    So I went shopping today because I have NO clothes and the store I shop at had a major sale!! Half off already clearance priced items. So I went in there and cleaned up in some things especially since I only have 15lbs to lose before I reach goal now! Here is some pics of me in the dressing room tryin things on' date=' and in shock bcuz I can fit in a size SMALL IN JUNIOR SIZES!!!! I was in shock completely and almost cried!!! I haven't been able to wear a small in anything in YEARS!!! Needless to say I bought everything I liked lol but going from a size 3x-4x in plus size to a small-med in junior sizes will make u want everything that looks good lol[/quote']

    Wow! 4 months post opt and already only 15 lbs away from reaching your goal?!!! Now thats amazing and truly inpiration.... Please give us a quick run down of what things helped you acomplish this..? Exercise/ meal plans etc...! :)

    Hello! Im going to Dr Kim on December 17! :-) What does your post op diet for him? What's on the menu for the first week? Second week? I want to be prepared as far in advanced as possible.

    You will be given a reference book at your preop appointment so no need to be worried. But I can tell you that Week one is clear liquids; broths, crystal light, teas, Jello, etc. Week 2 is same as 1 plus your Protein Shakes, cloudy Soups (creamy soups), sugarfree pudding, etc.

    Week 3 is when you start your pureed food; Cant wait.. today is day 6 post opt and ready for some creamy soups :) I might cheat tonight. I feel great!

    I was sleeved the 29th and I have yet to take any pain meds! Today when I showered I changed my wound dressings and to my suprise my wounds were larger than I thought! I have no pain at all though! Had nausea the first and second day after surgery but once I got thru that I am good, I sleep on my stomach and have been sleeping on my side/stomach since day 2! My back hurts sleeping on it... I am sorry for all you who are hurting! Things will get better for sure! I was scared that I would be in pain since I've been reading alot of it here but glad to share I have touched any pain meds - only took nausea meds the first two days - I am doing great now! Keep up to good work all!

    I have several reasons ;

    1. Being coorporate america limitations for the obese, if you ain cute and skinny you wont get the correct opportinities no matter if the whole office talks about how great and smart you are.

    2. Being I am 29, no kids due to PCOS and married for 1 year, have always dreamed of at least being pregnant with my first at 30 yrs old!

    3. Just feeling better bout what I look like, I am the youngest of 3 sisters and have always been the smallest - all of a sudden these past 4 years moving to Texas has put a toll on me - not sure if it's homesickness or what but I've gained 40lbs in the past 4 yrs, never been small but never over 200lbs... Still need to be closer to 150, i am 3rd day post opt at 239# have los 15 since preop

    Based on several recommendations, I stocked up on powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup for my upcoming surgery. I haven't tasted it yet (I'm saving it) but I am told it is fantastic.

    If you're in the States, I'm sure they can get it to you in a day or two.

    I have ordered Unjury chicken Soup and unflavored but it's been like 4 days already and havent received it... i didnt get options for shipping! :(

    Today is day 3.. I am walking just fine havent taken ANY pain meds.. oh and yesterday I bot SOBE Zero yumberry pomogrante and it's delicious :) .. still not getting ANY Protein in... cant wait until monday to call my doc and see if i can try some milk - i think i will try some today anyways... :P

    Are you mixing your shakes with Water or skim milk? Because the firs time I tried drinking my shake I mixed it with water and i couldnt drink it... Now i only have 4 shakes a day since I mix it with skim milk... And to be honest I am not even drinking 4 since I run out of time... ive been drinking more like three and one cup of chicken broth- and trust me- not hungry one bit... You really should stick to the diet because your surgery is around the corner and you wint have a choice then...

    My surgery date is also Nov 28th and I am having a super hard time following the liquid diet totally' date=' I have been eating once a day <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />[/quote']

    Eating once a day??? My surgery date is the 29th and I only had to do a 7 day diet - been doing good though, search for different ways to change your shakes - and findout what triggers you to 'eat' and stop... :). You can do it!

    Greetings all, glad am not the only one wit so many questions.

    I had my 1st visit with Dr. Kim on 05/09... I am trying to go thru my insurance which requires a 6 month nutrion program (which I have already scheduled thru Dr Kim's office)...

    I am having a sleep study done on June 1st and need a Psych evaluation thru my insurance as well. (United Health)

    Good news for me is I have met all of my deductibles (had gall bladder removed in feb 12) and I dont have any major issues but my employer doesnt require me to just to be BMI over 40 which I am (bmi 43) ...

    I am a little hesistant about my choice for a surgeon DR KIM .. I have a small window November - December for him to do my surgery ... and for his team to get my approval in time for surgery no later than this December... am just scared...

    Any suggestions?
