I started researching and lived on this web site from the moment I registered for the options nutrition class, so 6 months full of research I had so much information I felt I was ready for anything.......so I am going to say its an abnormal normal to be obsessed with researching our wls lol..........Be patient and good luck on your journey

You look fabulous!

Hello and Welcome...........I have similiar story... same age and work for a hospital for 16 years and have great insurance. I was sleeved on June 24 th and feel amazing and soon you will too.........Good luck to you and this is a wonderful source of information and the people are terrific..

You should report the tech , because what if she does that to other patients who dont speak up for themselves? She is paid to do ultrasounds and not therapy work.......good luck on your wls journey

7am B - 1 egg overeasy 10am- Brie cheese ball 1pm L - 1-2 ounces eggplant and turkey meatball lasagna 4pm - 1-2 ounces refried Beans with melted cheese 7 or 8pm D- 1 crab leg with cant belive its not butter....yum yum

Good Afternoon, I tried to find the calories in the ricotta bake from eggface recipiesyou said you posted in recipes , but I was unable to find it,,,,if you have a minute can you send me the link to it.......thank you and have a great weekend

Here here Weho,,,,,,,,,,,,,great post and great way to think. I am only a month out and have adapted the same attitude...I am no longer increasing my weight gain and I feel great , eventually Ill get to where I should be and until then will enjoy every minute of this sleeve

My surgeon said the gummies are fine, just double them ...so I eat 4 a day

I just went and bought centrum because I too was taking gummies and thinking its not good enough ...but I took centrum for two days and can't do it anymore so went back to gummies,calciumchews and b12 shots

Wow ........you look amazing, and I too was in the one cheek on the chair club.....I am one month out and am 1 1/2 on chair now......keep up the great work

I agree with previous post, your body isnt getting enough nutrients so unti you start eating even if its a few bites of refried Beans or scramble eggs your body will hold onto the fat supply....just take baby steps!

I have heard that there is just less ghrenelin because there is less stomach either way we are eating less and if have learned to eat healthy we will all do great

Well Im one month out and feel amazing. I have had no pain inside or where incisions are. I just was told I can eat everything again except for red meat,pork,rice,pasta,bread and no grapes but everything else is fair game.....Still cant get in all my water and just getting protein from food so far, but since I can add fruit Im gonna try a protein drink with bananna in it and see if it tastes better.I have dropped 20 pounds in 30 days and feel great. Still dont exercise much due to my knees but sometimes slow and steady wins the race .

The EAS shakes at costco are good, and you dont have to worry about mixing Water or milk.....Good luck on your journey and just take it one day at a time

It will go pretty quick after your surgeons visit........good luck on your wls journey

Just wondered how everyone managed to swallow the nexium or acid pills given by there M.D if you can barely drink water....surgery in 3 days so just curious..........

Think it depends on your pain tolerance, I had m surgery last friday and I stopped using the pain pump at midnight that same night and havent used any pain meds since I left. The only pain and it was just a pain in the butt was the gas, but that subsided within two days. I feel great just tired most of the time but getting in the fluids an protein just fine. I was scared oughta my mind and looking back now it was wasted energy lol, but we have to go through that tunnel to reach the great path we are on now........Good luck

Well less then 12 hours to go and Im scared oughta my mind.The worst thing right now is I have been reading this site for 6 months and never recall reading anyones horror story of the 10 ounces of Magnesium you must ingest and then spend the next 6 hours in the restroom in agonizing pain............For anyone who hasnt had the treat of this liquid pipe cleaner , Im warning you now .

Very sweet of you to do this.........looks great.Thanks for taking your time out to make such a cute list

Surgery is less then 12 hours away and Im not at the excited stage, Im still at the Im scared out of my mind stage......please send your prayers my way. Why am I not excited for this chance at a new, healthier life??

Thank you guys for your words....I am home now , they kept me an extra day due to dry heaving. I told them it was from the nausea medication and sure enough when they stopped all meds I felt fine. I went in with migrane and nausea and they actually considered cancelling because it might be an underlying issue. I said no please dont lol...Anyways feel great today and down 10 pounds since friday, thank you to everyone that has giving me guidance and kind thoughts. So glad to be on the new road together....
