I had a morphine pump when I first got out of surgery. Push the button, morphine was dispensed. It made me very nauseous though. I was given a prescription for liquid oxycodone when I was discharged.

More "comfort food" for dinner tonight. My husband will be leaving for a little while soon, so I've been making some of his favorites he won't be able to eat while he's gone.

I know the feeling! I cleaned out my closet recently and have a weird attachment to a lot of my old clothes. I have so many nice things from Fashion Bug, Catherine's, Lane Bryant, Torrid, etc. I plan...

I weighed myself yesterday morning for my weekly weigh-in, and I'm down 99 lbs since I started the 6 months supervised diet last October. My BMI has dropped 17 points, and I am no longer on blood...

Congrats! That's awesome!

That looks really good! I think I'm going to add that to my meal plan for next week. I wonder how much one serving is though.

My being cold kicked in a few days post-surgery. In the hospital, I was burning up and asking the nurses if I could turn the thermostat down. After a few days, I started getting chilly even though...

I looked into Gwynnie Bee, but it was too expensive for me to justify. I'm a SAHM, so I don't have to dress business casual to go to work or anything like that. My bariatric support group also has...

I was told I needed to lose 20-30 lbs before my paperwork would get put through. I would find out directly from your surgeon's office since everyone seems to have a different answer.

I was prescribed Prilosec as a preventative measure. My surgeon said acid reflux is common after the sleeve.

I'm not sure what size bougie was used for me. I can eat about 1/4 cup at a time and still end up with painful hiccups a good deal of the time. For about two weeks after surgery, I was only able to...

I had my 3 month post-op check up today and was told my labs came back with low protein. I also had low vitamin A levels and was told to start eating more sweet potatoes, butternut squash, etc. I was...

I bought the Popsicle brand sugar free variety boxes. They had one with cherry, orange, and grape and a tropical variety box at the grocery store I go to (Winco).

I go by my home scale. I weigh myself first thing in the morning before getting dressed so there's no fluctuation from food, shoes, or clothing. As for the doctor's office, I usually eat a snack in...
