YESSSSSS!!!!! Wish this had been an option twenty years ago....

well, the parties over :0) lol...back to work tomorrow...hafta' admit, i'm a bit nervous...hopin' i can keep up...it's pretty face paced there so gonna' give it my best...gonna weigh in on Tues..took a peek today & i'm excited!!! have my first post op nutritionist appt tomorrow , then surgeon on Wednesday....still feelin' kinda' tired, but i'm guessin' it'll pass....hope everyone's had a great weekend :0) wish me luck!!

lol...im glad u like it :0) im a big Hello Kitty fan :0) just go into ur profile, then edit settings and upload a picture from ur computer..u can google Hello Kitty images and right click ur mouse to 'save as' then just add it from ur computer...hope this helps :0)

here we go.... so thankful to b feeling so much better today. for some reason i felt worse when i came home from the hospital for the first 3 days....completely miserable.it was so bad i didnt even care if i was losing any weight, just wanted to not hurt :0( admittedly i have about zero tolerance to pain, so im sure many others dont have this experience. but..... im SO excited!! today is one week post op....just got on the scale & it says 239!!! yaaaah! looking forward to see how much progress i can make now that im actually feeling better :0) btw, anyone know how to update the weight loss ticker? duh...kinda' technologically challenged ;0) anyway, have a GREAT day everyone! :0)

i was off two weeks, but caught a stomach virus and missed 2 more days :0(

well, week three was a tough week...only lost 1 pound....kinda' crazy cuz i was so sick....but anyway...doin MUCH better this week, got rid of that awful stomach virus and lost two more lbs! yaaaah! feelin better overall now that im taking vitamins....hope everyones doin great! :0)

i confess: it's been two weeks and i feel pathetic for feeling so crappy and almost ungrateful i have moments i don't care if i EVER lose weight, i just wanna feel good i daydream of blowin off guys that pay attention to me after i lose weight, - u didnt want me fat, u dont deserve me after im not!- im so freakin' IMPATIENT for everything!!! it's painful that some already seem 'jealous', like i got a frickin' free pass or somethin'! IM SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS SITE & ALL THE SUPPORT FROM SO MANY!!!

i get this too & im only 2 weeks post op....ive backed off regular foods & returned to broths....i did notice it happened when i ate too fast-go figure.....sitiing in a reclined position helps.....my dr told me it's normal....hope this helps :0)

hang in there! im two weeks post op & had ups & downs...going back to broth cuz 'regular' was just too filling & painful....but this will pass....hafta say not feeling hungry is AMAZING!! hope ur feeling better soon :0)

hey everyone :0) did my second weigh in....down 6 more lbs! excited, but not feelin' so hot after tryin' to advance my diet to more regular food....seems my belly isn't wanting to cooperate :0( came home sick from work today & gonna' take the next two off....droppin' back to the broth & cream of wheat for a couple days for a break....time will tell...hope eveyone is doin' well! :0)

smt216....ty!!! i go n soon...kinda' nervous....hope ur day is going well! u have little ones, so ur second shift will start when u get home :0)....let me know how it goes :0)

thank u, Err122!! :0)

hey everyone! thanks for replying....hope all is well & everyone is getting some relief from their tummy troubles :0) to b honest, today is the 1st day i had almost normal bowel movements-yaaaah! lol...it wasn't pretty day 3-6 :0( didn't take anything for it, figured it would work itsself out... msdenali- my surgeon recommends weekly weigh ins to avoid the panic....i do know the day i came home from the hospital i had actually gained 2 lbs! to say i was miffed is an understatement, lol...there i was feelin horrible AND was fatter to boot! obviously, its worked out...probably the iv fluids...dont' sweat it tho, ur gonna b fine :0) as for me, im not a shake person, actually gags me :0( ive been hitting the cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, cream of wheat, & chicken broth...i figure, after im clear to eat more regular food im gonna stick to proteins...i did start Natures Bounty Biotin 5000 super potency today to hopefully ward off any or most hair loss....hope this helps :0) Coykoi- yeah, it does take time, but thank goodness the pain subsides! i'm such a baby...truely cant stand pain :0( the walking helped, but wore me out at first....did i mention im SO freakin' glad i dont hurt now?? lol stomlin75-hope ur feelin better :0) im hopin u get some relief by day 5 or 6....thankfully i did! the short walks helped & weird, but raising my arms above my head while reclining made a huge difference, too. last night was the first night i slept the entire night in bed :0) things r looking up! :0)
