They didn't check your drain other than for the leak test? Mine was emptied and measured daily at Almater Hospital. But if I remember you were underwhelmed by Mi Doctor, right?

Way. I've loved him since I was 6 years old when the Three Amigos came out in 1986. Lol

I am 3.5 weeks postop and I'm struggling to get 700 calories in a day. Per MFP I should be successful today. I'm still working to balance plenty of water and eating. I don't want to stay this low. It's better for losing to ease up and provide proper fuel.

My first big crush? And I still love him! :-D

Good idea. Many satisfied Mexi-Sleevers on here.

I'm 3.5 weeks postop. Sarge (my sleeve) and I are getting to know each other as my food stages progress. Such as we're not ready for mango yet, much to my dismay. I'm not weighing myself very often to avoid obsessing. My motto, if I don't know I'm in a stall, there is no stall! At last count I'm down 30 lbs. I'm pleased. My clothes are loosening up everyday. So far, I'm pleased. :-)

Super hero preference? Uh, duh...

You probably wouldn't have liked it.

Channing Tatum. *sigh*

Eye candy. Yep, I saw Magic Mike...

Maybe you aren't getting enough water?

I would like to have a figure like Salma Hayek or Catherine Zeta-Jones. Maybe Scarlett Johansen. No skin and bones for me. I want curves.

I'm really glad everything went well and your experience was good. Your friend and my mom are the same in their initial criticism and subsequent change if heart regarding Mx. I'm glad.

It's been my understanding that it is the exception rather than the rule... But still possible.

Amazon and Bmbrush are right. It is more fibrous than I remembered. I'm a little over 3 weeks out and I think I will give it another 3 weeks b4 tying again. And now I know my daughter's got my back!

Prayers and well wishes to you.

I'm a big fan of the Summit County metro parks and Nelson Ledges Quarry Park for cardio. Anyone know of any other hiking trails or metro parks?

Also to those who are preop and concerned about bougie size. There is very little difference on size and the smaller the bougie the higher risk for leaks.

Best of luck. Wishing you a safe and successful surgery.

36fr. Plenty of restriction 3 weeks out. Eating and drinking is still an all day event.

As posted on another thread.: Shelly's Baked Ricotta 8 oz of Ricotta cheese 1/2 cup grated Parmesan 1 large Egg, beaten 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning salt & pepper to taste 1/2 cup Marinara Sauce 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, beaten egg, seasonings together and place in a oven proof dish. Pour marinara on top and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake it in the oven @ 450 for about 20-25 minutes (best) or nuke it till hot and bubbly. I usually made it first in the oven and heated the leftovers in the microwave. this saved me in the early days!!! it is as good as it sounds
