3 1/2 month checkup
..went great. The Dr. told me I was "ahead of schedule"--on date of appt and with his scale I have lost just over 60 lbs since 11/23/16. I am happy with this most days...some weeks I stall for a few days and get nervous, but it usually works out. I am not getting all the protein in that I need to, so I discussed that with…

Is this normal?
My surgery was 11/23/15 so I am just shy of 2 mos post op. I still can only get down 2 oz. of protein. My NUT told me to add veggies/starch/fruit in that order when I "had room". I am still full after 2 oz. protein so I can't add anything yet........I have been looking at other posts and diaries and most people out the…

When did you start to actually feel "good"?
I am 5 weeks post op and still don't feel that great.....it is getting better, but just always feel either just "ok" or have a stomachache. I eat very little--about an oz of protein at a time....more than that gives me a terrible stomachache. I am getting in my protein and most of my fluids. I don't have "buyers…

When did you progress to soft but solid food after surgery?
I had surgery 2 weeks ago today. I do not like protein shakes, and I despise yogurt, but that is what i have been eating, since that is what is allowed :) . I was thinking that tomorrow at my 2 week appt, I would get the green light for soft/pureed foods, but a friend with the same Dr. told me she did not get that green…

Caffeine
Hi all....I am still in pre op phase of this journey. Everything is done, just waiting for a surgery date at this point. My question is about Crystal Light....when I was seeing the nutritionist, I wrote down Crystal Light Iced Tea, and she never questioned it. I assumed it was caffiene free....I did look it up online and…

multi dating?
I don't get it...how do people do this? Date a bunch of people at one time? I started seeing someone a few weeks ago, and we are not exclusive (I asked), and so when someone else asked me out (someone I went on date a few months ago, and we decided to go to friends as he was going through divorce....he is ready to date…

When you make poor eating choices
When you make poor choices, or indulge, when does it show for you on the scale. I always just assumed it would show pretty much right away--within 12 hours anyway? But, over the past week, I had two people say that (for them) it doesn't show until a couple of days later, so if they indulge in something on Sat. night, scale…

Do you agree with the 3 month rule?
3 months is the magic time frame. Up until the 3-month-mark, a man is on his best behavior (or SHOULD be), he's swept up in the chemistry just like we are, he's infatuated perhaps, and he LOVES the attention a warm, loving, nice, attentive woman like us gives him. He likes the way it feels, and it keeps him there for that…

Those that have/had FWB
So I understand what FWB is...clearly, however how do you set things up? Do you just call when you are "in the mood" for them? Do you have "standing date"? Do you just assume you will hang out with them in group, but know they are the one you are going home with provided no newcomer (on either side) "intrudes"? I am asking…

Too much, too soon........
I started talking to a guy online last week......and in his 2 nd email , he said "let's meet", and I said--" Could we chat a bit first to see if we want to meet?" and he said that would be fine. So we ended up moving onto texting and all was fine--just basic getting to know someone kind of stuff. Then he told me I was…
