Shakeology anyone?! Idk the website totally sold me on it but before i place my order i thought id ask you guys:)

Has any one heard of Ovation Cell therapy? I hear it on the radio all the time! I heard it really works! Might try it out. http://ovationhair.com/

I heard the Paleo diet is really fast weightloss. I think I'm going to say that! I just read about it last night. It's simple carb restrictions and focuses on food that is naturally available. Made sense to me! I'm also going to say the gallbladder thing too. And they actually found that I have a complete right sided heart block so I'm goin to say the doctor told me I had to lose weight bc I'm prediabetic. I'm not really prediabetic but it runs on both sides of my family so probably eventually I would have gotten it. But this is a great thread. Me and my mom have been trying to figure out what to say. I haven't seen my coworkers in a long time. I was 232 when I last saw them. It will bet very noticeable when I get back in two weeks because now I'm 213.6. My surgery date was 8/1.

I lost 30 lbs fat and gained 15 lbs lean muscle mass when i was using body bugg. It was sooo motivating. I dont like that you have to pay a subscription though. And that you cant connect it to alot of apps such as MyDiaryNet. I dont wanna double log my food. But its the only device proven to exactly measure calories burned during wake and sleep hours. I want fit bit bc it works with my app but i got reviews that its not very accurate. And body bugg was proven accurate by some US legal affiliation. I wanna say fda but not sure. I JUST read this. Trainers like bodybugg. BB dwnside: the skin underneath it doesnt get enough sun and so ur left with embarrassing tan lines. Not discreet and falls off slightly as u sweat.

Goal weight is 130-140. My surgeon said because of my body comp, I will look very skinny already at 165ish. When I'm around that weight I'm probably a size 8. But I'm going to prove them wrong. Average Weight for my height to be at a normal weight is 132. So that's what I'm aiming for. I'm 24 years old. I'm 10 days post op and have lost 15 lbs as of this mornings weigh in. I was 232 preop. I'm 5"5. Good luck with your surgery btw! Hope everything goes smoothly for you:)

When was your surgery? And congratulations:) Mine was 8/1. 15 lbs down. 85 lbs to go to have an average BMI! Yayy for us!!

Guys!!!! I discovered a god send last night: Www.bariatricfoodie.blogspot.com This lady is awesome!!!!! Great recipes for WLS post patients for food i never thought id ever be able to have again like pizza!!! My favorite food in the world is pizza and this woman found the answer! All her recipes are dope! Cant wait to go on my soft food phase so i can try some things of hers! Good thing i found her day 10 post op!

I am day 6 post op and the gas is actually almost resolved! Wooooo hooo!!! Because the doctor told me that it would take months but i can actually burp nowwww!!! Yayy! He prescribed Omeprazole (didnt help much) and altho I still take it, I also take Target brand maximum Simethicone chewable tablets at meals and as needed. However, i havent really been diligent with the at meals part and im still fine:) they taste ok too. Cherry cream. Good luck with the gas!

I bought 7500 mcg biotin pills and make sure i get in all my protein and other vitamins. I havent noticed any hairloss at all. Hopefully it continues this way. I bought the biotin from puritan's pride. Man, they were showing hair remedies for all kinds of hair trauma on Dr. Oz last night. I wish I kept it on that channel. However, Bridesmaids was on too. Haha.

Ok guys i searched online for open wound care. Youre right. No hydrogen peroxide. Just soap and water than air to dry and then gauze or bandaid:) phew! Thanks for all your input! Saved me $2 too! Haha

What should i clean it with than? Castille soap and water? Im at safeway i just bought waterproof bandaids.

Where the steristrip are, they were kinda dirty n the doctor did tell me to expect a little leakage but that the skin would start coming together after 1 day after the drain was pulled out. The steristrip is coming off and i see a tiny bit of puss inside a 1mm by 0.75 cm opening on the end of the incision. I am on my way to safeway to buy hydrogen peroxide to clean the wound bc i def dont want to get an infxn. Its hurting. My dad n mom r nurses n r going to bring me clean steristrips tmrw but i dont want to wait to clean it ya know? Im scared. Whats yours look like?

Hey everyone. Im day 6 post op and its been 4 days since the drain removal. I have steristrips on top of the site. They told me thered be a little leakage but that it should heal after a day after the removal of the drain. But the steristrip half came off and its a tiny miniscule open and wet. What should i do?

Thank you!!!! I just spoke with Dr. Ortiz. Hes like a movie star!

Was just picked up at San Diego Airport! On my way to the Obesity Control Center to do pre-op tests with Dr. Ortiz and then off to surgery!! This feels all very surreal! Im nervous and excited. A little scared. But i think it has to do with my being alone. My auntie wont be able to fly in until tomorrow, if even possible for her. Heading towards the US/ Mexico border right now!

Surgery 8/1 with Dr. Ortiz. I bought myoplex shakes. Deee-lish! Im starting them today. My stomach hurts soooo bad right now because i havent eaten since yesterday evening. I work graveyard shift.

Are you unionized? Im a nurse and i too was scared but my supervisor said ," whoa were not that evil to just fire you because ur sick! Take care of yourself first". Im on disability without being on FMLA. Ive only been working for 7 months. Uve been there awhile so maybe theyll accommodate u. Good luck!

Did you take an extra week off in order to recover or just hang out in Cali? Sorry just curious.
