They cancelled mine, gave me a 5 day round of meds and did my surgery the following Monday morning..I would see if you could get some really good antibiotics from your PCP then you won't have any problems. I had a non-productive cough, tickle in my throat and NO fever..but since I was coughing the dr didn't want me straining to cough and popping a staple in my new tummy.

I know right!!! I stopped and got me a Breakfast taco with cheese and egg and bacon...I am eating the egg and cheese out of it and enjoying the bacon flavor...so happy right now to not have to "drink" my food anymore!!

I know..I have to get back to excercising...I have gotten out of all the habits that I had established. Thanks everyone. Hearing all of this is just what I needed. Im back at it already...my friend has challenged me to drink 120 ounces of Water today...I may not make it...but I am CERTAINLY going to try my hardest. I have already started logging everything that I eat on MFP. I am determined to make my own personal goal!

Everyone heals at a different rate. My doctor told me that if I thought I could handle some things such as refried Beans then to go for it...but to remember that I will need to take it VERY slow. I was eating refried beans with sour cream and cheese at 1.5 weeks post op...I would gradually try other things and it if pissed my tummy off I wouldn't do it again. I am just now going back and trying those things again..you will not fail! It may take some time to get into a groove...but once you get there you will be good to go...Also, remember that stalls happen and not to get down on yourself. It took me seeing a major NSV before I realized that even if my scale isn't moving my body is still changing...

I got on the scale this morning...thinking...please god let me be in the 300's finally...and low and behold...the scale read 399.6! I haven't been below 400 in 6 years! I am soooooooooooo excited I want to cry! Next goal...get to 350...whil is just 49.6 pounds away...That will be the smallest I have been in 10+ years...This tool actually is working! I was sooo afraid I would be the one that it wouldn't work for. I know that I could be down more if I would excercise more and be stricter on myself...but losing slow is a good thing too! Less skin to deal with hopefully!!

I know it is totally normal to feel that way....it's why I keep trying to focus on all the positives....and all the things that I will be happier doing...
This will sound retarded to most...but for those of us who are larger may understand...the thing that I am looking forward to the most is wearing some 6 inch heels and not feeling like I am going to break my neck...or an ankle...I may splurge and buy me a most awesome pair when I get to that stage!

I plugged in the recipe to MFP and made it to serve 4 people based on the 3oz patty that she said she made and given that it has 12oz of crab meat. It shows to be 272 calories, 22 grams of Protein, 5 grams of sugar and 11 carbs. That also takes into consideration the sauce and dividing it evenly as well. Hope that helps!
I am thinking of making this using shrimp..if it will work...

So over the last couple of months I have noticed that I have 1 week each month that I could LITERALLY eat everything in sight...and then then next few weeks everytime I eat I either get queesy or super full, super fast..like doing good to get in a cheese stick full...
anyone else had this happen?

Anytime! Seriously...I want to have more people around me that understand that a kids meal is even too much to eat! lol.

How about bowling imstead of a movie, that way we can talk and get to know each other?

I take a prenatal and am in now way planning to get pregnant..but prenatal Vitamins have such a high source of the things that we need versus regular vitamins. I take just regular pills that you can swallow but I am also 4 months out. Ask your surgeon since they are all sooo very different.

I am 4 months post op and have lost 60 lbs. But I got on the scale this morning and I have gained. Granted it was only 5lbs but still it was a gain. To be honest I thought I would be down more than 60 lbs by now. I haven't been as strict as I should be this last month...so many bad things happened and I went back to my old ways and turned to junk food. I feel like I have fallen off the wagon and I am struggling to get back on it.

Yes, I am trying to catch my bad habits now and make more of a change..I have already changed so much...no soda's, very little coffee, lots of Water, counting my Protein intake...I am so happy with my steady weight loss...with the exception of the stupid stalls and my cycles being all retarded...but if those are the only negative side effects then I will take them! My goal is to be 100 lbs down by my birthday in September!

It should continue on as the same insurance carrier which means there should not be a need to resubmit anything. I did insurance for several years and once the terminated employee accepted COBRA it was almost as if they were still an employee with the levels of coverage that they got.
