Nice! Someone did a study (of course, LOL) and discovered that people notice when you lose 1.3 from BMI. Go figure!

Yum!

I'm so sorry you are having this experience, Fingers crossed you feel better soon, and can start taking in some protein. Regarding your reaction to protein shakes, which varieties have you tried? And have you considered the clear protein shakes or Unjury unflavored protein added to broth, etc? I personally have issues with Premium Protein, but sfh Pure is fine for me. PS - I have the same surgeon! If you wouldnt mind sharing, why were you in the hospital for 4 days?

There's a great Apple ap out there called Progress Body Tracker, just an FYI

Nice!

I wanna buy this dress -- not any dress -- THIS dress: And then I will go to swanky places to wear this dress!

My pe-op is averaging between 900-1200 cals/day, and I'm actually feeling a bit more energetic. Hungry, but energetic. Fingers crossed for you NOT getting sick before surgery. Guy next to me was dxd with strep yesterday and came in to the office. Sigh.

You poor thing! I had significant issues after a hysterectomy a couple of years ago, so it can't just be gunk from the stomach causing the problems -- it must be the anesthesia and pain killers. Senokot it is, then, for me...

OMG, I had similar experience after hysterectomy, it was so miserable!!! I went to Ducolax (sp) -- that stuff is great!

Post surgery constipation. Has this been a problem for you guys? At my pre-anesthesia appt, nurse suggested I start taking Senokot now, a week before surgery. I also know of one local bariatric practice that does the same thing. Anyone doing something similar?

I havent been brave enough to try! I thought it was 1 T of cider vinegar, 1 T lemon, 1 cup water?

Whole Foods, but Amazon has it, too

All of us, LOL March 14th for me

Great explanation of what happened to you, thanks for taking the time to post it all. Glad you are feeling better!!

Congrats! We want details!!!

Broth, tea, SF jello, SF popsicles. My pre-op isnt as limited as the protein shake crowd, but dang if I haven't been hungry all day -- and I'm a week in!

I'm sorry to hear of your complications, and Im impressed with your attitude!!

I’m hungry. Just thought I’d throw that out there, LOL. 7 more days, ugh.

I read,read, read, too, and I love success stories like yours! 55 pounds -- is that include pre-surgery WL?? Either way, its remarkable for 6 weeks --way to go!

Congratulations!

Good luck today

That is fantastic! Keep on keeping on, Superstar!!!!

I love that video -- very cool!! And less scary when you see what they are actually doing, the stapling device, etc.

I've never even heard of it! Good luck tomorrow, safe surgery! OMG, I just looked it up -- sounds interesting, but maybe I'll wait until after surgery, LOL
