If you have bad allergies make sure to take your flonaise. You can 'fill up' on nasal drip and it will make you sick.

I had my surgery in Mexico as well. I had a reduced rate from the average because I went at a discounted time.

Hey, Aussiegirl! It's good to hear from you. I'm glad your doing so well. I am doing well too. I have found that mornings are tighter on my sleeve than evening. I had my first stall one week after surgery and have been having a 2 ounce a day loss sence, but I have gone down 2 sizes ( my cousin told me to buy some new cloths, that I looked like I was wearing diapers). I still have water problems in the morning, but I am able to drink enough at night. Life is now getting to some normalicy. I even traveled a bit.

I still love drinking original v8 juice.

I had a low bmi like you. I was tired of starving myself and being in a constant state of hunger and exercise. Like you may family genes become obese and I was not willing to stretch my skin in farther. I found that I would have to go to Mexico and self pay. I had chosen my Dr. for many reasons. One of them being he was not going to make me gain even more weight to qualify.

I hope you're doing better every moment. When I first started liquids I could only get an otter pop in an hour. I had worried about that, but it was normal because of swelling after surgery. Every day should get better as far as liquid intake. I hope you feel better soon. Best wishes

I'm proud of you for getting to your goal! Don't worry about what others say. Words are like dust in the wind. Don't collect the dust, let it blow away. Live and be happy in you. Best Wishes

I love happy truths! Thanks for sharing.

I was vomitting alot as well, The first night they would be ' Jonny on the spot' to keep me from being sick. The next day was better, and the third day I vomitted only once. It gets better the farther out from the surgery and I agree with Wishes. She is very lucky to have a loving mom who is there with her.

Good for you!!!! If you have a sit down job 6 days might be fine. You may get a little tired when you get back to work, however you won't need your full lunch break, so you can take a cat nap.

I have chron's/colitis I had a endoscopy before surgery to make sure all was well and had some polyps removed. I had a small flare up after surgery, however you are empty due to the clear liquid diet so it was over pretty fast. I am finding less discomfort with my chron's because there is less food in the intestines and I'm starting to enjoy having less food. If there is any questions please feel free to ask.

I am done with soup only! I have had Laughing Cow cheese, and some puree chicken, and egg. The chicken was like a brick, so I drank liquid almost immediately. I did well with the cheese and egg. I haven't tried yogurt yet. I have been watching The Cake Boss on TV. I've gone through the first 2 seasons and I watched The Test Kitchen this weekend ( they made moist thin pork chops) I'm doing alot better, however, I'm still having problems with Water. That is getting better, so I think that will go away. How did your family/ friends take you not eating at the football functions? Your chicken patty combo sounds good to me. Best Wishes

I didn't go alone, but I would have been fine. If someone does go with you they should bring a good book.

Thank you for asking, I'm doing well. It's nice to lose weight and I feel I have more energy every day. Plus you get the support of the good people here.

Hi, I had my surgery the 22 and I had a hard time at first. I am doing really well now. I can drink protein drinks, but do not enjoy the flavor like I did before the surgery. I have lost 11 lbs. sense the surgery and 11 lbs before. I have never lost so fast without having the flu lol.

Welcome! I just had my surgery there the 22nd, they take good care of you!

lol, 5 days after my sleeve I had my first food dream. I was eating a au jus turkey sandwich on French bread. I awoke in amazement

I told my children it's their turn to help mom. They are all proud to help me and I praise their efforts. It's a good time to train them on how families stick together. Best Wishes

Welcome!
