  1. When can I have it? 6 days postop now
  2. Go you!!! I lost 8 since Monday. So amazing. I love how a half a can of soup makes me full. Excited for grits today!!!
  3. Same here but after 3 days out sick I am required to do short term disability insurance and fmla. I wanted to take 4 weeks bc I had the time but my doctor only approved 2 weeks.
  4. I told mine where I hid the cheese Boy Scout popcorn I forgot to eat since he has been so good.
  5. Yeah like do they have enough junk food commercials. No wonder I ate too much.
  6. Post op 6 days and doing well so far. What can cause a leak? Do I need to be careful bending, etc. Can food cause a leak? Trying to not be over confident with my comfort.
  7. Sounds like a must read for me. I can't wait to heal and eat normal but am afraid I will push it.
  8. Can eating a certain food cause a leak?
  9. Me too!! I haven't yet. I was thrilled to eat a half a can of Soup and be full. Sleeved the 15th. Did the cheese puffs make you sick? I am dying for a little snack.
  10. I love my veneers thankfully insurance covered them. Break a tooth! Ha
  11. I am a week out and never threw up not even the gross chalky stuff. I felt like it once but didn't.
  12. I am 5 days post op. is my stomach area swollen? It seems a little puffier than the rest of me
  13. I had it tonight and was fine chewed them. I am 5 days postop too. I was supposed to wait til Monday but I couldn't take the liquids anymore. When can I eat crackers?? Anyone know.
  14. Sleeved Monday and my back pain is worse than the surgery site pain!!! My hubby treated me to a massage. Any tips before I go? Other than pointing out the surgery spot?
  15. I wish I could be like ppl who don't need it. It has been a week postop and I fit into my smallest jeans almost. Size 14 Ann Klein and 16 Calvin Klein. This was as far as I ever got in years. Only a week postop and I know I will see size 10 again. That is all I want. I I lose more great. Knowing I will get there ... No regrets. I have an eating problem and this is what I needed to do to control it.
  16. Eat up! Just don't kill the diet completely. I am almost a week postop and glad I ate my favs. I realized that some things just didn't taste as good as they once did. You can't eat for a bit enjoy and push the plate when you are full.
  17. Jealous!! I want to breakout the grits but if it doesn't go it will set me back more. Carrying pudding cups and a spoon to my appt Monday!!
  18. I did drop 34 lbs since I started the whole process. Some good news!
