Just wanted to post an update! I am over four months out, down 55 lbs., only 25 more to go, and just bought my first size 8 pair of shorts!!! Loving it! All the pain and discomfort the first...
Congrats!!! I'm down to the 160's and am waiting to get beyond that and waiting to get into size 8 next!
That's wonderful! Congratulations!!! It looks like you were only five lbs. less than me when you started this journey, and you even surpassed your goal! Good for you! I'd love to see some before...
My acid reflux didn't start until I was in the pureed stage. It doesn't burn, it just feels like if you try to burp becuase you feel like you need to, you're afraid that you will regurgitate. Just...
Just take it one day at a time. Try your best to get down all the medicine, liquid, protein, etc., but don't beat yourself up if you fall short on some days. The first few days are about healing. ...
I would say that first, I was surprised after the surgery while still in the hospital how much I had to go to the bathroom! (About 2-3 times an hour due to all the fluid coming through my IV). If...
I eat a spoonful of peanut butter at least once a day.
That's it! That's all I wanted to say! Woo Hoo!!!
I live in Brenham, TX.
We had our surgery the same day. Today for lunch, I tried a corn tortilla with some small pieces of roasted chicken and a little bit of grated cheese. My stomach tolerated it well. Tonight, I may...
I complained about acid reflux to my doctor and was told that I need to continue to take my Carafate, a liquid medicine given to me the day after surgery. The dosage is 2 teaspoons 3x a day. I had...
I have to admit this time yesterday when we were driving home from a 3 hour trip, I felt regretful about my surgery. My husband and daughter were eating Chick-fil-A sandwiches, and I was eating the...

At 11 days post-op, I still have my J.P. drain. Big :( It has been burning and is the main cause of the little pain I have left from the surgery. Because of the excessive burning yesterday, I...
This happens to me too! Although it is happening less than it had been being that I'm now 11 days post-op. Thanks to Jennifer for explaining what this is!
I'm experienceing the same thing at 11 days post-op. I've been the same weight for the past 6 days or so. But... I can feel the weight loss on my body, and I know that things are changing within my...
I'll be able to start my pureed diet on 11/29... believe me, I am counting the days, and I CAN'T WAIT to eat some scrambled eggs!
I am currently a stay-at-home homeschooling mom to my 13yo daughter.
I've been using a small tube-shaped pillow to help me sleep on my side (I'm a stomach sleeper). As for pain medicine, my doctor prescribed a nose spray that works immediately. He also said I could...
My advice is to try, try, try to lose weight by other means first.
Oh, and don't forget to go all the way to the bottom and click on Save Changes.
Go to your Control Panel, then My Settings, then General Settings. There you can choose what emails you'd like to receive.
I need to put my scale away as I seem to weigh once or twice a day! If it's sitting there, I'm just too tempted!
Dee Leshuz, just a comment to you... I think you need to change your ticker icon from a turtle to a hare! You have lost an incredible amount of weight in a short amount of time, and you're SO CLOSE...
