I went home with 10 days of shots/ twice a day. Aside from some awful bruising and injection site swelling, it wasn't terrible

Anyone Else Have No Problems?
Beachbum replied to RoundedRed's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was June 21 so about 9.5 weeks ago. Not one problem but I also felt like you...just waiting. I did have some pain once when I ate a little too fast but otherwise fine. I hope this continues for you too -
It also tracks weight and BMI and gives you progress charts

I love Tap and Track. It gives you daily (and longer like weekly/monthly) reports on your nutrition including protein intake averages which I find amazingly helpful. You can also track exercise. I wish there was a way to track non- caloric liquid intake or medication but other than that, great app!!

Anyone Weigh Around 400Lbs
Beachbum replied to normz956's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I weighed 420 lbs in Oct 2012 on the day I had my son. Got down to 376 after baby, nursing, and weight watchers. My surgery was June 21 and I currently weigh 316. I can't wait to get under 300 let alone 200! -
How Much Weight Have You Lost?
Beachbum replied to cmarie317's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My highest weight was 420 lbs in October 2012, right before I had my son. I was 376 the day of surgery. I lost 19 lbs in the first week. My surgery was June 21,2012. I've been hovering at 60 lbs lost for close to two weeks. I just think my body is adjusting to losing 60 lbs in 9 weeks. As of today I weigh 316. That's 104 lbs since last October! -

Wine? Definitely try it at home first to see how it affects you. I thinki crystal light blueberry lemonade tastes like a mojito

I like Teddies all natural, no agar added

Crystal Light Mocktails!
Beachbum replied to ~Christi~'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I find the blueberry lemonade tastes a bit like a mojito especially if you add mint -
What a difference! How much have you lost?

Exercise!

I Am Addicted To My Scale
Beachbum replied to got2bethin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Raising my hand I used to weigh multiple times but now just weigh once in the morning. I wake up and get excited. It is a bummer though when I stay the same for a few days though -
I'm 7 weeks post surgery today. I'm averaging 95-110 g of protein a day. I start every day with a chocolate fudge EAS shake (11 ounces) mixed with a scoop of Syntrax nectars protein powder. I blend with an immersion blender and pour over ice. It's 40g of protein and tastes like chicolate milk. I eat lots of cottage cheese, yogurt, soft cheeses, chicken, chili, and turkey. I like ground beef or turkey mixed with no sugar added tomato sauce - like a bolognese sauce.

That's sooo great! Can't wait to join you!

Awesome!!
