The dress is already too big! In wearing a 14/16. I gave it to my sister! Do you have any of that size clothes?

I went to a thrift store today & found some nice stuff. Jeans & capris.

Looks like my stall is finally over! Two more lbs this week! Yeah!

Go to Target and get aThermos drinking cup.

I had surgery 3/22. I lost 20 lbs the first week. I lost ten the next two weeks. However, I have hit a stall! Nothing the last nine days. I will try upping my protein.

I drank a couple of cups in the morning per-op, but now I don't seem to want it. It didn't taste right.

Doctors are a very personal & individual choice. That being said, I would never have any surgery done in Mexico. For those of you who do, God Bless you and I hope it turns out well. It seems there are many people here who are happy & had positive experiences. I paid $13K for my sleeve in DFW where it as done at a great hospital only three miles from a level one trauma center. However, when I was 33, I had gall bladder surgery that turned into a 9 month ICU/ re-hab ordeal. So I view surgery different than most. Good luck to all!

How did dollop turn to Fallopian???? Hahaha

I buy the lentils, chick peas in the microwave pouches. I eat half with a Fallopian of Greek yogurt. Yummy! I think tasty being is the brand.

I am down 30 pounds. All my 18/20 stuff is too big & I don't have much stuff smaller. I'm happy to send a box of stuff to a couple of folks & would love some smaller things! I live south of DFW & was sleeved on 3/23.

Steam a cup of broccoli, add a cup of milk, 1 scoop of chicken soup unjury & blend. I add 1/2 scoop cheese unjury or shredded cheese. Yummy!

What about pumpkin! I used the canned & added vanilla protien powder, cinnamon, & cool whip. It is good.

Try the liquid stevia you find at most health food stores. The plain & the flavors are good.

My NUT said its not the straw per see, but its easier to gulp with it. Use it like a sipper it should be no problem.

I had lots of abdominal adhesions, so things were intense during surgery. Thought he might have to do an open procedure. I had a drain due to the bruising & manipulation required. Big hassle but worth it. Came out on day 10. Yuck!

Three weeks & 30lbs for me! Good Luck!

I also add diced up boild egg to my soup for the same purpose.

I am worried about support, but also feeling like a sausage!

Got the dress today & it is gorgeous!

I am down to 213! Last time I lost this much weight, I had a baby!

I add it to healthy choice soups or to warm water. It is pretty good.

Am only two weeks post-op & have lost 22lbs. I feel like I need some kind of support under garments to " smooth" things out. It's a long time till I can even think about a permanent solution. I even feel like I need a smaller bra. Any suggestions?

I add an orange protein shot. Every little bit helps! I am addicted!

Try hot herbal tea with flavored protien shots and Splenda or stevia. A little protein is better than none.

Had surgery with Dr Kuhn at Medical City in Dallas. I won't go into it here, but I have a very complicated medical history & could get no one to agree to try to do my sleeve laparoscopicly. Praise God, Dr Kuhn not only tried, but succeeded! Granted, I had a bigger incision & a drain, but only two days in the hospital & I'm doing great! Down from 234 to 219!!
