Hey ladies my surgery was 11/11/11 n i really don't know what size I have UV would think I would b smart n ask but that will definitely b a question I get answered mon.....I have lost 75 lbs since the surgery n now I'm slowing down with the weight loss but I am Def losing inches....oh god how nice it feels to be able n shop in regular stores n not hit the plus size section .....I went from 24 pant to a 16...."doing the happy dance " lol....how r u guys with lettuce? .... have u found any problem. Food yet...n sleeping that was horrible they didn't numb it ....I would Def bring that IP ...so not cool

Hey guys...Nicole glad u r feeling much better n sleeping u have nothing to worry bout with the fill its so fast n painless ....my doc usually has me sit n drink some water before I leave afterwards ....I have another appointment next Monday but may him take some out this time I'm at 6 ccs but I'm very restricted with it....I been doing alot of liquids n mush the last few days.... bit overall I love the feeling I'm in...especially with all the compliments I been getting ..

Maybe the pill is to big......crazy they didn't give u liquid ...u should ask ur pharmacy if they can....as far as ur incision try to keep it covered with a sterile bandage ..so its not touching your clothes ...once u get over this hump maybe u will enjoy it more...

Nicole glad u called ur doctor .....hopefully u feel better with the meds.... Sleeping not to far away.....

Where r u ladies located? I'm in New Jersey

Nicole I agree with sleeping beauty call the doc.....i did the same thing waited ....it turned out I had to get my gall bladder removed I suffered aweekbc I didn't want to be a bother... Sleeping with me I felt that all the time in the beginning ...for me I was a chicken person....but for some reason no matter how much a chew I couldn't break it down even till today I have trouble with certain food....dont drink anything before or after u eat at least for 30 minutes ....ur gonna learn foods u can n cannot eat.....I work as an emt n eating slowly was very difficult to get use to bc we are always on the go.....

Nicole sorry to hear about the pain....try to numb it with some ice not to long just until u feel some relief....maybe some tylenol ...u may want to contact ur doc....they should have a 24 hour person on duty that may be able to help u out more....r u diabetic by chance?.....hope u feel better

Hey ladies glad ur doing good enjoying the mushies.....now with solid food just chew n chew some more ....it goes down so much more easier ....the weight loss is gonna start slowing down....but just stay positive ....

So I just ordered the Sunkist orange shots off amazon hopefully they taste good lol....that's my downfall not having enough protein... thanks Nicole for the idea....i wish my doc had this in his office ...

Nicole where do u get the Sunkist shots never heard of them n I can use the extra protein..

Well I hated the scale as well especially with it at 323....the month before the surgery once a week I hated seeing the numbers....after I lost my first 20 I was so excited....as it continues to drop I'm excited ...just not happy for that plateau to come.....I have had 3 fills I'm at 6 ccs right now and I don't think I'm gonna get another fill for a few months doc said I was losing to much to fast.....not because I'm not eating but BC I'm do much more active gym 5 days a week ....lots of water....n more aware of what I an eating.....learning how to eat again n what u can break down is an adventure .....but we can all do it...my friends don't really understand what we are going thru....but by chatting in here keeps me so motivated ....don't give up people...

Nicole did u have ur gall bladder removed?..... if not I was experiencing that pain a month after my surgery n ended up having to get my gall bladder removed ......

Sleeping beauty that sux....but its gonna get better once u start getting more nutrients in ur system ...my doc wouldn't let me go back to work for 6 weeks...he wanted me to get use to the lifestyle change and that was one of the reasons the cycle.....ur already lacking energy n with that ur just completely drained ...hope u feel better

Lol luckily when I go out to eat its with my niece n nephew....but nephew orders from the adult menu lol...within 2 months I think I started but with soup....big difference in portions n money that is saved....lol... As far as the chicken all types ....I know the skin is very bad for u but if its crispy it goes down......I have come to learn the crisper or mushier food the easier it goes down.....
