Hi, Montgomery area here as well. Same doc. LOVE HIM! Congrats on your success!

My signature has been locked for over a year and won't let me change it at all. Anybody else having that problem?

I bought about 100 of those little plastic cups with lids that you get to-go sauce in from restaurants. You can just throw them away when you are done. They were a big help for me when I was starting...

Congrats to you on your success! I too have rheumatoid arthritis and have had for years. When I could no longer take NSAIDs regularly my doctor put me on Celebrex. I am also on Fetzima for...

I had all the same things Kindle reports. The pain was horrible, and I have kidney stones lol Mine never showed up on ultrasound either. Just so happened I worked for a gastro doctor at the time and...

Of course this post takes into account the backslides...I have had a few myself. But a pound or two is always better than ten. I weigh everyday without fail, just to see what works and what...

A lot of people do have trouble with it. But I was one of the lucky ones I guess. I didn't have what I would call a lot of trouble with reflux before surgery and I haven't had it even once since...

Okay... this is why I ask. The last few months I have lost EXTREMELY slow. I try not to let it get me down or set me back. I was talking to my regular doctor (who had a bypass by my same surgeon),...

I was 345 at my heaviest and 322 when I had surgery. I had no other health problems other than the weight. I had zero problems in surgery and was back at work in a week. I had to go through six...

If you Google "egg muffins", you can find a bunch of fabulous recipes. Even my 11 year old son loved them lol

At about six months out I went through a phase of making frittatas at home and putting them in the fridge. Easy to grab, pop in the microwave and go. Plus you can make them anyway and any size you...

My stomach makes so much noise its hilarious. My 11 year old son nicknamed my stomach Tiny Turtle, so anytime "he" is making a lot of noise, we just laugh about it and say he is telling me what I did...

That is too funny. My weird one is that I have bruised my tailbone TWICE!! lol I guess with less junk in my trunk I gotta quit sitting on hard surfaces for too long :)

Congrats to you! I am exactly 9 months out and have lost 100 pounds. I have been in a pretty bad stall for about two months, but it is starting to drop a little bit at a time. I stopped losing at the...

I am a Crown Royal drinker and I was two months out from surgery when I took my first drink post-op. I have had zero problems. The only thing I hoped for was the drinking less and getting desired...

As of today I have lost 100 pounds!!
**Happy Dance**

Never in my life did I ever think I would lose 100 pounds, and certainly not in NINE MONTHS!!!

Just wanted to share.

If I can do it,...

Is there a problem going on with the edit signature option?
The editable section is showing blank even though I have updated my signature at least monthly.
Please let me know if something has...

Congrats!!! That is fabulous. I know you are excited. You inspire me. Keep up the good work!

I was swallowing pain meds in large tablet form in the hospital immediately after surgery, no problem whatsoever. I am sure it is different for everyone. Now I take a powder multivitamin, simply...

I am on board with everyone else. I was on a faster track recovery-wise than most, at four days post-op I was cleared to eat tuna salad (mayo only), low fat cheese or a scrambled egg (all servings no...

I need some motivation and accountability. Anyone interested in being FitBit friends? Send me a message and I will give you my email.

Thanks bunches!! Happy "getting off my butt" to all!

I had my surgery here in Alabama and I had to do four weeks of a "slimfast" diet pre-op. My doc typically requires two to four weeks. After the restricted diet I only had to do the nothing after...

I had my surgery on a Tuesday morning, was home on Wednesday and back to work on Monday. I had zero complications and basically walked out of recovery. I have a desk job so no physical demands. Yes,...

Great to hear your pain is better. Probably passed into the bladder, won't be any pain after that. It can sit the a while or pass without you knowing. High protein can cause issues for some, but...

If it was 2 cm last year then it probably isn't that small anymore. And the frequent peeing probably means tract infection. Been there done that. Believe me. ..I know you are in pain. ..just keep...
