I know every doctor is different, but my doctor said crushing pills is absolutely unnecessary. I was swallowing pills whole 2 days post op in the hospital.

I did because the doctor had it on my list. I tried chicken. It was DISGUSTING. lol.

I am 9 months out and I can eat way more now than I used to. For example, I ate an 8 piece grilled nugget from chickfila today. Some days I can eat more than others. Some days I feel like I can...

I had extreme hiccups the night of my surgery in the hospital. I didn't vomit though. I had a lot of anti nausea medicine.

I am 8 months out today, and I still have nausea when I drink certain things. Shakes have never sat well on my stomach since I had surgery. I stopped trying to drink them a long time ago. Good luck!

I went to GNC

I did this during the early stages. You can't just "sprinkle" it in. You have to use like two big ol scoops and it makes the soup thick and pasty....and it still had a certain taste to it.

Yes, for the first month, anytime I would drink I would feel my chest tighten up and it was so painful. The doctor called it spasms and I took Reglan for it. As long as I took the Regland I was fine....

Congrats! We are in the same place. I started at 265 as well. Been 198.6 the past 3 days. Yay us!

1. I did not have a catheter at all. Where I was at they said they don't do catheters because they can introduce infections into the body, also because they want you up and moving around after...

I just went back and check my stats and at 8 weeks I had lost 31 lbs since day of surgery. That is not far off from where you are. I just hit 6 months yesterday and I have lost 64 lbs (59 since day...

Anyone on here have it? I think I do. Trying to self diagnose here. Every night around 10 pm my legs start hurting...just the bottom half-below the knee. It's like an aching hurt with a little...

To be honest there is no guarantee you won't die here in the US in surgery. No one is guaranteed that. Death is on the list of potential wrong goings. I had to sign a paper that I understood that....

Congrats! I was at 201 this morning. SO CLOSE.

My out of pocket was $2,000 as well and since it was an elective surgery, they required full payment in advance. They did not allow any payment plans. I put $800 on my credit card and paid $1,200 out...

That is something I haven't done in who knows how long. I had some time to kill today with my husband and we went to the mall. I tried on clothes just for fun. I have always loved NY&CO but haven't...

Some days I am hungry frequently and some days I can hardly eat anything. If I am hungry frequently I just try to make sure to eat a lean protein. I also wanted to tell you that my surgeon and...

Seems like you should find a different primary care doctor. If you have the insurance benefits then you should use them.

First of all was this the surgeon? Second of all, you need to talk to your insurance company about approval, not the doctor. Most insurances require a BMI of 40 or more or a BMI with 35 or more with...

clear-jello, broth, popsicle.....full-yogurt, cream soup, pudding....

They most likely will. They gave it to me. They also gave it to my daughter both times she had tubes put in her ears. She was acting all drunk. It was funny.

I know it can be frustrating to see a gain on the scale, but a scale is not a magical instrument. Your body is made up of so many things and the scale just weighs them all. Keep this in mind- you...

Personally, I think those expensive vitamins are a scam. I get mine at Wal-mart. Centrum multi-vitamin chewable and Citracal chewable....for like $10

I take Prevacid 30 mg per day (prescription) and it keeps the acid away. Without it, I have really bad acid and I wake up in the night choking on acid. I am almost 6 months out and I still have to...

I take Citracal gummies. They taste good.
