein with water.  good job!!

talked to my dr because I tried rice milk (I hate soy) and that made me nauseaus so he goes..maybe its the shake mix..sometimes we get used to it and then we sorta reject it after a while..try whey protein and dabble with some foods. UGH! I am able to eat eggs now and milk is fine if its a glass by itself. I can have mashed potatoes and cream of wheat and jello and pudding and applesauce. I havent dared try anything thicker or more substancial... :)
