  1. i left the hospital after 2 days on soft/purees and at 5 weeks could start slowly adding regular foods, no sugar, honey or items with white flour for 6 months.
  2. 2months is when i really started to notice, my pants were falling off, shirts where huge. I am 4 months now and last night in the shower I almost lost my wedding ring which used to squeeze my finger it was so tight.
  3. i added melted low fat cheese to almost everything, it adds flavor and protein.
  4. The blood thinners can affect your period, also the hormones you are releasing.
  5. I showered Wednesday before leaving for the hospital and again Friday when I got home. I could have showered in the hospital but was scared to try with the IV and everything. And i was on liquids only in the hospital, Saturday morning i was allowed to start purees.
  6. i am 4 months as of last week.
  7. i don't remember when the 1st time was, but i have had chips with salsa 4 times now, 3 times at Mexican restaurants and once at home. Only had 4 or 5 chips each time.
  8. No, you should be fine, I didn't really start noticing any restriction till solids.
  9. It depends on your Doctor and the information you were given, I left the hospital in the mushees phase, i know that my diet was a lot less strict than most others I have seen.
  10. I was told i could do anything except lifting weights as soon as it was confortable, no weights till 6 weeks out.
  11. i was allowed to drink it as soon as i came home on full liquids.
  12. Once you can eat normal food it gets soooo much easier. And once or 2 bites will fill you up and usually cure the craving.
  13. i'm 4months out and have never had any burping issues. There are a few foods that bother me and cause some burping but i woul say on average i burp less than 3 times a day.
  14. My doctor office recomends 18 month. So that you are past the rapid weight loss phase and your body is maintaing a healthy weight for a few months.
