I'd buy store bought turkey chili and put it in a little chopper I got at wal-mart and add a slice of cheese... I love cheese :-)~

You really should just hold out :-) I have baby fever... Even was ready to not only ignore my bariatric doctor but got nervous when my gyno doctor who is really down to earth urged me to PLEASE wait. She's been seeing a lot of patients who didn't wait and are having lots of complications. So of course I googled it. And it made me nervous.... On a positive note they say that carrying a baby after that 18-24 months can actually be healthier then when your obese :-) http://www.ehow.com/about_6167640_risks-pregnancy-after-gastric-bypass.html#page= http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pregnancy-after-gastric-bypass/AN01828

Thank y'all soooo much :-D I know in my right mind to ignore it... But it still just bugged me :-/ blah!

My surgeon said 6 months.

I wanted the gastric bypass because I too wanted the accountability of dumping, wanted the most restriction and I was 360lbs so I had to loose a lot.

I'd try the water and make sure you are eating and getting enough protein. Even a year out if I don't eat in time I start to crash.

I did nothing.... The shock of surgery and anesthesia causes a lot of the hair loss. So once the shock is done... All you can do is wait for the hair to grow back. I didn't loose too much hair but where I lost it lol was smack dab in the front of my hair line. Almost a year out its grown back :-)

LoL so true.... It's like you HAVE to have a drink. Even if its water. I've told them no thank you and they still bring me a glass of water. It's all a learning process trying new foods and all. Take it slow. You don't want to be in a restaurant and get sick o_O.... I've heard of people getting a special card from the doctor so you can order off the kids meals.... I never did that but right after surgery I would just let them know can I have a kids meal because I just has gastric bypass. They were always very understanding. LoL now farther out if I'm with my sis and her kids. My oldest nephew will get the regular meal and ill get his kids meal :-) out with friends. I'll get just a side or share with them. Or some times if I really want a specific food ill just get the full meal and it will be leftovers for a few days :-)

Being picked up 0_o that's a crazy feeling.... I was telling my friend "he makes me feel so small" lol she told me... Shyanne... You are small now. With my gutt out the way I have full flexibility :-)~ ugh...but back to being single. It's full throttle lol engine is running but going no where :-D Gotta find a good man before I give the goods away again :-)~ *biiig sigh* :-)

Defensive driving class online cus I got a speeding ticket :-)

Ew yes.... I've heard they don't have the right kind of protein in them.

Looking beautiful!!! You do have some great hair :-D keep up the great work :-)

Great job :-D keep going and you'll keep doing great :-)

Woooow... Then I guess you might have to go the mor direct route and ask her not to bring it up any more o_O

I haven't gotten that small yet :-D But I do have people who the first thing the being up is loose skin... I let them know I'd rather have loose skin that I can cover then be so big I can't even move around. So maybe next time you can politely reply with a smile on your face... Really? Well I feel great :-D guess I'll just have to look to skinny to you cus I feel a LOT better then being overweight and unhealthy. I tell people.... I was struggling to get out the car. I couldn't work more then 4 hours with out my feet being in pain.... I can do all that and keep going... They usually have no more negative things to say to me when I tell them the positive ways my life has changed cus of surgery.

I felt extremely full and sooo uncomfortable :-( my heart started racing. Just noooo fun.

Woooow a 10k!! Congrats everyone!!! Yeah I've had a few moments in the fitting room crying from joy lol can't believe I'm fitting in to smaller and smaller sizes.

Yep 8.5 to a 7.5

I logged all my meals on my loose it app. No more soda just water. And started eating low carb high protein foods like I had surgery all ready :-) and just walked every other day... Parked far away any where I went. Still do :-) I did have days I fell off the wagon but the next day is a new day. I messed up now move on an keep going. If you need to maybe start seeing a therapist. A lot of the journey is head work :-) maybe your bariatric doctor can suggest someone to talk to.

I showered the next day. And returned to work after 5 weeks. I had planed on 4 weeks. I work in retail and am on my feet all day and lifting a moving things. I ended up being out 5 weeks due to a slight complication after surgery.

That makes my pouch hurt thinking about it :-( I was actually scared to eat after surgery and I had zero apatite.... My nutritionist and doc told me I actually had to start trying foods to get my pouch use to things. Listen to your body and take it slow :-/ don't question it online... Go to the ER o_O I just can't imagine spitting up blood a few weeks out as normal :-(

Lmao!!! It still looks like I have one but when I sit I can feel the bone :-/ messed my back up the other day sitting on a uncomfortable chair doing defensive driving online o_O

Great job :-D

http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html?m=1 I really didn't eat a lot myself during that stage. I had zero appetite or desire to eat. I bought a little food chopper thing and would put some chili in there to purée it and melt a lil cheese.... LoL ate a lot of cheese. Get use to chew chew chewing EVERY thing :-D almost a year out and I didn't follow that basic rule and I paid the cost yesterday :-/ owww lol
