Yummy... got to try it! Thanks Dee!

Another vote for Unjury!

Great news! Keep on keeping on!

Been there done that. I had a tough time parting with some things, but I eventually gave in. I sure don't want to fit into them again. Sell them or donate them, whatever makes you feel best and go shopping girl!

NO MORE POTATO CHUNKS!

I never had them, but that doesn't mean it isn't normal. If it continues call the doctor!

Come on Banjo. Kick his a$$ and get with the program. Or we will come do it. Tell him to trust you, he does not want to take on all of us! LOL

Tummy tuck. It will make all your clothes fit better. And I agree with Cheryl, just stuff the boobs in a sturdy bra! Congratulations on reaching your goal!

Welcome Vanessa and congratulations on taking step to improve your life. Happy to answer any non-medical questions you may have. My primary advice is follow doctor's orders.

Sounds like a bit too much for day 2! Give your body time to heal. Eat what your doctor told you to eat. Keep stuff on the burner is need be.. Or do you have a microwave? Then you just heat small amounts.

I stand corrected Cheryl... feeling satisfied is what I should have said. Thanks for catching me!

Good luck.. some of the gas just has to re-absorb and will not come out either end. Take it easy the rest of the day and follow your post-op directions! Call the doctor's office when in doubt. We have experience, but no MDs! At least I do not!

Eating fast is a killer. And... Talk or eat, we can no longer do both at the same time. My mama always told me to chew with my mouth shut anyhow... guess I should have listened better! LOL

Congrats on beginning your life with the band. Now for gosh sakes, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, follow you doctor's orders!

TRY to follow your doctor's orders.

We all learn from successful people. Sure, I have been less than gushy in some of my responses, but I am human and I get frustrated too. Let's all agree to try not to take it out on someone else. Those with genuine questions, ask on. BUT those who want to get permission to ignore doctors' advice and the program they signed up for,... Please don't waste your time asking questions YOU KNOW the answer to. Just because you don't want to do it does not make it right or good for you! Those who advise I value are the successful ones, like Floridays. Look for ways to make the journey more fun, because no one ever said it would be easy!

Whoa there! You ARE losing. Give it time! You are just two weeks out. Measure your food and eat until you are full.

Looking great! Keep up the good work!

You could also try Almond milk. The unsweetened is low in calories and Carbs

A lot of us have been where you are now. This group is very supportive, honest and caring. We will be your friends every step of the way. Do something for you for a change!

Hot tea, SF apple cider, sf Popsicle, chicken or beef broth.

I think you may be overfilled. Never eat for an hour, the stomach dumps out every 20-25 minutes and you can seriously overeat. If it is taking that long to get down your usual portion it is time for an unfill.

But you are down! It is about healthy weight, not dress size!

I seriously know of no one who died on the post-op diet. We have all been there. Surgery and recovery is emotional. What did you expect?

Definitely yes!
