Dermabond, too. Fortunately, I wasn't allergic to it. I was allergic to the tape they used to cover my central line.

Thanks, that looks awesome! You are a fountain of culinary information!

I'm 3 months out and have just started tolerating solids. I still get almost all my nutrition from yogurt and protein water. Try the protein water, it is easier than shakes, imho. Do check with your doctor. Mine wasn't worried at 6 weeks, but he did send me for additional testing at 11 weeks. But as @Pearldrop says, we're all different and some of us heal more slowly. And I agree with @shelly420, this is a great opportunity for weight loss if your protein intake improves. Hope all goes well.

Thanks for posting! Sounds great!

In the grand scheme of life, lovenox is just an annoying pimple!

It really wasn't bad. They're tiny little needles.

Glad your surgery is over. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

are you on a phone or a computer?

Thanks for starting this topic. I'm currently on omeprazole twice a day so I'm very interested in the responses!

Wow, is that a tiny little waist I see in that avatar? Awesome!

How about everyone share their latest NSV (non-scale victory) in one spot. I love reading about all the steps that make up the journey, so please share!

That's what my surgeon says.

Sounds yummy, thanks!

No, you're super fortunate! Yesterday I was at 515 calories. I've only hit 800 a couple of times. Tomorrow, I will be 3 months out.

Just wait it out if you're not hurting. Deviled eggs are pretty soft. You're not alone. Lots of us are in the habit of popping food into our mouths without thinking.

That's wonderful! Hope the rest of your recovery is smooth!

I didn't for this surgery, but I have in the past. My hubby stayed home to get the kids off to school and by the time he got to the hospital, I was already in surgery. Didn't bother me, but I'm not much of a Nervous Nelly.

It’s all about the head tilt! LOL catch me at the wrong angle and my double chin waves hello! I'd have to have someone stand on the roof to get my head at an angle that didn't show my double-chin! Honestly, from your avatar, I wouldn't guess you weighed more than 130!

HAH! That's what I thought about @Kay07!

My crowd only comes big

We have a chest freezer nearly full of frozen veggies because we still feed 6 adults most night at my house. Not sure I can count myself right now. 2 broccoli florets is a big veggie night for me.

Thanks, sounds delicious. How many pounds of chicken breast to the veggies listed? I'll need to make multiples and want to get my proportions right. Thanks!

Congrats! Other than a few bumps, it sounds like you're finally on your way! I'm so happy for you!

I have everyday! They just keep saying that "there's still waiting on finding a day to schedule" or that they don't have a date locked in UGH! Infuriating! Hope you hear soon!

I'll bet it was easier to "smash your mammies" since they've slimmed down. Pretty soon, they'll be able to hold mine up to the light and just see through them!
