  1. Looks great to me! Your boobs look really good! And your torso ; have you had any plastics or is that hard work? Curious I'm just starting out and freezing the loose skin and no boobs.
  2. At least you ate the protein!!!!!!!!
  3. Maybe you ate a little too much
  4. Congrats; welcome to the LOSERS bench!!!
  5. Your post op should have been included in surgery; did you even call and ask them?
  6. I am 11 days out; I'm sleeping in my bed BUT I am not able to sleep on my sides at all, weird feeling. Guess it will be a while
  7. My nutritionist said we should never eat prime rib or steak again. One tiny bite if any he said. They are right you really need to eat only soft meats. chicken can be to hard too. Chop in a chopper
  8. No need for you own PJ 's Because of IV you will not be able to wear your own gown or top. Hospital gowns snap on the sleeves for this reason. PJ pants or shorts Robe Slippers or favorite flip flops Of course personals bathroom ( pads or tampons) just incase
  9. That's great! Im looking forward to 14's
  10. I choose VSG. Because there were No cutting Of the intestines for the malabsorption. Just remember this is a life style change; not a short term diet. Most all the reason we over eat is in our minds. This is where you have to commit to and remember to control. My DR put me on a 10 day pre op liquid diet; in those 10 days the first 4-5 were difficult; day 6 I was off diet coke and chocolate; no more cravings; even now day 10 post op: I don't crave them. Though when I look at them; it's like my hand wants to grab them; I have to slow down and think; you really see your habits once on liquid diet. My Dr does this: Pre op -10 day liquid diet. ( last 3 clear) Post op- 2 days Clear liquids 2 wks full liquids 2 wks puréed 2 wks soft foods Then regular food Each meal is 4 oz All DR. Are different. I stayed 2 nights in hospital. No complications so far. It is likely you will have gallbladder problems with any of these surgeries. Mine is ok so far. But I anticipate issues, based on knowledge of how things work.
  11. May I ask what size clothes you are in now?
  12. WOW! YOu look awesome! You were beautiful before and now your beautiful and confident! I have hope that on my 40 th birthday ( nov 16) I will have lost that much and look as sexy as you do! I was getting a little worried cause I have a beautiful face now but what if I'm not as beautiful after??!!! Crazy I know!! Stuip stuff just comes in our heads during these first few weeks I guess! Keep up the awesome job!
  13. My doctor says I only have to be out 2 weeks. Do you have a lot of lifting in that job?
  14. My nutrionist say our stomache can stretch back out.
  15. Started the next morning; anesthesia will make u start
  16. I see I must be one of them. I eat cream based soup all the time; I hope I can eat cheese when it's time
  17. I just made a protein shake with skim milk; drank 4 oz; I am so sick right now! Omg!
