you JUST had surgery... expect to not feel GREAT for a week or two.
I was having waves of stomach pains for a few days and finally called my doc, who told me to take nexium and the pain was gone, so...

hi everyone. A few weeks after my surgery I developed a cold and took some liquid cold medicine at work (coldeez). About an hour later, I was in a meeting and had waves of stomach pains and nausea. I...

you need to decide if you want to succeed. I know it's easy to say, "of course I do!" but if you have a small voice that says, "I also want to eat whatever I want, whenever I want", then the voice...

As others have said, every doctor's postop advice is different, so there's no real correct answer. If you can tolerate it, you're fine. start small and slow.

LOL... your response is awesome because it's exactly what I was thinking.
One thing that I found really interesting is that I also experienced TONS of energy after my surgery (not the first week or...

My doctor didn't give me a goal weight but I had decided that I wanted to get to 148lbs. that's the lowest I've ever been as an adult, and JUST into the normal weight range for my height. I'm 153...

congratulations! you look RADIANT, happy, and most important... healthy!

I am about 14 months post up.
I had some hair loss at about 4 months. I was noticing a lot coming out in the shower and then one day I was washing my hair for the first time in 2 days and a HUGE...

thanks everyone! I joined the gym at work and today I ran (SUPER slow) an entire mile. :)

I love reading your posts and as someone who is one year out... I agree with you 100%. You've done great!
also, I too am LOVING my instant pot! lol... Look for a recipe for deconstructed egg rolls....

Hi. Like the others, I'm also sorry you had such a hard time.
I only took pain meds in my IV on my first day, and it was really for the gas pain and sore throat from the breathing tube (I was...

Yes, I've tried that app before. I was heavier when I did though, and would get stuck at week 3 forever and then give up. This time, I didn't do the app, but I am doing some interval running and...

1. That's a GREAT wig. I would never know that wasn't your real hair.
2. you look GORGEOUS. so healthy and beautiful.

So at the one year mark (2 weeks ago), I think I was down 91lbs. I started a bit over 250. Today, I'm 158. I'm wearing size 8 jeans (and they aren't tight), but I have size 6s that fit. I'm also...

yes, it's very normal. It happens to a lot of people right at 3 weeks.
As long as your pureed food isn't ice cream, you're probably fine. :)

YAY! congrats! I recently noticed mine as well. I also realized that my ULTIMATE weight goal of 148 is less than 17 pounds away. I started off just wanting to be under 200. Then I decided I'd be...

EVERYONE has experienced that. or almost everyone. It's very very common. Give it a week or two.

I haven't been counting calories lately, but I have counted them for so long that I'm fairly aware of how much I'm eating.

Breakfast:
non-fat greek yogurt (80 calories)
non-fat string cheese...

You look fantastic!! great job!

HEY! welcome! I am also in NJ! I had my surgery on April 17th and I'm down around 83lbs. My surgeon was GREAT and I couldn't be happier.

The before pic was on a walk. I had to take a break to catch my breath, even though it was flat ground. I had no idea I looked that bad until I saw the picture. I think I was around 255 there.
The...

Good job on your weight loss! I had my surgery the day before you. I get hungry/bored before bed too, so I have a few things I'll snack on that are low in calories - snack pack of peaches in water (I...

Hey, we started at around the same weight. I had my surgery done in April 2017 and I'm happy to tell you... I can easily cross my legs now! AND my arms, which I could not do. I thought I'd never be...

Welcome! I'm 7.5 months post op and like most others, this was the BEST thing I ever did. I also yo-yo'd my whole life, and have always been an "all or nothing" kind of person. I'm either watching...

you look amazing and GORGEOUS!!
