  1. Its strange but the first place that I noticed a difference is my hands and feet. I have lost 29.5 pounds now and have started seeing the difference in my body.
  2. This passed Saturday was 2 weeks since I had my surgery. There is no way that I could eat all that. I drink alot of water and I may get to eat 1/2 cup of soup for lunch. For dinner I get about another 1/2 cup of soup if I am lucky. The protein drinks I cant drink they make me sick. I tried a slim fast drink today that I like and didnt get sick.
  3. I'll have to get that and try it. I hope it works for me. I still get tired after being up about 5 or 6 hours. I have started taking a one a day vitamin and b12. So I hope that's helps. I am down 21 pounds in 2 weeks. Good luck with going back to work.
  4. Hey everybody I am the other lady that had the surgery the same day as the sisters. I am doing great except for heartburn after I eat. Dr. Garcia and his staff are great. I felt no pain and actually went back to work the day after I got home. I do get tired fast but I think that is because I dont eat much because of the heartburn.
  5. I can take about 4 small bites of something and have to quit eating cause I get heartburn so bad. Does this happen to anyone else? My husband had this same surgery but this never happened to him. I am taking 150mg of zantac twice a day and it helps some but not enough.
