LESLIEH

Yayyy, congrats your looking pretty darn good if you ask me.

I love spanx too, I worn them under my wedding dress. My wedding dress wasn't a normal wedding dress seeing we got married on our favorite holiday Halloween . But I must go get a smaller size now hee hee

Congrats on your new sleeve

I must agree, I get in a stall or gain a couple lbs and thanks to Diva's advice I pull out my "fat" jeans and then my current size jeans and haa haa, I'm all smiles again. I have always been a slow loser and thats if I lost anything at all in the past. Luckily were not the ones who are gaining during the holidays like the other . Theres so many benefits of loosing the weight slowly and they were listed above and I'll take it

My hubby burned the P90x for me but I've been so scared to try it out. So keep us posted on how your doing with it and I might just have to jump on the bandwagon

Thats great news, same thing happened to me but I'm not in a medium just yet

I would seriously get a second opinion. I had GERD bad and I mean bad. I would throw up in my sleep and I was on 2 different kinds of stomach medicine for it. Now I'm 8 weeks out from the surgery and I'm fine as long as I take my PPI.

Yes it will get better, the first couple of weeks are the hardest. The first 2 weeks I would say I actually wanted to die and I cried everyday but now I'm 8 weeks out and I soooo love my sleeve and would do it all over again

See even though I want to drink I am a lil bit scared so one glass will probably do me. When I say I was a big drinker I was. My mom and I would have the big bottle of tequila every other day, yup us woman in the family can drink, even my hubby who can pound beers couldn't believe it. But thanks for the replies I will have one glass of something light, prolly wine and leave it at that, well unless my mother in law insists on me taking a shot of chocolate cake and you don't say no to ur mother in law, lol

I always have Rum with some sort of juice and peach schnapps and oh god its a crowd pleaser at our parties, hee hee. Yes Tiff, I was thinking of like a white wine or something like Arbor Mist would be safe. My Dr is beyond strict he says no drinking for life, haa haa ya right. I know people with the bypass and drink so umm ya. Thanks ladies

I know were not suppose to be drinking ya ya ya. I used to drink a lot so these past 7 weeks have been so hard with family get together's and the holidays without having a drink, well I did cheat a bit. I had a half of a shot of chocolate cake, yummy. Now for New Years Eve I'm having a drink it's a must do type thing. But what is kinda safe and not to harsh? I will not be having my typical tequilla or rum only because I really don't want something that harsh in my tummy, I know so then why drink right? Well I'm toasting in the New Year because I'm so over this year so any advice on whats kinda gentle on the tummy would greatly be appreciated

Wow check you out, a big congrats to u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow check u out, your doing so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so proud of you

Ohhh speaking from experience this week. Man let me tell you, my babies (4 and 5 yrs old) had the stomach flu and I got it the worst. I got it on Tursday night and by Friday I was puking (I cant stand that one bit) and running to the bathroom inbetween times, I almost moved my bedroom into the bathroom. I finally ate something yesterday but a very small amount. Today is getting a lil better just still running to the bathroom. I took Tiff's advice and have stocked up on the probiotic/prebiotic yogurt and we'll see how it goes. Hopefully you don't get it and everyone in your house has a speedy recovery

Talked to the surgeons nurse and it is the laxatives, I must increase my water intake, haa haa easier said then done. But if this doesn't go away by tomorrow I must be seen. Damn Dr must luv making his patients suffer, lol

I was perfectly fine before. But when I went for my 1 month check up the dr asked about my bathroom issues and their watery which I thought was normal because I'm not taking in full solids yet. He told me he thought I was impacted and to take the laxative and now its still the same just a lot more frequent. Yes it feels like I'm bloated so I tried to lay on my side without my hubby in bed so I wouldn't blow him away and that didn't accomplish anything. Now the bloating feeling is starting to go away seeing I stopped the laxatives yesterday. But the cramping hasn't stopped and actually I don't even want to eat. Also my sides hurt like I worked out but maybe thats just from going so dang much and my stomach muscles contract and I feel like I'm walking hunch back. I don't think I have a leak at all theres no fevers and I'm holding liquids and foods down. I'm just hoping its a stomach bug thats going around and the laxatives the idiot told me to take

Ok here goes. i saw my Dr at my 1 month check up and they asked how my bathroom habits are (had to put it nicely) and I told him well I'm for sure not constipated it's the complete opposite. The damn Dr tells me well I think your impacted, huh? So he tells me to take a laxative and so I did for the past week. the past 2 days my stomach has been feeling like I'm bloated and I go to the dang bathroom 4 times before 8am, thats fricken crazy to me. Now the bloating, the bathroom runs and some cramping is really starting to scare me. Did I hurt my sleeve by listening to him?? Or maybe I now have a stomach bug seeing its going around. My son was extremely sick and I swear he vomited everywhere and I mean everywhere, his room is now stained (sorry for the visual). Maybe I kinda have his bug but not as bad??? Any advice would help, I really don't want to bother my Dr if its something very minor

Ohhhh I think we've all had depression for the first 2 weeks. I cried day and night then the hubby got online and found this site and said, "babe you seriously need to talk to someone." I take it that was a hint of your getting on my nerves, lol. The hardest part was Thanksgiving, everyone was eating n all I could have was 2 oz of mashed potatoes. I'm a month out and it does get better a lot better

Thats great news, maybe that was the patients way of saying u needed new scrubs too ......CONGRATS!!!!!!

At my 1 week check up my "new" food list was mashed potatos (kinda watery or really creamy), scrambled egg and stuff like that. My Dr I think is one of the strict ones and thats what he allowed me to eat but I did Dr it up with some gravy, omg yummy.
