Well, are you still retaining fluids? Getting your Protein in? Moving your bowels. And some people for some reason do not move in the scale, but are loosing inches like crazy. So make sure you are measuring yourself also. And if you need to shock your system throw some Peanut Butter into your protein. It high In fat, but a good protein. Serena. Xoxo.

Added you!!

I did lol! I wanted to eat everything for the last time. ( over and over again) lmao!! Once I got on the liver shrink I pulled myself together and lost 10 lbs but had McDonald's the night before my surgery. I love, love, love food. But all the bad stuff. I now learning how to eat healthy because if I don't my pouch will let me know about it. Haha.

My doctor prescribed me ambien. I slept all night last night it was heavenly. Oh thank heavens. I am a drug and alcohol counselor, in an inpatient facility and am a single mother of 2. I need sleep to function or I would go clinically insane. Lol.

My doctor was suppose to send it in yesterday to the pharmacy. Apparently he forgot too! Gonna call him today and cuss his butt out lol.

Cracking up reading this thread hahahha. Well i guess when I find a partner ( recently separated) that all the possible questions I could come up with regarding sex and bypass will have already been answered. Hahahha. Women rock!! Lol. And love the guys input also!!!

Oh thank you thought I was loosing my mind. I have not slept all night, but do not feel tired. And I know about the reversal on the pain meds. My mother had shoulder surgery and instead of her laying down sleeping when I went to her house, the freaking house was spotless. Haha. Been doing some research ( since I have been up all night) and this appears to be common. Better not remain a pattern. Lol.

Ok sista. Start one up!! For us marchies of 2013!!! Whoop whoop!!

We all need a fb group. Not sure how to creat it. Anyone have any ideas???

No issues here. Drink the 30 cal vanilla almond milk in my shakes. But have also just had 1% milk as a beverage.

Welcome to dumping. Take some tums and gas x. And just ride it out. It feels like contractions. Dumped after 5 days post op. snuck some stuffing for Easter then had a glass of milk. Umm huge mistake!! It lasted 2 hours. Just keep moving or swaying. It's awful but it will pass.

Great job ladies and gentleman!! Keep sharing and keep up the good work!!! Sheller1979. Aka Serena.

Some people's doctors recommend them and some don't. I just use a tight fitting cami and wear that under my shirts. Seems to help.

Wow what a time you had, hope all is working out better for you now. Had surgery the day after you and I'm getting stronger and stronger every day!! Wish you the best. If you have a my fitness pal friend me. Sheller1979. Serena.

pureed Soups, sweet potatoes, tuna, chicken in a can, cottage cheese, yogurt, veggies, crock pot meals, ham, turkey, refried Beans, fruit, low sugar oatmeal, etc. if you have a my fitness pal. Add me. You can see what others are eating. Love pudding with no sugar whipped cream. Yummy Hope that helps.

Thanks everyone! Let me know if I miss anyone being friended. Looks like we are all not meeting our calories for the day. Lol.

Yes it was awful. But thought me a huge lesson to stop pushing my new pouch. Lol. Yes 2 excruciating hours! Ugh. Lol. Back to EVERYTHING pureed tomorrow. And no bread. Also had a half glass of milk so that might have done it also. Who knows. Lol

On fb.

It was on march 26th loss of 13 pounds. Oh so exciting. It will go so fast and I was approved in 2 days. Ok add me, we can go through this all tighter. Dumped today after eating stuffing. Oh my was that an experience. Pain! But that's all the stuff you will need to know about. Serena.

Oh please listen to my experience, I thought oh Serena you have been doing so well an it's Easter just mush up some stuffing ( because I loved stuffing) notice the loved. So I had a palm full of stuffing. Umm I dumped for 2 hours and let me just tell you it felt like two hours of child labor. Be appreciative of the soups and yogurts I know I now have a new appreciation for them. Dumping is no joke!! Ugh makes my heartbeat fast just writing about it. Serena.
