  1. 5'4" top weight 305 size 28 3G 6 months out 225 lbs size 18 pants and xl tops
  2. I had a MRI three months after surgery. My surgeons office said it was fine.
  3. My doctor said I wouldn't have a bm for amonth because I was on liquids for the month.
  4. Thanks for this thread. I too need to be reminded of what to do to get back on track and away from sugar. I need to remember why I had surgery on the first place.
  5. I am a retired teacher. My doctor suggested taking two weeks off of work because you need to be drinking constantly to get in all your fluids. I was also really tired at first.
  6. Could be the chicken cheese combo. I am 4 months out and can only now eat chicken. it used to go down real hard, like it was getting stuck.
  7. Saw my dr today . I no longer have diabetes and have lost 60 lbs. I need to deal with the emotional and psychological stuff around eating . I have started eating chocolate and potato chips. I made an appointment with a psychologist that deals with eating disorders. Feeling a bit disheartened. (I really don't want to do the work to eat better., feeling sorry for myself. Need to pray for willingness.)
  8. What is rotel?
  9. I Have been eating candy and other food that is not healthy and will cause me to gain weight. I was sleeved July 10, 2012 and have lost 50 pounds. Looking at my old pictures before surgery rinds me of why I had the surgery. I need to remember it is a slippery slope for me to eat sugary and fried food. I need to get back on track.
  10. Fabulous idea. Go for it.
  11. When I saw my doctor after surgery she said you may go a week between bowel movements because all you are taking in is liquids. Hope this helps.
  12. Can you call your doctor? They will tell you what you should do. I know it is scary. I will keep you in my prayers. Cynthia
  13. The same thing happened tome when I was on the 6 mos diet, I didn't loose weight. I had surgery July 10 and am down 35 lbs and feeling great. Hang in there.
  14. I used to drive myself nuts by weighing my self all the time. What I try to do now is only weigh myself once month. I am almost 6 weeks out and have lost 30 lbs and feeling great.
  15. My doctor recommended to take two weeks off work. I would suggest rescheduling . I felt fine after my surgery but I would get really tired and have to lie down. You also need to sip Water constantly and that would be hard to do. Good luck with your surgery.
  16. What can I take for back spasms. I don't have any of the prescription pain killer left
  17. I Am almost 4 weeks out and am on vacation with my family. We went out for dinner and I had an appetizer of fresh scallops. We are on the east coast so there is plenty of fresh seafood. It was delicious.
  18. After I ate applesauce I felt terrible, not really nauseus more like anxiety my heart was beating really fast. Then I threw up. Does anyone have a way to deal with these terrible symptoms?
  19. I would call your doctor just to be sure everything is ok. I called my doctor right after and they didn't mind.
  20. Am looking for support in NB Canada. I gad surgery July 10.
  21. THey said I can have hummus and PB at day 10. does anyone know how much is a serving
  22. I had surgery 6 days ago. I would call my doctor about the bleeding and the pain. They should be able to help.
  23. Any ideas on crushing medicine? I take lipitor , metformin and trazpdone. they all taste horrible mixed with Jello.
  24. Had surgery July 10. I am having trouble getting enough fluids in. I was told to only drink 4 oz in an hour. I have added soup and yogurt. I should have 64 oz of fluids per day which is 13 4 oz servings. I don't have enough hours.
