My swelling has almost went away since the surgery and weight loss. I am so glad you found something that worked. I hope your post helps someone else. I LOVE when I find something that is life...

I hated the constipation. I still struggle w/ it. I have found the thing that helps me the most is oatmeal. I eat a packet of the weight control in the morning. (Which is actually my night since I...

There is always a risk w/ any surgery. And we all get nervous beforehand, its only natural.

I had no complications. There was lots of pain the first week. I was given dilaudid, which is stronger...

I look forward to hearing how it all went. I wish you the best of luck. BTW: my sister works with a plastic surgeon in South Carolina and he does the whole body at once. She says its tough on the...

Amazing transformation. your hard work has paid off. I find it funny that most of us HATE the camera.

woot woot!!! Keep up the amazing work. Its hard but so worth it.

You got it already?! I just knew it would be good. Yay!!

I FINALLY uploaded some before and after pictures. The before was at my daughters graduation last June. The after is down 88lbs. I am down 110 now, but dont have any. I am still shocked by the...

I love the idea of turkey jerky. She suggested the slim jim kinda stuff b/c so many ppl's pouchs cant handle the full on jerky.
I am the same way about a lot of meet. I balked at it being ostrich,...

I just saw this post. I am 6 months out, but down a total 110 lbs between pre and post surgery. Our sex is the best we have ever had. We have been married 18 years so he knows what I like and want,...

I got the sugar free butter pecan. Instead of a 2 scoop waffle cone, I got a 1 scoop bowl. I was shocked by how good it tasted. Most times when my family eats a treat it doesnt bug me. But when it...

I know when I was walking 2 miles a day I was stalling. i dropped it to one and the weight slowly came off. I think if you work out too much you have to really eat a lot or your body goes into...

I got to swallow them while in the hospital. At first they had me on IV dilaudid. I hated it so much. I told the RN that I wanted no more, please give me something less potent. She came in and said...

Thanks Grace..I mislead you i think. I started a "diet" on August 1st 2011. I had to lose 50lbs before surgery. I still had 20 to go in Decemeber. So since mid Dec I have lost 80lbs i think? So all...

Saw my surgeon. He said I was 20lbs heavier than I should be. He also said he would see me in 90 days and wanted me 30lbs lighter. Then he said I looked amazing, and wonderful color etc. We discussed...

Tonya, I have not tried it, but I have heard many ppl talk about the powdered peanutbutter. Its on the eggface website. I LOVE peanutbutter, and need to try this. I mostly abstain, unless I had a...

OMG..my bathing suit. LOL The one I have is a size 32, and sooo stretched out. I wear a 22-24. So it was huge. I knew it would be, but couldnt find another. Slim pickings at the store, esp in my...

my first thought was your not eating enough. Your burning off a LOT. Your body has to have some calories to function. Im not a professional, its just what my thoughts were.

I think you doing great! Dont be surprised if it slows down here shortly, then it will pick back up. The lack of appetite is very normal too. I am 6 months out and I go through spurts. One minute I...

It was a tight fit, but before surgery, it was a NO fit. I was so nervous though. Melissa, you weigh less than me, Im surprised you dont fit.

I cant wait to get even lower on the scale.

We went to Kings Island yesterday. I got in line for a roller coaster, so freaking nervous b/c I didn't want to be embarassed by not fitting. My kids encouraged me, a LOT. They said I was smaller...

My huband hates it too. He says it makes him feel bad. Its been 4.5 months for me and I FINALLY got him to realize that i am just as full as he is. I usually order an appetizer and not an entree. I...

Wow..you have had it rough. Hang in there, Tuesday is just around the corner!! Once you get this taken care of I am confident you wont regret your decision. Just so you know..i was wondering the same...

I so feel for you. My twins have Christmas Eve birthdays. I make an effort every year to celebrate their bday no matter the holdiay and the craziness surrounding it. So they wanted Olive Garden. It...

I had problems w/ any cold liquid post op. It got better. As for protien shakes..you gotta keep trying till you find one that agrees with you. For me it's Unjury. (unjury.com). I love the chocolate...
