Hi everyone just wanted to see how everyone is progressing. Soiwill start it. Sd 2/19/12, Hw198. Cw150. 13wks post op. Issues: hate Protein shakes, so struggling to get it all in. :-( hair loss of course has started, so forcing the protein in!!!!

I don't soda's at all. I only drink water. I don't want soda because all I hear is my doc saying " if you want to get fat, drink soda". If we go out to eat. I don't order for myself I will only have 2-3 bites of his food. But on the way or while getting dressed I eat a protein bar. I don't have any problems. SD2/19/13. HW 198. CW 150 5'2. 13 wks post op

Hi yes move food around. You can try some of the food just chew it a lot. But don't over think it go have a great time. Dance and enjoy the new you!!!

I love doing this!!! Must watch on Netflix. Fat, sick & nearly dead!!! It will make juicing sense.

Ladies stop caring about what other are saying! Don't give them the time of day! The best you can is be fabulous in your weight loss !

Nicole, stop listening to others! This is about you, your health, your body. They will never understand unless they walk in your shoes. I had my surgery 2/19/13 I weighed 194, today I weigh 161.5. I'm 5'2. Some people dont understand how I got it done, couldn't I be more discipline or exercise more. I'm like no I had no will power or I would have done it! Stay strong!

Girl get together!! You didn't go through all this to gt back where you were!!! Snap out of it!!! Ok so you have a plan. Start with the detox and get back on the program, ASAP. Get pictures of your old self put them around so you don't forget how far you have come and that you don't want to back there. Good luck. Also most important STOP smoking no one wants to kiss a butt. LOL

Hi, i think it depends on how you do. I had my surgery 2/19-tues came home from hosp on thurs. I didn't have anybody take care of me. I didn't need it. I walked every 2-4 hours at the hosp, kept it up at home so I was active the entire time. Saturday I made breakfast, Sunday a ham dinner, driving Monday, back to work by Friday. Went to my 2wk post op doc said I was doing great, healing great, to continue walking ( I walk 30min a day 3x a day). Good luck girl!!

Hi All, San Antonio. Start 194. Cw: 170. Sd: 2/19/2913

I took off 8 days felt good. No problems

My sister had GB 8 years ago. At year 4 & 2nd marriage she got pregnant. She carried her baby to 37 1/2 wks then she thought she was in labor wrong. What happen to her was very rare and because of her case studies have been done on hoe GB pregnant women are treated. Her small intestine had been twisting all along so when she went in to "labor" it was that the intestine has busted. Her baby was born perfect but during the csection the doc knew something was wrong so he called in 2 gen surgeons that told us what happened, this was a Wednesday so had to be kept asleep till Saturday. The exploratory surgery was done, all useless organs were removed, she now has only 12inches of small intestine, her GB had to be undone. It took her 7mo to recover enough to care for her baby (mom & help along with in laws). Her pre gb wght: 350, her weight now is 145 because of the loose skin if she didn't have it she would be about 115. She works out 4x a week. Works FT. So if anyone gts PG make sure ultrasounds are taken of your intestines!!
