I did it 2 weeks out and felt fine. It might be how vigorous you were or the position you were in.
-
Wow!! Just WOW!! Good WOW!
-
definitely more!!!

My relationship with my husband hasn't changed. We have always been best friends. The only thing that has changed is the frequency of sex.

I am eight months out and I have issues with milk. I bothers my stomach, so I don't know if I am lactose intolerant. Cheese and yogurt seem to be fine, but milk itself upsets my stomach.
-
It's different for everyone. I started out at 400-600 daily and I am doing around 800 right now. But everyone will be different so there will variations.
-
I was told to have no more than 15 g carbs daily, but I actually go higher than that. I try to stick with eggs, cheese, yogurt, chicken, fish, etc. It's actually pretty easy. Just do a little research and see what you come up with.

I am 5'1" and my goal weight is 120. I used to be a size 10 when I was younger, but I really don't care about the size as long as I am healthy.
-
I went shopping for some jeans because of course I can't really fit into my old ones. THEY ARE TOO BIG!! I went into the regular area where I haven't been in years and found things that fit. I am wearing a 14/16 top which is fine and a size 18 pants. I feel beautiful. Not trying to brag, but I haven't felt this good in a loooooong time. I can feel the goal coming.
-
I had a c-section also and thought that hurt worse than the sleeve did. I got up the first time after having the sleeve and was shocked that it wasn't more painful. So, don't worry. Everything will be fine.
-
I am getting that too. Like Dooter said it's not how it used to be, though.
-
My husband has told me that. It feels great doesn't it.
-
Oh my. I hope everything go well. I am sorry you had to go through that.
-
That sounds great.

I was getting around 400-600 calories during this stage, but others have been different. Has your doctor told you anything about what you should be doing? Mine gave me a sheet of info on what calorie level I should be at and what I should be eating.
