Benadryl has always been my fall back when I can't sleep-- that or tylenol PM... benadryl is just an antihistamine, but I'm not having any sort of reaction right now (which was when they told me I...

I lost 25 pounds at first and have lost NOTHING in 3 weeks. I haven't gained... but no loss. I will say this though, in those 3 weeks I've lost 3 inches off my waist and 2-3 off my hips and bust. ...

I've got some-- I haven't given it a shot yet though!!!

I'm desperate for some sleep-- I have a bit of insomnia while my husband is deployed, and... well, the insomnia is here. I'm exhausted and really desperate to just get some sleep. Benadryl is fine...

My NUT says 90g carbs a day... carbs total-- not carbs minus fiber (which is net carbs). I'm about 6 weeks out and totally don't get that much. I average about 50.

I needed a lot of naps still at 3 weeks post op. I have a 9 year old and a 3 year old and I was feeling the same way. I took advantage of the 3 year old napping while the 9 year old was at school. ...

I'm 6 weeks out and tolerating most things quite well-- As everyone has said before, work at your own pace. I chew things super carefully and get about 550-600 calories a day-- between 6 meals. I'm...

I've been stalled since week 3. I'm about to lose it. I'm now 6 weeks post op and the scale hasn't budged in three weeks. Ugh.

Any tips/tricks/do I just wait this out?

Awesome!!!!!! Woohooo!!!!!!!

Yep guys-- She was po'ed. She told me I wasn't eating enough!!!!! Oops. Like major oops.

Siri and I don't have a great relationship ever since I told her she was an explicative of an explicitive and she told me not to swear, and I threw her.

How do I not know how to change this. Holy mother of the sweet baby jebus.

Tomorrow is my nutrition follow up and oof. She's going to crucify me. For what I have and for what I haven't. I DID find that the protein shots are fairly palatable and a good way to get in a bit...

My surgeons were so weird about BCP-- they said it increased my risk for bleeding internally during surgery and was a no-go. I have an IUD, but I've had kids. Go back to your gyno and figure out...

That all depends on your insurance and doctor, to be honest!!

Seriously. I did way too much yesterday and today I've been so exhausted I think I could happily have slept for most of it. Oh wait, I did. Yesterday I walked nearly 2 miles on the beach, then...

Yes. Trusting farts is the worst idea ever. I'm skipping days of dulcolax and just kind of riding it out. I'm on purees now!!! Day one!!!!

The ones I was taking before I was sleeved I puked right back up after the surgery-- Now I'm on two flintstones chewables a day (one in the morning and one at night).

I believe Tums are actually calcium carbonate, which I'm pretty sure my doctor would-- do whatever the Army does to people when they're bad-- string me up a yardarm? No, that's Navy still. Yeah--...

Does your insurance do "medically necessary" plastic surgery under any circumstances? I found out mine does, so I'm keeping up with the documentation and crossing my fingers... and saving just the...

Please tell me there's a small size chewable or gummy calcium citrate out there that I can take-- Has anyone heard of one?

I read something really interesting in my bariatric pamphlet about this-- Apparently in our program we're supposed to take calcium citrate and not calcium carbonate as calcium carbonate can lead to...

I am super fancy and have been instructed to take 2 flintstones chewables with iron per day. I throw every thing else up. Gross.

I can, and do, take the pills prescribed to me just fine. However, caffeine is a whole different ball of wax that you should really talk to your nutritionist about.

Man I'd shank someone for a prune. I'm having to back off my dulcolax cause it's uh, just too much. Just... just too too much. Dulcolax is the cats pajamas. The softgels.
