Definitely will be watching this post! I also am pear shaped. Always had thighs, hips, and rear! I'm 5 weeks out and can tell I've lost in my legs but my rear end hasn't changed (of course I can't see it like other ppl can) I'm down 29.5 lbs. The stalls r killing me! I still wear same size blue jeans they're just a little roomier now lol. I can tell mostly when I put my scrubs on. -

Anybody Else Cheating?
rls41998 replied to MississippiQueen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
5wks out today and after wk 4 I was told by my dr I could eat anything I want as long as it is mush before I swallow. To wait til 7wks out before I try lettuce and salads. Every dr has their own plan and each is different. I was on cream soup day after surgery. Soft foods after 9 days. -

Walmart has whey protein shots that have 42g of protein per 3.8 oz. They're really sweet and tart but I can tolerate them. The shakes gag me now! -

Pre-Surgery Migraine Sufferers?
rls41998 replied to MississippiQueen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've suffered with migraines for yrs. After surgery on 11-4-13 I've had 2 small headaches. Before surgery I took excedrin migraine. I didn't want prescription drugs as long as the excedrin was working. Little over 4 wks out and I'm amazed at the difference. I was scared I would have to be put on prescription meds due to no more nsaids! -
