Yeah you need to exercise to keep it off lol. And Soups can fill u up really quick. U just have to sip them really slowly. rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 199/ gw 137 -
I had the same pains too but it turned out i had a pouch of Fluid near my ribs that developed right after surgery. When in doubt, always ask for a catscan. I ended up with a chest tube and pneumonia for a month rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 199/ gw 137

I got pneumonia and had to be hospitalized pretty much my whole first month. I had to have a chest tube put in my lung thru my rib cage to drain my lung cuz one was 100% filled then i was sent home with a pic line IV. (an iv they put in ur shoulder and it goes to ur heart). that was for antibiotics and i had that for 2 weeks. It was really tough. My surgery was april 6th, and i had my pic line taken out the first week of may. I was feeling myself again by the 3rd week of may. I deff dont regret it though! ive had amazing results! rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 199/ gw 137

So dont listen to people who tell you that after 2 yrs u will start gaining weight. Thats not true! You get what you put in!!! i know plenty of people who have lost all their weight and kept it off for years! you will develop a healthier way of eating so if you continue that way then you wont gain back your weight. And idk why ur doc told you no soup. I have soup all the time! rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 201/ gw 137 -
