    I haven't had any change in my bra size and when I went from 300 pounds down to 200 pounds in 2010 (my first real weight loss) my bra size never really changed. I was in a 44DD to a 38DD

  3. Re: what to eat in Phase II, soft food period, once completing phase I.......?

    I tried a soft scrambled egg in my soft food stage and it did not sit well. I would eat refried beans with cheese melted that seem to sit better for me. Cream of Wheat was another thing I ate too.

    Re: How long do you have to wait

    Re: Serious concerns tmi

    I believe mine came a little late after my surgery but I don't keep a great monitor on it. I was kinda glad it waited so I was healed a little more.

    I agree with Paul you should be in clear liquids the first week and even then I had a hard time on protein shakes the second week. It took a couple of weeks for my pain to subside but I was...

    Re: Help!

    I have to agree about how everything is too sweet. I would try to use Unflavored Protein powers to add to your broths and tomato soups. That will help with your protein.

    Re: Flying after surgery

    Lots of people fly right after surgery. They fly to Mexico and then fly home. These are the people you should ask about that. I went to Mexico for surgery but I live next to it so no flying for me.
