They've added a separate forum for that procedure.

You're doing fabulously! I'm sorry for what you've been through but I"m happy you were able to deal with it ok.
Has all of that 82 lbs been since surgery or did you lose any of that on a pre-op diet?
I had surgery one day before you and I'm not doing that darned good! LOL
-
I went and dug up your earlier post in the tell your story forum earlier to wish you luck with your surgery and to say I hope it all went well.
I didn't even see this thread!
So glad everything went smoothly and that you're doing well!
Welcome to the other side!

Hey girl! I was just checking on you. You should be sleeved by now!
Hope it all went well and you are recovering nicely!
Can't wait to hear from you.

I have a Gladiator Smoothie nearly everyday. Sometimes I go to Smoothie King and get one sometimes I make them at home.
I make sure to specify I only want ONE serving of fruit in my smoothie though as the normal smoothie comes with 2.
I get either the vanilla with banana or the strawberry with strawberries.
The strawberry and banana together is a very popular one but I don't really care for it.
They also make a chocolate powder and sometimes I make that one at home with no fruit added if I've had enough carbs for the day but still need some Protein.

what is a ramekin?

That is SOO exciting!
I'm so very happy for you...I can't wait to see your post that says you're wearing size 6's!!
woohoo....
Congrats!

For those of you who drink the Premier Protein RTD shakes from costco....is this the same product? We don't have a costco anywhere around here so I've been looking for it online.

Tomorrow is a new day.
Put this day behind you and start over.
You know those things won't help you.
Don't sabotage yourself...you've given yourself a big gift...use it!

That seems to be a common occurence for people after WLS.
My best friend who has NOT had WLS but who has lost a good deal of weight over the last six months had a gallbladder attack last week and was in so much pain her hubby took her to the ER and yep...they took that sucker out. The surgery took a whole 12 minutes. That's it!
Anyway...best of luck to you...I hope you're in and out of there and can get back home soon. Please let us know how you're doing as soon as you can.
Will be thinking of you!

Yes Constipation has been a big problem for me.
In the beginning I sipped on Milk of Magnesia a few times a day per my surgeon's instructions. It got to the point where that stuff made me want to HURL. It's nasty and I couldn't stand it anymore. At about 2 months out it had gotten really bad and I had been taking Colace pills everyday for about a week and nothing had happened so I said forget this and took 3 Dulcolax. That worked.
Now that I'm eating more veggies and salads, it's not been as bad plus I'm adding Miralax to my smoothies.< /p>
I won't hesitate to take a laxative though if it gets bad.
If you're very early out, I'd use the Milk of Magnesia...it works well and works gently too.

Welcome and good luck!
This site has been invaluable to me!
It's a wonderful resource and I've made some friends too...that's always a plus!
-
I think you've done fabulously and you look great too!
But the important part is that you're doing healthy things like all that exercise...I WISH I could find some motivation and excitement for exercise. Hasn't happened yet!
Pay close attention to those inches because you're probably gaining a lot of muscle with all that exercise and muscle weighs more than fat!
I think you WILL make it to your goal...and getting refocused on your Protein is a step in the right direction!
Congrats on your success so far and I wish you continued success for the future!

Jerry my friend....that's AMAZING!
I'm doing the happy dance for you!
I'm hoping I'll get there in the next 6 weeks....maybe 8 max.
That's my plan and I'm sticking to it!
-
How exciting!! I can't wait for that day to get here!
Congrats you're doing great!

Hi HD,
Yes, I try to stay around 30 g of carbs per day. Occasionally I might go a few over..but usually I'm under.

Congrats...good loss!

Well...I had pretty much come to the conclusion after the past two months that I just don't lose anything in the 2nd half of the month. From the time I ovulate until a few days into my period, I'm pretty much at a stall.
So I was expecting the same thing this month. I'm right around ovulation time and for the past 4-5 days the scale didn't budge. I also got very constipated again. Night before last I took two dulcolax and nothing happened. Last night I took 2 more and finally it worked a little bit this morning. But before it worked, I weighed myself and dropped EIGHT POUNDS! That's the biggest drop I've seen yet. I thought...this can't be right. I got on the scale 3 more times and I even picked it up and moved it to a different location and tried again. Yep, still a drop of 8 lbs. I did take a diurex (fluid pill) last night. Maybe it's Water retention?
I did buy some Miralax and my plan is to add is to my daily smoothies but I'm a damned blonde and I keep forgetting! I think if I could remember that maybe the whole Constipation thing wouldn't get so bad.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my weird experiences..lol :001_tongue:
