Single...42..sleeved... And down roughly 80 lbs. Since 6/29/12.. I met a guy I've been dating for about 6 weeks now... He knows about my surgery... Picks on me when i burp after eating... Shares his dinner with me... And the biggest concern he has.. Am i going to stop seeing him after I've lost more weight... Its odd to be on this end of that feeling i think??? it seems like each jean size i lose.. The more confident i am...

Salad... Not said... Stupid smart phone!

my surgery date was June 29th, 2012... I am down 75lbs since my surgery date!!!!

Is it ok to eat after surgery?

Can we drink sweet tea? I am craving something other than water....

I've lost 56 lbs and down 3 jeans sizes!!!!! I've gone back to work and Im feeling great!!!!!!!!

I think a lot of it has to do with all the walking I do at work.... and I really eat nothing but protien.... a friend told me it was like i was on the adtlins diet....

keep in mind...the pork chops are boneless, thin and baked in the oven in a soup.. the grilled hamburger is about the size of a 1/2 dollar.... I have a sleeve of steel I guess... I can not however eat grilled chicken any more... it comes right back up now.... I've always been an extremely picky eater and my doc said since I do not eat cheese, grits,oatmeal, and a whole long list of other foods that people eat... for me to try things I like in small amount... the puree stage was hell for me... all I ate was mashed pototoes and pudding....

The same thing is going on with me... Im able to eat more than what i thought i was able to at 4 weeks out..... I cam eat a whole baked pork chop and then a few bites of carrots...or even a whole grilled hamburger with out any problems at all... Im getting my protein for sure....

I will be 4 weeks post-op on friday.... yesterday my stomach started growling and gurgling... this is after I eat...before I eat... when ever.. there isnt a specific time when this happens... but the growling triggers my head to think Im hungry... I listened to my head one time and over ate... I started burping and had chest pain which I assumed was from me being over full.... anyone else have this problem?? what does it mean?? when my stomach growls I do have a "hunger" feeling....

No...im not taking anything...my doctor didn't prescribe me anything... This is a new thing in the past couple of days...

I was in the ER last night with dehydration.. I recieved fluids and felt a lot better... today I can barely get one bottle of water down... anyone else had this problem??

I have managed to drink 3 bottles of Water a day along with Capri Suns Roaring Waters at least 2-3 of them a day also... I do admit Im strung out on drinking regular water.. I was out shopping and got weak and dizzy and almost hit the floor... The ER doctor said I was dehydrated.... gave me fluids.. all my lab work was great he said.... I honestly think that I just got too hot for a minute... but the fluids made me feel so much better.... Today Ive gotten 1 bottle of water down and 3 capri suns... Im just blahhh today when it comes to drinking water I guess...

I can eat a whole bar... they are only 1.5 ounces... but I am close to full when Im done with the bar!

Im eating the Atkins cookies and cream bars for my protein....plus they are very yummy!

My surgery was June 29, 2012... My doctor said I could eat chicken and fish... my foods consist of baked chicken,broil flounder, chilli, mashed pototoes, baked Beans, fat free pudding, carrotts and well thats about it... I did have a hamburger cooked on the george foreman grill the size of a half-dollar... Im a picky eater and I'm about to go nuts.... sigh... Help!!!!!

all the foods i am eating are approved... The hambuger consisted of 4 bites at the most.... I do not think I can do purred foods again.... just can't...

oh and baked pototes....

ok.. so I'm 16 days post-op and I've had hardly no bowel movement in 3 days.. I've had just a little... Is this normal? up until then I was going 3-5 times a day.. now.. hardly nothing... anyone know why? will it get better?

Oh and no pain.. or discomfort either...

Im sure about the food... my last appointment he said the baked chicken and broiled flounder was ok... plus it helps with the Protein... I have noticed a lot of people are still on liquids and puree's.... but by the time I chew everything... its like puree.. plus, I use a baby spoon to eat with and I only eat 3-4 ounces at a time...

my doctor approved me to eat baked chicken and broiled fish along with mashed pototoes, chilli, pudding,carrots, and well thats basically all I eat... along with a protein bar....

is it acceptable? thin crust with cheese and beef?? just curious...

im 3weeks out... its more of atreat for myself when i hit 6 months ....just pre wondering ....

ugh... I woke feeling decent... ate..and now im so nauseated and burping... which I havent done since having my surgery...... ugh...
