USAFmom2 5 Posted November 20, 2012 Good luck Marie! Sounds like you're already doing great. I'm in Georgia too and my surgery date was Oct. 23. I've lost 25 pounds since my surgery. Feeling pretty good too. Doctor told me today that I could go back to my gym, so I'm looking forward to that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwiladydee 402 Posted November 21, 2012 Hello! In in Loganville, Ga. Yes I know Dr Titus Duncan. I was going to go with him a few years back - he is super experienced. I ended up using dr Johnson from Atlanta baractiric about 5 years after that. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ellie_Grace 271 Posted November 22, 2012 At first I was ok with drinking but now every time I take a sip of Water or anything it makes my stomach hurt I had the same problem and in the middle of 100 degrees heat UGH!! I found ice cold Water was the clue. I froze water bottles 2/3 way and then filled them up which kept them cold enough for my stomach. Slushie a with sugar free Syrup also worked great. Hope this works for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
