Four months and I haven't been stuck yet. Well I kinda got stuck on Water once. I drank too fast and it lingered and it hurted but it passed in another gulp down my throat. I don't wanna experience it. Just wanted to say, I went through the photos and man, you look great btrieger.

Congrats and good luck! It's a great decision.

Depo is a no no. I was on it for five years and I gained a ton of weight. At first, I blamed my gain on my eating habits, but then I started taking phentermine pills and strict diet and excercise. I would typically lose twenty pounds in one month but would gain 13 pounds the next. I stayed on it as long as I did because I felt like it was still my best alternative because I could not afford to have a baby and I wasn't disciplined enough for pills. IUD's, I was afraid of. There of more options with less side effects today than there were 15 years ago. Sixty pound gain in two years sounds reasonable to me because I was near there myself and I was young and active and not overweight when I got on the shot.

I take Loestrin 24. I've been taking it since March 2009 and had my surgery in February 2010. No weight gain before or after surgery.

I received my card about 2 weeks after surgery. I used it for the first time this weekend. I usually order an appetizer or lunch portion but I went to a Habachi grill. I don't eat rice and there was no way I was gonna pay 20 bucks for a few ounces of chicken and vegetables. I went to the hostess stand and asked for a manager, showed the card (she didn't know what it was) and she complied with my request. She told the habachi chef in secret so noone at my table knew about the "special order" besides me. I don't even consider buffets.

I get that pain when I excercise, specifically speed walking around the track. It is worse when I've eaten too soon prior to excercising. I just take it that I am a bit out of shape or moving too much and too soon after being too full.

About a month after surgery, I went there and ordered chicken and gnocci soup. I was afraid to eat the dumplings inside of it but I ate the meat pieces and creamy soup part. OG was my favorite restaurant but after that one trip, I realized that it is not the place for me anymore. Too much temptation.

:thumbup: Yes, I go to True Results. They charge 120.00 w/out insurance and that includes the adjustment if one is necessary. 713-799-9990 is the number.

I am glad to hear this. I have gotten one fill and will get another in one week. I have little restriction and can definately eat more than a 1/2 cup of food. Congrats!
