Hi everyone my surgery was on Dec 10th in st Lukes hospital in Allentown pa with Dr El Chaar

Hi!!

[shaunda 122]

Thanks' date=' yes its hard. Its all in the mind and how we look at things. I feel thinner when i rub my hands over my body. Everything looks smaller but my gut but then sometimes i can tell its deflating. My shoe size is back to normal used to be 11 now a 10. My underwear is loser around my legs kinda feel like bloomers. Lol[/quote']

I know what you mean. My hubby keep saying your getting so small but I don't see that. I can tell I lost weight but not like he says.

My husband as of yesterday said he couldn't tell but when we went to his parents house for super bowl party and they bragged on me and said they could tell before i even took my jacket off then he said good job honey, hmmmp guess its because he just doesnt want to see it. Too bad huh

Going back to basics. Been stalled since I started soft foods. 4 wks now:(. Heading back to shakes for a week to break the stall.

I get 6-8 hundred cals a day, 60-70 Protein, and 50-65 oz of fluids. I exercise 5-6 times a week, but stuck in a stall.

Nut says to just quit thinking about it, but I'm hitting shakes 4AW anyway. She weighs like 7 lb's and doesn't understand that I want this scale to move baby!

I put on my profile an updated picture for after surgery, I am 5 weeks out, I cant tell by looking at it that I have lost weight. When I look at the mirror I dont see anything but the fat girl. Do you all get that too. My inlaws said they could tell right away I had lost some weight. Maybe I need to see my therapist again.

Looking really good, you definitely not only lost weight but look so much healthier! Congrats!

Yesterday laryngitis and severe sore throat, awoke this morning not feeling any better so stayed home. Good thing because I got hit with a severe case of dumping that lasted for a couple hours. Over with now, but boy I was miserable. Now if only the sore throat and laryngitis would go away..... Not sure what to take so sticking with warm teas (would love to add honey) and alternate with cold items to help the fire in my throat.

Oh my goodness I thought I was the only one that was having UTI problems. I've never experienced anything like this in my entire life. It is such an uncomfortable feeling. While at Walmart tonight I picked up some cranberry Vitamins to add to my daily Vitamin list I figured it probably can't hurt. It wasn't next to the Azo ones it was in the vitamin section. I guess I should probably call my doctor doublecheck but what is everyone else been doing to fight the urges of having to Pee all the time. Anyone know why we're having these UTI issues after surgery I never happened before my life.

I have had pressure, urgency and pain on and off since surgery. For me, I don't get enough fluids in each day but if I drink more the symptoms subside. So when I get those sensations I pay more attention to my Fluid intake. Definitely a miserable feeling..... hope you feel better soon.

Lol. I know what you mean. Its funny how every Nut and every personal trainer weighs less than my purse

And act as if they understand the struggle. Some of them do but some don't have a clue. And I hate when small people think all over weight people just eat eat eat.
