Wow you have a carefree doc! Mine is vehemently against it and so is the rest of the office.

Thank you guys for the replies. I know it's all bad, I mean thats obvious. My dad had wls and has been suffering from drinking problems since. I have tried a couple drinks but it makes me nauseous...

I'm weighing in at 182 now. I am 11 weeks out now and I can't believe how much i've lost and how fast! I'm a comfortable size 14 when I was a 20 in April! I'm wearing normal people size 14 shorts...

I've had a couple stalls but your body needs to catch up. You can't not lose weight! I think even if you ate a few oreos and didn't do great diet wise, you will lose weight. Don't beat yourself...

Thank you guys! I will be buying some new clothes soon. I have things that fit me now, things ive kept for years and things that were way too small that fit now. I am just so happy to not see...

I am so freakin happy!!! I finally weighed in today at 199! This is the least I've weighed since before I met my husband 8 1/2 years ago. I am so happy to be out of the 200's and NEVER GOING...

So far so good, but I have zero energy. I never feel like working out even though I want to so bad (if that makes sense). I don't feel like doing housework or going anywhere. I'm just tired and...

I think you're fine. I thought that way too about certain things, but if you compare to what it was like before you quickly realize how small your stomach is now. Water has always been hard for me....

Hugs!! At first my husband wasn't into it at all either! We didn't fight terribly I just got depressed that he didn't support me (after 6 months of seeing the nut). But I said eff it i'm gonna do...

I get on the scale and for 3 days it doesn't move, then all of a sudden one morning it goes down 3 lbs! So I'm like Yay, no stall. Then for 3 more days nothing, then all of a sudden down 2 or 3 more...

There almost always something you can have. remember, it won't take much so don't worry. :) Just listen to your body and stick to softer and wet foods.

My nut told me no caffeine because it takes away calcium. I have actually steered away from coffee (my beloved) but once in awhile I need a Mio energy fix in my water.

I was 254 in April and I was ordered to lose 10 lbs on my own before they could schedule a date. They actually order me to do that months before, but I kept half ass doing it until I finally had to...

I was still on full liquids (soups and sf pudding). Too afraid to try other stuff yet! But after 2 weeks I was cleared to have soft food. Now i'm trying out some new stuff.. some thing's i'm...

Thanks guys! If I literally have a glass in my hand all day sipping constantly I can get my water in. But it also seems to make me nauseous or give me heartburn too! I filter my water to in case...

I gotta say, the hardest part is still drinking water. Im so thirsty all the time, I feel like I could drink a gallon at a time but small sips are still painful. Everything else seems to go down fine...

I just got the OK today to start pureed/mushy food and the whole time I was doing liquids I didn't have the familiar full feeling as before surgery either. I think it just has to do with the liquids...

some* not from

Each persons journey is different. I started this whole thing, with the seminar and my first appointment a year ago and so I spent the whole time listening to my NUT and doc, and others and looking...

My cousin who had the surgery a few months before me can pretty much eat whatever now, except anything fried, like fried chicken. So the day before my pre-op diet I pigged out on fried chicken and...

I can't say anything about physical complications or long term ones, but I can say at first there is a bit of buyers remorse and/or depression. I think most people here or that have had this surgery...

I am too on my 9th day, we had our surgeries on the same day! yay we're surgery twins, lol. I feel the same way though! I feel like I am able to eat a little more then i'm suppose to now. I'm on...

Haha all great advice, thanks guys! Whats funny is I feel like I already do all those things and thats what stresses me out. I clean, drive, cook, clean, organize, make calls, clean, playground, etc....

Stessssssed! I can't stress eat! boo! :(

I have a lot of tattoos, both my arms are almost fully covered and one on my foot. I plan on getting many more. But with my arms, I've actually kept underneath free of them because i've always been...
