I receieved a blood clot in my arm because of the IV during the surgery. 4 months later I am still dealing with it. I currently on 15mg of warfarin. I am young and healthy and not prone to blood clots. It can happen to anyone. Good luck. I hope you don't get a blood clot and that everything works out for you.

Good luck to you! If you need a buddy...let me know! I am 23 and just graduated college so I will probably be able to relate

I am 7 weeks out today and was wondering how many calories and exercise everyone is getting in at this point. Personally I shoot for 600-700 cals and am jogging&walking about 4 times a week (1.5 miles). I do not know if this is normal or not. I just want everyone to post what they are doing also, I would love if everyone left their myfitnesspal info so we can be friends!

Haha I wondered why it put those there when I started a new thread. I thought I might have mistakenly did it. I guess it was just trying to censor something that didn't need it lol

I thought his support group was to***ht at 6:30 at the Colleyville Center but noone was there when I showed up. Does anyone know when it is for this month? The flyer that I have says August 1st @ 6:30pm. Weirdddd. Maybe I had an outdated flyer?

Egg salad. One hard boiled egg, mustard, and 1 tablespoon of fat free mayo (add onion if you want) and blend! I added salt and pepper for taste! Fat free refried Beans. 1/2 cup of ff refried beans blended with chopped onion. Put some fat free shredded cheese on top and microwave. Totally delicious! Good luck!

Yep...so good! Add some chopped onion to it and then microwave some shredded cheese on top! Loved that on my blended phase!

I only had to have the lovenox injections because I ended up with a blood clot from the IV site when I had my surgery. They gave me cumaden as well for it ( and am still taking it over a month later )Not sure why you are being given those...hope everything is okay! Keep us updated!

You go girl!

I had surgery June 18th and have lost about 38lbs. I had really bad allergies before surgery. I was ALWAYSSSS sneezing ( like around 20 times a day ). Since surgery I have not had any allergies! I rarely sneeze anymore! Anyone else had this happen or know what might be the cause? I am thinking that I may be allergic to maybe wheat or something? I use to eat a lot of wheat bread, crackers, carbsssss, and you name it. Help!

I went to the pool and just relaxed with some friends and didn't do much swimming just hung out on a noodle. I decided that I would try to swim to the deep end. Bad idea. My stomach muscles were still very very sore that I immediately felt moderate/uncomfortable pain. Be careful and enjoy the cool water in this Texas Heat!

I could submerge my incisions in water after 2 weeks. ( pool/bath)

I just googled The Heart Attack Grill and I am completely appalled. I am so sorry that you were put into that situation. That makes me sick! You WILL find better people to be around...it just takes a little time and effort! Good luck!

I have those and I really like them!I am 6 weeks out of surgery today. I ALWAYS take little bitty bites eating it. I seriously take about 10-15 bites and chew until it kind of disolves. My doctors office said that she has seen some of those kinda of things get stuck in the stomach. She advised for me not to start taking them until I was 4weeks out. I do not take them everyday just occasionally when I think about it or want to.

I am 6 weeks tomorrow and have lost roughly 33 lbs. I lost about 12 of that on my pre-op diet. I don't known if that is normal or not...
