I am into my 6th monyh out and down 65 pounds. I agree with the several small meals vs just three and no snacks. It seems to work better for me too. I also agree about exercise... I have so much more...

Go to an ortho. It may be something other than ribs that is out of line.

Does your PCP or WLS have a dietician on staff? Maybe you could work with one to get you back on track.

What part of Texas are you from? Have you asked your surgeon about a support group? It sounds like you are doing everything right. Maybe you need to up your good fat a little. I have heard this has...

Walking and GasX really helped me. Sorry about the rough start!

I am astounded at your bravery in admitting your addiction. I am in awe of you for putting yourself out there like that. I will pray for you to get through this. I'm worried about one thing... Is...

Just make sure your doc and the anesthesiologist know about you COPD. Actually, you may want to call them before you travel to that this is already being dealt with by your arrival.

You will do fine! I had a huge amount of anxiety due to the fact that I was 57 and had never been under general anesthesia or had surgery. I had 5 kids but all natural births. I was amazed at how...
