  1. It's ok to use crystal light... Unsweetened tea... Propel.... Sugar free Gatorade. Just keep it in
  2. Call and ask the dentist. He will prescribe it if u need it
  3. Looking good girl! Keep up the great work!
  4. I would seriously go to Mexico before self paying in the US. Get a center of excellence down there and take a vacay
  5. Sometimes it's about the inches, not the scale. It's ok, take in stride, you'll be going down a size. The scale will follow soon
  6. If you're cheating on ur diet- expect the pain. Follow that to the letter. I know it stinks and you're ready to be normal, but what you're doing is dangerous. It'll go away in like 20 mins. Don't cheat again.
  7. Mine were supportive, but we live in a misinformed world. You'll get through it, love.
  8. 4 months here. I can have fruit in my yogurt at 4-6 weeks.
  9. Follow the nurse. Docs are stupid. Find a nutritionalist/dietician ASAP
  10. Water. Dilute a Popsicle with water. Sf koolaid only use 1/2 a pack til it's desired sweetness. Oh, tea. I drank my body weight in unsweetened tea with Truvia sweetener
  11. Depends on your NUT and how fast you can take things. I am 1 1/2 weeks out and doc has me on soft food. It's only two bites of tuna, but this should be about managing healthy food intake and exercise output
  12. There is a section on here for self pay/Mexico surgery , you can try there or search for his name/hospital name with the search tool. Good luck you guys! I'm sure he's great! Be sure to put up your experiences for other peeps
  13. I'm so glad you're feeling better! TOM gets me every time!
  14. St Francis with dr chaudri
  15. It's the pint of getting circulation going through your legs. If you massage them, put lotion on them, roll them, put caffeine on them.... It'll work. Just get the circulation flowing
  16. It's like all these clothes are now in our grasp. I used to hate clothes shopping but it was cause I couldn't find anything... As we get thinner- the possibilities expand
  17. Mine hit me when I had to sign all the consents in the docs office. The ones that said' I understand I could die' 'I understand I can gain weight back'... That freaked me out a bit. But I wouldn't have change this surgery for the world
  18. I think it's great- advertise in some bariatric offices and you'll do great
  19. No test, just went n saw doc. He asked about what I was eating, problems, swallowing... Looked at food journal and bam- I can eat soft food.... Meat has never tasted so good... Well, both tablespoons of tuna
  20. And take liquid Benadryl for the itches
  21. I came out drinking just fine. I have no issues getting all my water in whatsoever. But one day, I ate two Popsicles, and boy I felt it. Now that I've started mushy food- oh, restriction is there. But water is no issue. Be grateful
  22. Yep, soups are great! Make sure it's low fat and no lumps (or stuff you'd have to chew) pudding, yogurt, all fair game. Congrats!
  23. Woohoo! Guess who passed the doctor test today!? This girl did! On to purees and soft food; first venture: tuna=success. Lovin it!
  24. If you get chewable or liquid- start now. You need those vitamins and minerals to meet your daily requirements, so it's best to start asap
