  1. Good luck. Dr.kelly was my surgeon. I felt very safe. Congratulations on your surgery.
  2. Congratulations, happy birthday. You look beautiful and so happy.
  3. No I think she was saying the by pass was controversial. I saw the interview as well and thought she might be talking about the sleeve. I wonder why not just say. I know it's none of our business but if you bring up surgery at all maybe you should just say what kind.
  4. Don't feel guilty. Maybe the dream is just to give you a freebe. A way to eat without the guilt of actually eating it. Don't feel guilty for doing the right thing and dreaming the wrong. A dream is just a dream. Take it as a freebe and keep up the good work.
  5. Amazing. You look great. very inspirational. Check out them arms girl.
  6. I heard you can drink as much water as you want.you need to try to get ay least 64 oz in anyway.

  8. Does anyone know what the 5 day pouch test is?
  9. I am 3 weeks and 2 days post op. I have absolutely no energy. I'm so tired. I take vitamins, I eat protein. I don't know whats wrong with me. I get so jealous of the people that say they are losing and have so much more energy now. I'm losing but no energy. I get pains in my leg I have an ear infection. I'm miserable. So sorry just venting.
  10. I'm praying for you and excited for you that you have found the silver lining. Kudos to you for that. I am positive everything will be fine and can't wait to here how great you feel after.
  11. You are awesome!!! Congrats on making the first of all your goals!!
  12. I also hard no bowel movements after surgery. I actually didn't go until 2 weeks after. I took MiraLAX to help with that. I wasn't uncomfortable from not going but thought it was weird not to go for that long.
  13. I pray to god everything works out for you
  14. What is the 5 day pouch test?

  16. Can't get to your you tube on my phone. I was able to last time. Oh well off to the computer I go. I love watching your updates. Thanks.
  17. Hi ladies, so my question is a little personal, sorry. I have an IUD so pre surgery I would get my TOM regularly but just spotting. Since surgery, Feb 11, I had my period that day and it end a couple of days after surgery. Then again a week after just spotting a couple of days. Now again 2 days ago but heavier. Not really really heavy. But heavier than i'm used to with the IUD. Has this happen to anyone else or have you heard of this. Can it be a sign of anything more serious?
  18. Lol. It was supposed to be check up. Sorry, using my phone.
  19. You look wonderful and it makes me jewell great that you feel wonderful. pictures are awesome

  22. I love reading your post. You crack me up.
  23. I was so thrown off by it all I don't remember her name but it was the physician assistant at Dr. Coates office in Modesto, Ca. I'm hoping to see Dr. coates soon so I can explain to him what happened at that visit.
