How to lose 15 pounds in one week when 27 months out

Have your tonsils removed.  Really.  I didn't say it would be painless; in fact, it is quite painful, but I'm still not eating much after a week.  Thank goodness for protein shakes!   What I find most interesting, however, is that I'm not really hungry.  It's like I'm back to the beginning of the surgery and I'm eating because I must, not because I want to.  Kinda fun!

Sorry you had to do it a painful way!!! I'm sure your tummy shrunk back down some. Hope you feel better soon!!!!!!!

Thanks for the positive thoughts.  I feel ok, just don't want to eat.  Kinda cool.

Ouch!  Hope you're feeling better soon.

It was an ouch, but it could have been worse.  I'm looking forward to next spring, with the hopes that this really reduces the pain then!

(hugs)  Having your gallbladder removed works too. 

Darn, can't use that one; they took it out when I had the gastric bypass!

I wonder what I could have removed? 

Linda; I think it's a side effect of the anesthesia that makes you not want to eat. I'm having PS in a few weeks and have already started stocking up on protein powders as I'm expecting to not want to eat much and I know I'll need extra protein to aid in healing. Congrats on the 15 lbs. Sorry it was such a painful way.

If you are right, I wonder how long that side effect of anesthesia lasts?  I went heavy on the protein poweders as well, and mixed them with carnation instant breakfast pre-made instead of milk.  With lots of ice in the blender, it went down pretty well and I got lots of protein that way. I'm noticing things taste funny as well.  I'm hoping that will go away (although peach yogurt this morning was pretty good).
