Dr. Hoehn is my surgeon too. I'll definitely have him do my tuck, when it's time. :)

Congrats girl!!!!!

I am an RN too, a night shifter. I know what you mean, sometimes I realize its 4 am and I haven't had time to even pee, let alone eat or drink! So I bring a bottle of water or a water bottle and keep...

That is awesome!!! Congrats and good work! :)

That is great! I'm 6 weeks out and down 42lbs since preop (23 since surgery making it 3.8lbs per week so far).

I've been at a 'stall' too. I have done a ton of searching on the boards and came to the conclusion that this is normal. I am trying to stay off the scale. This morning I put on a scrub top that I...

When my preop labs came back, I found out my Vitamin D level was 7... very deficient. My PCP sent a script to my pharmacy for Vit D. It didn't delay my surgery. :)

You look great! Love the swimsuit! Where did you get it??

I'm definitely interested!!!

Definitely!!!! Very inspiring! Keep it up and thanks for sharing!!

I get shellac'd and had it on during surgery (forgot to soak off..or was too lazy to do it!?!). I had zero issues with the pulse ox machine. :)

My staples were removed at my 1 wk postop appt and steri-strips were applied. All have fallen off (and the sites look great), except for the strips on my main incision where my stomach was removed....

Yep, went braless with just the gown on. I put a sports bra on the next morning when I was discharged. :) Oh and other clothes as well haha.

no way! I want some watermelon!! I declined it at my moms yesterday. wish you would have posted this yesterday haha. I have not puréed anything. just chew chew chew :)

Thanks for posting this. It was like you read my mind. I've been at 231 for a few days and keep thinking wtf! I'll stop obsessing over the scale for several days. Glad I'm not the only one feeling...

my before is in my OU shirt haha. but all rivalries aside, i bet it's great to get to wear a LADIES size shirt!! I have men's xl's and I can't wait to sport all the cute sports shirts this fall. :)

you look fabulous!!! but the shirt...bleh! Boomer Sooner ;)

One incision? That's awesome Lindsey!

P.s can I have your lashes?! :)

I started on deli meat, string cheese, soft eggs and other soft foods on post op day 7. I use my nutritionists menu as a guideline. For example it says breakfast: 2tbsp applesauce and 2tbsp Greek...

I had staples. They were taken out at my 1 wk post op appt. How are you doing? We had surgery on the same day. :)

I was allowed 'well-cooked and peeled' veggies 1 week out. I have yet to try any...

I had 2tbsp this morning and it went down okay. Glad yours did too!

LOL! Those little stinkers! I never knew it was considered good luck...good to know! One got me while I was riding in a boat going 40mph. Gave everyone a good laugh! Thank goodness I just had to jump...

I'm also 7 days out. I get to add soft solids and so far, I've tolerated them well. I don't know what you're allowed to have 7 days out, because it seems every surgeon has different rules. But I've...

I do the same thing. I put a pill in my mouth, a little water, then tell myself 'just swallow it!' about 10 times then I get it down. I was the same before surgery though, I hate taking pills! Good...
