Yes, I hear you about the breast. I feel the same. Just remember while working out you are also building muscle. Muscle weights more than fat. So what I'm saying is it may read different on the scale, however you may see it more in your measurements at first or how your clothes fit :-) . But working out is great to rev up those Muscles to burn more for you :-) creating more burning of the fat cells.

I use my Spanx and did right after I got home. Loved it and it helped so much w the pain by holding tummy in and supporting it :-) I agree w the uncomfortable binder :-(

Congrats :-) you're doing great!!!

I have had the wonton Soup and it was good. I couldn't eat much of it. The noodle part was good' date=' gave me some energy (carbs), but of course wasn't very nutritional, so I made sure my other two meals were. It was nice to sit with others and eat something "normal".[/quote']

When you had the wonton soup, where you on the pureed food stage? If so, how did you eat the wonton?

Full liquids? I thought all I could have was the Protein Shakes Water and broth!! You mean there are other things I could be trying too? Hell no wonder I am weak

[kisersassy 369]

Full liquids start the day you get out if hospital till like 10 days post op. Each surgeons requirements are different. At 10 days post op I was then placed on purees/ soft foods till 6 week post op then placed on regular food

[kisersassy 369]

Full liquids include cream Soups strained cottage cheese and yogurt and plus everything in Clear Liquids
