Nothing taste as good as skinny feels................great motto think I'll use that one. get some gas x cause you will need it and a heating pad. Make your own broth and lots off it , it feels good and tastes better then canned. enpty your house of the food you have now and shop for the suff you know you need. Get a plan, right it down and keep it handy--there are days you will need more then others. dont lets other tell you who u r or who u want to be come to the chat room for hourly, daily love and advise. line-dancer

I felt just like that until my second fill I now have 6 cc in a 10 cc band. Had my surgery Aug 2012 call your doctor for a fill that will help alot. line-dancer

why is cusing the panic nothing is forever if you dont want remember that. this is a good thing think of the possitive and the long term goals in the next 3-4 weekits better everyday and the rewards r so worth it. if you could have done this without of help u would have this is help a tool only and we all need help. relax with heating pad and snapple is a treat give it s try. line dancng

Gas x, a good laxitive and a heating pad does the trick as soon as you have a BM you will feel much better its like any other other surgery you need to get the colon working, and walk a around the room several times a day that willl help I made a big pot of home made chicken broth b4 surgery then I had that and cream soups(made with water) it was good. Lose 7 lbs the first 3 days post-op. line-dancer
