Thanks everyone. I spent a good amount of time looking at the labels of every single bbq sauce and found one low in carbs. I also bought some honey mustard as well. Thank you again

Can extensions really hide the thinning hair on top?? From my pcos Im getting really thin. I thought extensions only made hair longer and thicker in the body not helped on top. I'm all for it if I can hide it.

I have the same issue. I know what you are going through. I just bought a top piece from wigs.com It looks really cute. However it clips in to the little hair I have up there. I am thinking of ordering something more like an actual wig. Where did you get the concealer from? My hair is so thin I think it would be very noticeable.

I have these naked/grilled chicken nuggets but they aren't reallythat tasty by themselves. Was curious if anyone had any ideas on what I can replace BBQ sauce to dip them in?

I just bought a top piece from wigs.com. It has 3 clips and so far everyone loves it and can't tell. I had thinning hair for years prior to surgery and was sooo thin up top. I feel so much better about myself and can actually wear my hair down.

Nothing until 1 year out

Well I think it depends...I am just over 2 weeks out and my surgeon has me on a 600 calorie limit until I get close to goal (I consider my surgeon fairly strict). It took me a while to reach 600 calories tho. Some people I see are further out and eating between 1000-1200 calories daily. Not allowed for me.... I would just concentrate on staying hydrated and maybe clarify calorie limits with post op visit.

It is driving me crazy...I had hubby hide the scale this morning before he left for work. After I saw the gain I was about to toss it in the garbage. I know its just a stall but with me being a higher bmi I figured I would lose a little bit faster than I know. 13lbs lost is gone forever!!

myfitnesspal!! You can add friends and see their progress as well. They have a huge database of foods...

So I am just over 2 weeks out with surgery on 12/7. I am on mushies finally and I have stalled.... I did take measurements before surgery and I know I am losing inches but the scale is not moving. I did not have a preop diet and my BMI at time of surgery was 49. When I got home I lost all my Water weight pretty fast and was back at surgery weight within two days and then I would weigh myself several times a day and always see it dropping so fast. It was exciting!! I know I should not weigh several times a day it was just so fasinating to see it drop after all these years. I have been stuck for roughly a week and then now I have gained 2 more lbs. WTH?? I had a great recovery with being able to drink and eat with no issues. I do feel restriction with mushies. I have a 32f bougie. I am tracking my intake. Anyone else have a stall this soon after surgery?

Mine was much less than expected. I had my gallbladder out in 09 and I was cussing up a storm right out of recovery. When I was in recovery for my vsg I don't really remember much although I must have been funny cause the recovery nurse was laughing as I was talking to him. I was up walking around very soon after I got to the room. Yes, I was sore but nothing I could not handle. I do not consider myself to have a high pain tolerance.

Ohh good luck cooper
