  1. Re: How did you handle your eating on New Year's Eve?

    I don't get out on New Year's Eve, I'm not a party person. The deal was New Year's Day when I got together with family for our usual lunch of the new year plus we were celebrating my birthday early....

    Re: 2 NSVs today

    I can't wait to hit that goal of getting a properly fitting bra. You don't really realize how much that matters until you either get to that point or haven't been able to for a long time. So really...
  3. Re: How long is/was your pre-op liquid diet?

    I had to do 2 weeks of pre-op liquids. It was basically the "clear" liquid diet minus the fact I could have milk with my shakes. I was miserable pretty much the whole time though after day 5 I kind...

    Re: how do you know if your on target

    Everyone loses differently. It depends on their body, what and how much they're eating, and how much they are moving and/or exercising. So no one can say if you should or shouldn't have lost more by...
  5. Re: Setting weight loss goals or just going with it

    I like this. First off I like that your doctor's goal was only to get you in a healthy BMI range, not stick a number on it directly, but that he also left it up to you. And congrats on surpassing...
  6. Re: 2 weeks post op, already sick of liquid diet, need suggestions

    I agree with Ann that you need to follow the doctor's instructions on when you can move to either the pureed diet or soft food diet. Don't ask us.

    Also agree with jerzeygirl about the bread. I can...
  7. Re: Why do different Doc's have different post op diet plans?

    I don't think anyone knows why all doctors have different instructions. Could be varying research, could be professional opinions. Either way the best thing to do is follow the instructions you're...

    Re: Burping!!!

    I was the same way the first couple of weeks after surgery. Now it's just if I drink too fast I burp, or when I'm digesting a meal I may let out a few as stuff moves around. If you're that concerned...

    Re: Timing

    I didn't meet the surgeon until 2 weeks before the actual surgery. My first visit after the consultation was with the surgeon's assistant (aka a nurse) and then I had to do 8 months of dietician...
  10. Re: If one more person tells me or my husband I am lossing to much weight I will scream!!!!!

    I remember back in 2012 when I got down to something like 285lbs and I just started to feel my collarbone. Do you know how happy I was? Nobody that saw me was concerned if I mentioned that, they just...
  11. Re: Setting weight loss goals or just going with it

    Oh wow. I am seriously sorry you're experiencing such lack of information from the office. If I were you I'd find the appropriate person and call them and ask dozens of questions until you get the...
  12. Re: Missed Xmas target loss of 100 lbs by 6 lbs

    Hey, that's actually not a bad miss. That's pretty much by a hair. Be proud anyway and have yourself a lovely holiday! :)
  13. Re: Setting weight loss goals or just going with it

    I'm half glad and mildly upset I'm not the only one who found the nurses and such more helpful before they cut me open. Maybe they figure by this time you should know everything? The other weird...
  14. Re: Setting weight loss goals or just going with it

    I've been meaning to measure myself because I KNOW I am losing inches by the bucket full, but I keep forgetting. And really I'm not all too concerned about the scale either, it says what it says but...
  15. Re: Hello .. I am 5 days post op and things are going great !!! I am so shocked this has been so easy honestly ...

    Everyone is different, so I don't know if I'd consider you lucky or not. Your journey just happened to start off on a better note than some. And believe me, that's a good thing. My own process wasn't...

  17. Re: Lower BMI cut off points needed for Asian Americans

    Medicine is still so very far behind on so many things, I can't even begin to tell you. I agree though that they need to take into consideration different circumstances for different races instead of...
  18. Setting weight loss goals or just going with it

    So the last thread I made was to humiliate the surgeon's assistant and the dietician associated with the Bariatric center that did my surgery.

    I'm here to do that again.

    Now don't get me wrong...
  19. Re: If one more person tells me or my husband I am lossing to much weight I will scream!!!!!

    Hon, you look great. You don't look ill or too thin, you look healthy and not just from your weight loss but the look on your face. That glow. And as said before as long as your doctor and dietician...

    Re: advice needed....crushed pills

    Check with your pharmacist about your meds. Not only to see if they can be crushed, but if it's possible to get them in liquid form instead. The pharmacist would know better than the doctor.

    As...

  24. Re: 369 day of surgery ..5 days out and now I'm 384

    Sounds like you've had a bit of a rough time so far. But yes I'd wager those are fluids from the IV that was in you the entire time you were at the hospital. Might I suggest avoiding the scale for a...
