That's one of the joys of this surgery - discovering your style. I found that I love bright colors, and summer dresses. I use a purse most of the time now. I have always been a Tom boy, and have developed a dress addiction.

My husband and I are foster parents for a local shih Tzu rescue group. My foster dog Cagney has this sixth sense of knowing when my pouch is full. He has this talent of jumping right on my pouch when I have just finished eaten. Oh it hurts. Can't get mad at the little guy he is too cute, but I am amazed at his talent.

Mary how many weeks post op are you and where do you live. I ask about your location because I am in the DFW Texas area and I am in the middle of a bad RA flare.

One week, one day Post OP

Check with your doctor. Every doc is different and you will get a lot of different responses on here. -
Lucky you. That was my cheat food after a week post op. I threw up for about 30 minutes.

If you failed your psyh exam then they saw something you need to work on before moving forward. Spend this time working on those issues that a specialist wants you to work on. If you put in the hard work during this time your journey post op will be a little easier as you will know how to cope with thing better. Good luck

I started at 8 weeks. That is when my doc allowed me to exercise. I started out by playing an indoor soccer game - boy was I tired. I took off from there.

My doc never gave me a range. He has only said eat clean and lean. Always remember protein is 4 calories per gram. So depending on how much protein you are supposed to get will depend on your calories. I shoot for 100 grams of protein - so I start my day out at 400 calories.

I am 14 months post op and have bad gas still. I have however found out how much my husband loves me. Any man that still loves a woman after some of these smells is a keeper. With that being said get online and buy devrom. It is an internal deodorant that works wonders. I don't know how it works but trust me it works. When I told my hubby I was almost out of them in casual conversation he got online and quickly ordered me two bottles.

My husband has told me many times he wished my butt had stuck around a little bit more. it is really boney when I sit down!

I would say don't get so wrapped up in numbers on a scale. Is it moving down, up or staying the same. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in a silly little number and forget to celebrate our new lives. Our tiny accomplishments are bot celebrated each day because a number did not go down or it stayed the same. Finding a new way to measure success is key in my opinion.

It can take up to 6 weeks I believe for them to come off.

Hard knot on left side where incision is?
music1618 replied to cherieblake's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yep - but always call your doc for questions. More than likely that is the incision they used to put the instruments in. -

Oh how the mighty have fallen

I wish I had a sign that told me I'm full. I seem to always eat one bite to many and then feel so stuffed. -
I was just going by the amount that MFP had given me as a goal. I was over by 2000.

C-diff is a bacteria that grows in the gut. You get it after taking lots if antibiotics. The treatment is another antibiotic.
