I wouldn't call it pain, more like uncomfortable burning sensation...like acid reflux.

Ahhhh, the joys of living alone! lol EXCEPT when my greedy family comes over and eats everything in sight! lol

Yes, the tortilla pizza is fabulous! It never gets boring because you can use so many different toppings. I've been sharing with all of my friends. My fave is fresh mozzarella, basil and sun dried tomatoes...yum. I will definitely try cooking the shell first because I like thin crust crispy pizza.

Done, and thank you Alex!

How's it going? Is the surgery all that you thought it would be?

My surgeon's office is WONDERFUL, but the insurance coordinator's demeanor is that of a person who could give a hoot that you're on pins and needles. I know, I know, I'm not the only one waiting on an answer and I'm sure that in her position, this is what she deals with day in and day out, but I feel like I'm the only one waiting. So.....I took things into my own hands and called the insurance company myself and they told me that I'll have my answer by mid-next week, which feels like an ETERNITY!

I'm not a scale fanatic, because I know the weight is coming off, so that gives me a sense of security. I only weigh myself when I think about it, which is every 2 or 3 weeks.

I'm 18 weeks out, 48 pounds lost.

Girl, you better go to that pool party (in that bathing suit) and live your life! We've all hidden ourselves long enough!

Thanks Alex! I need this reminder frequently. Became dehydrated and almost passed out...BIG lesson learned!

I was treated for H. pylori before surgery with 3 different antibiotics. Now, 11 weeks out for almost two weeks now I've had KRAZYYYYYYYYY acid reflux symptoms (burping all the time, stomach gurgling/bubbling Loudly, food is uncomfortable as ever, burning feeling in my gut and stuck feeling in my chest/throat). Unlike that normal I had WLS 11 weeks ago feeling. I spoke to my doctor and now instead of once a day, he has me on omeprazole (Prilosec) twice a day. I started that today, so we'll see what happens. In the meantime, I'm miserable. Someone told me that papaya also helps reduce the acid.

I may have quoted the wrong person, sorry! lol

OMG I thought it was just me with the Food Network thing! lol It really does sooth me and ironically, doesn't make me want to eat. My dirty little secret. I'm 11 weeks out and the heartburn has been KILLING me for 2 weeks now.

I've never had acne, but since the surgery I get it on my shoulders.

FORGETABOUTIT! Just don't focus on the weight loss and it will start coming off again. Happened to me too.

I made it to wonderland today! What a nice early birthday present:)

I meant ONEderland, but it is wonderland too! lol
