Topic: RE: Challenge!!!!!!!! Who's in on it???
Hi Patrece!
Happy to see you posting again. I breifly entertained the idea of the road trip to Nebraska but just didn't feel up to it. Congrats on your outstanding grades and good luck with your upcoming classes.
Better late than never I guess; I haven't been on the computer for a couple of days so I'm late chiming in with this challenge.
Activity is always hard for me to commit to due to my disability, but I can certainly commit to the fluids. So far this morning (it's 5:30 am here in Detroit) I have gotten in my first protein shake of the day
(I hate them) and my first 4oz. of water.
Hopefully, I can get everything in today. I have fallen way short of the mark for a while now.

Topic: Have to gain weight
This is the first time in two weeks that I have had the strength to sit at my desk for more than 5 or 10 minutes so I thought I would throw this out there and see what you guys had to say.
I have been ill ever since my plastic surgery on March 29; basically weak and unable to eat. Everything tastes like it is spoiled, the texture is weird and even water doesn't taste right. When I tried to force feed myself I ended up gagging and throwing up. I still can't eat a lot of things but it has improved a little. The main problem is that almost everything that is palatable has sugar in it. I saw my surgeon two weeks ago. My goal weight was 145 and I wasn't sure I would be able to get there. I am now at 117 as of my last office visit and need to put on about 30 pounds. I look like a skeleton and I can't stand it.
I have no idea how I am going to gain weight without eating garbage food. The surgeon has me on 4 protein shakes a day but I don't think that's going to do much. I'm dizzy if I stand too long, my skin is dry and I'm just basically a mess. I feel like I should be in the hospital but feel stupid going in there with this problem. My regular doctor is on vacation. At first we thought my problems with taste/texture had to do with thrush. I've been through two rounds of anti-fungal treatments and that apparently wasn't the issue. I still have a very heavy metallic taste in my mouth.
Anyway, if anybody has any suggestions about gaining weight, I'd love to hear them.

Topic: RE: Back on liquids
I have the same problem but not always; with me it's usually because I'm eating too fast. Glad to hear that you are not playing games and following up with the surgeon.

Hello, how are you doing? I had my wls on 4/30/11 and would do it again in a heartbeat. Did you have any complications? What are you doing for excerising? I have been walking on the trendmill. Stay in touch!
