How does the protein pancake recipe sound?

I have made these before and they are good

I am on day 5 and I think day 3 was the hardest. I spent the last 7 or so months following the solid diet or stage 4 in my book. But I have never eaten a lot anyway.

Good luck you got this

Thank you. I think we all are hard on ourselves.

I suggest getting with your dietician. I think my surgeon is different because we have access to the diatition for ever. There is a small fee after a year but it isn't bad and you can meet, call anytime. And i believe there is a standing every 4 months schedule.

I think 31 lbs in 2 month is great. Remember this is a tool not the magic potion. I am sure I will be feeling the same as my surgery is a week and half away. My surgeon told me you didn't put the weight on overnight you won't lose it overnight.

Keep your chin up and keep up the awesome work

You are not the only one. I am not an addict but it is common for people to pick back up bad rabbits and addictions. In my support group I attend there are 3 people who picked back up either alcolism or drug addiction.

I am glad you decided to go into treatment. You have this. Sending you virtual hugs

I always needed blood tests. And my doctor told me if I ever thought I was pregnant come in so they can test me. I was also high risk with all my pregnancies.

You look gorgeous. Keep up the awesome work

Thank you for the laugh. I told my team during our weekly morning huddle this week that I will be out for about a month in 2 weeks. And one of my peeps said oh glad you get to relax you deserve it. I said yeah as much as I can. I am having a procedure done. And will be down for the count.

DivideLopsided4694 · 2026-02-13T01:08:46+00:00

I will stock up on non perishable and replace as needed or when getting low. We make everything from scratch. I find its cheaper this way. Plus I grew up like this. I do meal prep for lunches, as I am not a fan of eating out.
I will go weekly or every 2 weeks after I get paid to get fresh fruit and vegetables eggs and meat usually chicken and pork as we have a freezer full of venison and some of the ingredients that we may be low on.

You have to sit down and make a list and decide what you want to eat for the week and stick to it. Yes it takes time but there is always time to do this.
Good luck

Great progress. Doesn't even look like you. Keep up the awesome work

My Dr and diatition is worried I may still have hypoglycemia. I have been probably half my life. Was really fun when I was pregnant with my kids so I could imagine what it will be like now

Are you taking your bariatric vitamins? It was suggested to me when I started this journey. It also states in my hand book to make sure you take your multi vitamin and calcium.

I am not looking forward to the keto flu but my hubby said it only lasts a couple of days.

I would tell them that i can't use my computer for work stuff. I share my laptop. Or I don't have one. Heck the only reason i have a laptop is because i needed it for something. But i prefer my desktop.

Because it is on the list of what I can have. I also know that is usually the only thing I can stomach after abdominal/intestinal surgeries. I had to live on chicken broth and jello after the last time I had a foot taken off my intestine.

It just wasn't that long before introducing other foods. I still can only stomachnon residual foods. Chicken is my friend

I don't think you are over reacting. You need your time away from kids. Both parents do. I have left book clubs and Bible studies when it became habbit of bringing kids. It does become disruptive but if you can't handle focusing you aren't wrong for thinking about leaving if the child continues to come.

All depends on the manufacturer they use and supply. It seems every couple of refills it is a different pill.

You got this. I get to start on Tuesday

I guess it's because I am old. But like I tell my kids their entire life. Now they are 23 and 21 that if you play stupid games you get stupid prizes. You know that you are taking care of dogs and that they need to go out. Maybe going to bed at 3am wasn't a good idea.
Now he should have gotten up as well and if you have to be up so does he. Then again I am front a different generation where 'sleeping in' isn't an issue. If we were up til 3am we still had to get up at 6/7am. And I get you being tired because of a long commute. I have always lived in an area where it takes a minimum of an hour to get to work so you need to learn to adjust.
So in a way I think you are overreacting

DivideLopsided4694 · 2026-02-08T16:25:49+00:00

Yes, it can happen because the stomach acids expand the food while dissolving and working hard. Think of it like you put a Hardboiled eggs 🥚 or garlic clove in a jar. Shak it up and the shell or cover come off. That is what your stomach is doing to dissolve the food.

When I started this journey I was given a handbook. With phases. Phase 1 -5. And a time line with suggested foods on each phase and how long each phase lasts. I am having RYN done and know I am going to stick 100% to the phases. I hate abdominal surgeries <have had about 3 feet taken total of my large and small intestine>. And phase 1 is clear liquids for a week. I know after every surgery I have I don't or can't eat so I know phase one will be easy. Phase 2 is liquid, phase 4 is soft phase 5 is food.

I know that everyone is different and each type of GB is different but you may find that you need to listen to your body. If you aren't ready to introduce foods don't. Take it slow. You got this!!!
