    So where is the womens powder room?? I dont know where to put my question. My question is for the ladies. I went to buy a bra today because mine just seem too big around. The bra specialist (lol) measured me at a 44F or 44G.... Before surgery I was a 52DDD I told her I had surgery so how can my cup size have gotten bigger. She said as I lose weight in my waist my bust size increases.... Anyone experience this problem? Dont get me wrong im happy my boobs havnt gotten smaller but it was a little weird to buy such a big bra
  2. Omg ur so right.I even did that with my picture and had to edit it.thanks for pointing it out
  3. Well I havnt been on this site for a few months. I thought Id thread in & share my journey so far. SW:365 DOS:345 CW:263 (just weighed myself) Omg Im so happy to have a 102 lb weight loss right on my 4 month anniversary! I recently had so much concern about the amount of food I could eat and the foods that I can eat. However, I know for sure what I am doing is working for my body. Ive had minor issues here n there but ive gottwn through them. The main thing people ask me is "Would you do it again?" My answer: "Yes I would do it over a million times. This surgery is so worth it for me!"
  4. Okay great.im glad to know im not the only one who can eat more foods.im right with u lisa.I can eat certain foods but I choose not to.once in awhilr a bite or two is ok.thank u everyone for ur helpful advice

However my concern is I feel I can eat almost nething.I can eat 4-6oz depending on density of food. I have done salads.meats.no beef unless its real soft.some pastas like a bit or 2.no sodas.a bite of something seeet here and there.anyone else here 4months or more feel that can eat quite a bit and a lot more options.it scarese to know I hav more options now.
  6. So im coming up on 3 months post op.seems like this past month I haven't lost much weight I've lost 12 pounds in a month. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I know I don't drink protein shakes. I tend to snack throughout the day. But I feel that if I'm not eating big portions like a used to you why am I not losing a significant amount of weight. Any information will help me

    Im a bit scared with the amount and types of foods I can eat. My typical schedule 8am:3 oz oatmeal or greek yogurt 1030am: cheesestick Noon:4 oz Beans 6pm:4 oz beans or chicken or tuna I can drink liquids no problem all day I can usually eat up to 4oz no problem is this normal for almost 2 months out??? Foods I eat Tuna Canned chicken Beans cheese Yogurt Sandwich meat Soups Potatoes ( rarely)
  9. I eat beans everyday.pinto, navy, chili. O try different ones. I just wanted to know why am I NOT gassy. Im not complaining im just curious. Thanks a bunch
  10. I did this until I took a bite of hamburger meat and the oil wasnt drained out. I sucked down the oil and spit the meat out. Within mins I felt sick and started to hurt. I will never chew n spit again. What I do now when I want something I lick it. My thing is doritos. So every few days ill take a couple licks to a chip. Also i lick the cheese from mac n cheese. I dont see a problem with it
  11. For me if I make the meal I feel more at ease. If someone else makes it I feel the food and smell of food takes over me a d makes me want it. Versus when I take over and cook food has no control over me. Also I think we can smell the aroma of food when its prepared by someone else versus when wer standing right in it I dont smell it as much.
  12. Hy week 2 I had lost 39 lbs and sirgeon ssid that may have been the culprit that made me so malnourish and I wasnt able to get enuf fluids in.
  13. So im almost 1 month out.just got my picc line taken out. I was pproved to move on to soft fish (can this put cannes tuna??).soft veggies & runny eggs?.wants me to stay away from mashed potatoes (carbs). What stage would this be??what other foods fit into this stage?? And why am I so afraid to leglt go of my pureed soups and try something new?? Anyone else felt this way?

    I am about 3 1/3 weeks post op. Still on picc line for nutrition. I wasnt drinking enough. I as given the go ahead to try yogurt. Im really scared. I dont want to feel pain. I do however want to be somewhat normal. Ive been on pure liquids past 3 weeks. Im doing ok. Not feeling hungry but I feel so much time has past that when I try something like sf jello it doesnt tastr good.nothing does.I hav no desire for nething.will the yogurt hurt?do I thin it out? I cant do liquids forever
  20. 3 weeks post op and just noticed yesterday my tongue is sore. Really red and all liquids hurt it. Anyone had this problem?
  21. So today im 3 weeks post op. Im still on pucc line for nutrition. Surgeon said maybe nxt thursday hell take it out. I was down 39 lbs but I have gained 10 since being on this nutrition. Surgeons not concerned. He says its all liquids and once im off theme weight will come off. Im basically starting over. I wasnt able to drink nething until this past weekend. W.o the nutrition id be so dehyrated. Im lucky if im getting 5-10oz fluids in. I was given permission to start trying liquids again. Im good with water, G2 & sf popcicles. Just made some noodles and im drinking the broth.so far so good. I bought some girl scout thin mint creamer for coffee today. I dont drink coffee but I was going to add some to my proteon shakes to see if that helps my stomache tolerate it. So far not hungry or thirsty. Im actually scared to try stuff. Dr said once I tolerate fluids again I can start a few bites of yogurt. Im so scared. Did neone else feel like this??
  22. So this is where Im at. I am 18 days post op. I habe a picc line for nutrition-I wasnt getting enought through liquids and dr. Didnt want to advance me to next stage due to stomache inflammation. No leaks ct was good.So since Ive been on nutrition (4days) Ive gained 6lbs. Does anyone know if this is normal??
  23. So these past few days I feel I have posted negative things about my surgery. I know I was just looking for relief and some answers. Update: Picc line was put in for added nutrition, not as bad as I thought it would be. I have officially lost 39 lbs in my journey. Im out of the 300's and into 200s. Nsv: I dont have to wear bra extended anymore. My shoes are too big and I can see my own feet when I look down.
  24. Having the same thing.im 2 weeks today and last night was horrible.I jad a nagging pain all morning anf it gradually got worse.by night it was real painful.I cant sit straight up.last night I couldnt drink nething it made my stomach spasm.had a ct a few hrs ago and all was good.I do howeber need a picc line for nutrition tomorrow.surgeon said liquids may be whats causing my stomacj to get irritates and/or inflammed.so they want me on picc to heal
