god i knew i loves you

well said

i asked my hub this question, as he was a AF recruiter for 15 yrs......he said the paperwork would have to be approved (and reviewed) and signed off on and if it approved (ok'd), as long as person was in weight standards, no reason not too..but .....again, have to be approved by medical...hope this helps.

did the dr okay you to move to pureed so soon as surgery? the insides are swollen and sore from just having major surgery. if you are in pain or scared, call your dr and let them advise you.

i like option 1 but i am not a doctor. i am sure the dr wil do what is best for you. bless your heart. this sounds just awful...hang in there. sending much positive pink vibes from nc that i can..

this post helped me. if it helps (one person) as i see it, it is helpful

i am a terrible guesser......hence why i have not won the lottery in my life yet.

and if you dont (see me) eat it, it doesnt count either

i agree with all the posts.... i am very aware of all i put into my mouth body now and from being a dieter my entire adult life, i can quote the cal contents of everything....even sammys cabo wabo tequila i know 3500 cals equals a pound and if i take in (eat more) then i burn off i will gain.......i dont focus so much on cal counting, but i do portion control by measuring strictly (as i have posted pictures of my lunches/snacks etc) if only the newbies listened to the dr and the nutritionists and not over think it....eat better food in smaller amounts (let band help) and see what happens..

i feel it when i touch mine esp when i am walking..i like knowing its there..my helper......i dont feel it much otherwise..

if worried, always call and tell the dr/nurse and let them advise you and proud of you for doing that as you dont read that on this forum much..its more (my arm fell off what should i do?? ) i dont feel it is a big deal, just part of the healing process but if it does concern you, go in and have them take a looksee

i battled that in pre op and found out it is true..(seeing hub eat some snacks or people here at work eating something)......so when i (think) i am hungry, i drink something.....that usually settles the issue. but if i am truly hungry, i eat some protein to feed my body....i dont fret over it too much.

This is something wonderful!!

congrats on the new baby on the way

atta girl

dont be scared..be happy your this close to making yourself well the band will help you if you help it.. 10 months ago i was 336 pounds......it can be done if you (really) want it when it gets tough and it will, the main thing is to keep going let us know how your apts went.

i admit..........i went to the cutter.............sorry

for YOU

coming to fly over texas on my magic carpet to drop a pink glitter bomb over your head and the chicken coop........warning you.....be on the look out for a pink flying magic carpet (most likely swerving around clouds)......

my fave part jeannie: All you need to do is do your best, day by day, to work with your strengths and work around your weaknesses

eating chicken doesnt sound bad (here i was thinking it was a pizza or something like that). so you ate. so you ate more than you thought you should have.....move on and do better today.

yep, liquid goes straight through....i asked my dr this on my 1st follow up 2 weeks post op......
