riverbuff: Awesome! Good luck!

Your weight loss is awesome!!! I will be 1 month next week and I cant wait to feel and look great!!! congrats!

when is your surgery?? hope times flies!!!

how far are u post op? or have u had surgery yet? i was told to try to avoid lots of fiberous foods (mainly greens cuz of the effect on my tummy and bowels!)

I sitll havent been able to completely poop!!! everyonce in a while its more like "swimmers" lol..... i just posted something about that.... what helps with constipation. What have u been doing considering you are able to poop!

Dont listen to the stories. Eveyone is different. I went to my seminar in MArch and almost one month ago I had surgery! All the appts were very informational and I felt the same way at first. I was scared about leaving my comfort food. I havent felt better... think positive and good luck:)

Are you thinking about having surgery? Im sorry you feel that way, My hubby actually opposed me having surgery at first. HOwever I needed to feel healthy and look healthy. I asked him all the time do i look ok, do i look to fat.... i know where she is coming from. THe reason why i ask if you are having any surgery or if you are overweight is because Im sure after she sees how motivated you are in committing to a new lifestyle she might consider changing something as well. Hope things work out.

Next friday!!! awesome! I will be exactly 1 month post op on that date! Best decision ever! hang in there!

that is great! congrats!!!! hopefully the time goes by quickly and even better hopefully u get approved for an earlier date!

25 LBS IS AWESOME!!! CONGRATS! CROSSING MY FINGERS U GET APPROVED:)

Hello! After having 2 1/2 weeks off work for surgery and recovery, I returned to work today:) I felt so good when everyone kept telling me I looked great! They complemented me on my appearance. " you look wonderful, your face looks thinner, your upper body frame also looks slimmer" I swear I loved the attention and comments! I am however a little tired mainly due to the early rise this morning. Had a quick question: I am eating mostly Protein, pureed/soft meats, cheese(cottage or string cheese) sometimes soft fruit like peaches, etc... has anyone experienced constipation? IM not sure I am getting the proper protein levels in either. I got the ok to begin taking my Vitamins again. I am currently taking a Multivitamin Flinstones chewable... They recommended Vitamin b-12 for nerves, metabolism, energy.... What about hair? I have REALLY thin hair to begin with.... I dont want it to fall out due to insufficiency.Any suggestions?? GNC Hair,skin and Nail supplements>>??? I have my 1 month follow up appts with dietician and bariatrician nurse next week:) cANT BELIEVE IT WILL WE A MONTH ALREADY!

I wish u the best:) This thursday I will be 3 weeks post op! surgery and anesthesia were fine its more the gas pain that is uncomfortable. Walk as soon as you are able to tolerate it even if its a few steps or even feet. BEing on the operating table for so long may cause you to have horrible lower back pain. Dont be afraid to ask for pain meds! warm heated blankets on my back helped out A LOT!

Lotstolose... Its completely normal. I had that the first night i got home. Dark and thick gross! It was like that for about a week. I too could not trust a fart! Let me tell ya when that happened luckily I was at home! LOL hope it goes Well for you I Am just about 2 weeks out. Keep a mental note of when you have bowels. It helps. Also I slept sitting up in my bed for about a whole week. I hated it that's where my heating pad came in place over my belly or on my back. I tend to sleep on my right side or better yet always have slept on my tummy its hard still but I use a pillow:)

I Am just over 2 weeks post op and at times still feel like I Am not motivated or have enough energy to exercise. I know that surgery is only a tool and that I also need to do my Part... I do walk everyday tho:)
