I think I read on here that some people say that is their signal for being full.

I don't know where that word mucky can from lol

I also track my food on mucky my fitness pal . My dr. Sent me home on mushy so at first I was getting 400-500 after a couple of weeks it increased to 700-800 now it vary depending on what I eat. I just try to stay under 800... You can find me on my fitness pal under this name if your looking for buddies

I am 6 weeks out & can still only eat 1oz

My surgeon tried to get me to do the lapband, the next day I switched surgeon's.. Now thats just me and how I react, I just don't like people that try to change my mind once i've researched and have done my homework.

I had my psy eval done in manhattan. by Robert Dobrenski he charged me 80.00 UHC paid the other half his rregular fee is 160. which is actually pretty cheap the other two on my list from my surgeon are Patty Matz $225. and Stephanie Levey 250. I don't know what kind of info we can post so send me a message if you want their address and #'s

I do but I haven't been able to upload the last 4 youtube name is losetobemeagain

my doctor only required a two day liquid diet I had a 41 BMI I think that is the diet he puts all his patients on though, he also required that I be able to tolerate soft foods in order to get discharged.

Look who's got a sexy little booty... You go gurl...

Neither my dr or insurance required me to lose weight before surgery, as a matter of fact I actually gained a few before surgery ( not saying you should gain ) I would call my insurance company and find out if they require you lose and ask your dr. if he requires it.

normal I compare it to a sink with a slow drain once those bubbles finally come up the water or food go down...

Congrats and Welcome

Stupid ?'s how much water? can you tell i'm not a cook lol

I love their French Onion Soup just eat around the bread and onions hmmm that melted cheese is good

My pcp thought it was something they put over the stomach ( like a sleeve ) she was with a resident and after I told her what I was doing she started to explain it to the resident, and I just looked at her like WOW... Didn't bother to explain it to her because I plan on finding another PCP because she gave me such a hard time about getting weight loss surgery, and at my medical clearance visit she told me I was going to fail... I don't feel I need to educate people that treat me that way...

def see a difference, congrats on the weight loss

I like the one with the amounts of protein

where are your staples? I didn't know they used staples for this surgery...

good luck sending well wishes

I recovered in my bed, I love my bed.. I just used extra pillows, no problems getting in or out..

I had a umbilical hernia repaired during my VSG surgery as far as I'm concerned I got a twofer and don't have to go back in for another surgery. My doctor also over sews the staple line to help prevent leaking. The one reward I have so far is I haven't needed my diabetes meds since the surgery, and as a bonus I lost 11 lbs my first week.

gatorade or propel, for the headache call your dr. and see if he will allow you to take tylenol mine did

thats the only one I know of, would be interested in others also.

I really do hope no one does read you the riot act because all opinions and feelings should be considered and validated. I remember when I was thin and I remember being able to speak up and stand up for myself all the time because I wasn't afraid about people noticing the fat girl in the room, I think my confidence was my armor then.. It seems to me that my weight has prevented me from doing so much in my life I'm sure you will build up that confidence again and feel great about yourself and start enjoying your new life.
