Hope u feel better soon. I am always worried about that too. God Bless

Looking good

Dannon' light and fat free 80 cal and 12 pro....taste good

I was not told that. But I go to support grp on tues will check with my NUT.

My surgeon doesn't do purée he takes you from liquids to soft food and slowly advance when u r ready. Meats are still a problem for me, but chili it really sets good in my pouch no matter whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner. I am always worried about throwing up so if my stomach feel upset i just use sf peppermint or gum. All surgeon are different it depends on the technique used. I didn't have a drain tube or staples, just glue over my incision when I healed it fell off.

LOL! I am sure you are going to be just fine. Let me know how it works out for you. Good Luck

Congrats

Lol, a woman after my own heart love my heating pad. I put it on me and everything is alright in my world

Congrats on being high-lighted in wls news letter

Great job on lose of 38 lbs! I had the same worries as you did losing to fast and looking sickly but my surgeon explained , you will only look sickly if you are just losing fat. However, if you go to the gym and build muscle ( 3-4 times a wk) you will shape up and look healthy. So today im joining planet fitness basiic membership $10 a month. God bless SD 1/14/13.....WL 23. Lbs

I had that happen with turkey I was praying to throw up but it never happen I was miserable for hour until I took a tums and that gave me relief. It was the worst feeling ever.

Cute

I went to the doc's office yesterday for my 4 week follow up appointment, he said my body has healed nicely. I'm down 21.4 lbs which is on the low end but normal and now he wants me to eat 6 times a day advised me i was not eating enough and to exercise 3 to 4 times a week OMG and plus Protein and fluids. I am signing up for planet fitness which just moved in my area membership is $10 a month. Oh and BTW I am on my way back to work on On Sunday foe my regular 10 hr shift ( let the fun begin). Pray 4 me.

I am 55 SD 1/14/2013.

My mouth is alway dry too have to keep drinking Water all the time at night it is worse.

I eat 3 to 4 times a day I eat tablespoons (this doesn't incl. Protein or fluids) depend on how hungry I am. It is different for each person I found that 1/4 to 1/2 c is to much at one time gives me a tummy ache. However today I ate a sm wendy's chili not all at once. It took me about several hours to eat it. I hope this helps Surgery 1/14/2012 wgt. 234 I am 5 weeks out. lost 21 lbs current wgt. 213.

Way to go! Keep up the good work.

I feel the same way! My Nut. told me the pouch will stretch overtime, but I don't think you have to worry about over eating and stretching it, because if you do the experience will not be pleasant and you will know not to do that again. I hope that help. Maybe someone else has some words of wisdom I am 5 weeks post op.

Welcome to the losers bench.
