So curious to know how you are! I have been at goal for a year and would like to have another baby but worried sick about what might happen to my body.

You look great...congrats on all your accomplishments...got to tell you the last pic you look so tall! My doctor told me 2 years prior to surgery but when I went for my 1 year post op they hinted it would be ok. I think the 2 years is a carry over from the gastric bypass...and for those patients it is important because of malabsorption. I would give your doctor a call and be honest about the pill. I have 3 kids and I will be 35 in a few weeks but still really want 1 more kid. Not sure how I feel about getting prego and gaining weight and taking my body through some thing further.

My favorite is Gold Standard 100% Whey...My suggestion is buy from somewhere you can return...GNC has a great return policy and they take back with out question. For me...I like my protein over ice and that helps. Just some suggestions...keep trying then until you find what you like.

I too am thankful this all worked out for you. Just think what an amazing job you will be able to do at your new job once you get to goal:) Congrats on all the new things in your life.

I have learned so much and been reminded of so much by reading this thread! Thank you skinny for being honest with us! Praying for success for you.

Oh How I remember the night before my surgery. They day before Dec 6th I had to get everything ready for my sister in law to take care of our three kids and then my hubby and I had to drive 3 hours to the hospital. We stayed the night in a hotel. The hotel (which we had no idea about) was nestled between train tracks a harbor and an airport. As you can imagine I got no sleep...neither did hubby. I prayed a lot. The next morning I was SO calm. I had been frightened of pain, being put asleep, the finality of the surgery...etc. But that day was so different. God was with me and He is with you. I will pray for you Delta...I am asking God to give you peace today and tomorrow, I am asking God to bring you through surgery with out any complications. I am praying that you will have the best care from the doctor you have to the nursing staff that will enter your room. I am asking God to give you amazing results and when you are at goal I am praying you will see the glory of our King and give Him all the glory!

I think everyone has given you straight up honest advice...the only thing I might add is seeing someone you can talk to. You have been through a lot and it isnt physical needs that have sent you to McD's. Just a thought.

Ask any and every single question you can think of...between all of us here we will have an answer. Keep asking and reading until you feel comfotable with your decision.

I think it is great that you can listen to your body like that...I think you should keep questioning and staying in tune...but maybe (prayerfully) it is just your body saying what did you do with the other 7/8 of my stomach??? Keep us posted!

Welcome to this side...it is great to hear from you so soon! Keep sipping and walking!

How far out are you? What do you mean you lost it? Have you lost weight? What does your diet look like? It might help us help you.

You definatly look great! And I noticed the hubby looks like he has also lost weight...Keep it up you'll be at goal in no time!

I was directed to give up all caffine and never turn back. I used to drink coffee and ice tea regularly. I still drink coffee and icetea just switched to decaf. I have accidently had caffiniated coffee and it burned my sleeve. I try to avoid if at all possible.

Got me too!

Yep! My nut told me 2 Flinstones complete (purple bottle) a day. I can get them at sams for a great price. You can get them at Walmart, Target, Grocery store...just about every where. I also take 1 B100, a day 3 calcuim chews, and a B12 once a week. Levels have been perfect each time. By the way, to be completely honest, My flinstone is the worst part about my sleeve and I can live with that!!! What ever you settle with I am sure you will find one that your tum likes and then you will be fine. Good Luck to you.

I had that same question ...bougie /bou·gie/ (boo-zhe´) a slender, flexible, hollow or solid, cylindrical instrument for introduction into the urethra or other tubular organ, usually for calibrating... from a medicaldictionary online

he he that is funny!

Just want to say that it is nice to have all you experienced slevers here!

We were stationed in CS. I delivered a baby at FT. Carson and had a couple of over night stays for other health issues. Great Care. I didnt know they were doing WLS. That is awesome! Good Luck to you!

Yes. I HAD PCOS prior to surgery. I have NO symptoms now!

It is hard to know what you feel like on Monday. And everyone's experience with post-op pain is so different. I stopped taking pain meds on day 4 and just used liquid tylenol when I felt I need it. How flexible is your job? Do they have to hire someone to do you job while your out? So if you feel up to it you can go in and they wont be sending home a temp?
