2262722626 This is the same outfit. Pants were a 2XL in the before pic, and a Large in the after pic. The sweater is the same, it just fits much better now.

Hi all! Been a while since I have been on here. With my ever growing energy level, I now have other things to occupy my time besides being on the computer so much. I am now 78 pounds lighter, only 40...

Hello All! I know it's been a while since I posted but it's been a crazy busy summer! I just went for my 3 month checkup and am pleased to report that I am now 61 pounds lighter. I have reached the...

From what I am told and have seen, every surgeon has different requirements, I had two weeks liquid only also. But mine was protein shakes, broth, jello, water, and crystal light.

I am only 38 days post op and my doc told me I can go back to a normal food diet. He said to start introducing new foods and I will know when I am not going to be able to tolerate it. So far, I...

I did not have a drain tube when I woke up from surgery. My surgeon used skin glue to close the 5 small incisions and that was all. I was up walking around within hours of my surgery, as soon as...

ok I see I left a few words out of the end of my post. I meant to say I can't wait until June 13th to be released back to the gym so I get back into my aqua aerobics classes and tone some of this...

Thanks Don, but I don't care for Greek Yogurt, it is way too thick and bitter tasting for me.

Sounds like he needs to increase his calories so he can stop losing and level out. But I would definitely go see a dietitian or nutritionist ASAP!

5 protein shakes a day seems like an awful lot. If you use Premier Protein shakes from Sam's Club, Costco, or Bj's, they are 11oz. pre made shakes that come in chocolate, vanilla, or strawberries and...

I have tried albacore tuna, tilapia, and chicken breast so far. Gonna try salmon tomorrow for lunch.

Hi all, Well it has now been 2 weeks, 5 days since my surgery. I have lost a total of 30 lbs since May 2nd. I still don't have my energy back and am tired alot. But I am managing to get in my protein...

Congrats! Keep it up!

Awesome! Great job! You look great!

Kroger Brand CarbSmart Yogurt only has 1.5 grams of fat and 3 grams of sugar per 6 oz. container. It is the only one my Dr. and nut recommends.

Ok So I was 298 starting this journey, 292 when I started my pre-op diet, 278 the day of surgery, 284 two days after surgery, 278 on Tuesday the 20th, and 271 as of this morning, just 13 days since...

It will be less bloated in 3-4 days. I can't believe you are already home. My surgery was at 830am on a Thursday and I did not get to come home until 1 o'clock pm on Saturday, the 17th. Anyway...

I hadn't had a period since Nov. 2011 as I am on Implanon birth control which is an implant that is good for three years. When they removed the catheter and I peed the first time on my own after the...

I have noises too, I am 5 days post op but I find the noises are not really hunger. they are a combination of gas and the liquid moving around in there with the air swallowed while sipping. I went to...

Don't tell the office manager, tell your surgeon personally. He needs to know what kind of people are representing him in his office. Sorry you had such a bad experience.
