I can eat more at 9 weeks out for sure. I try to measure everything to make sure I don't over eat. If I don't measure I usually pay for it!

No stress test. I did have to have an EKG.

I'm 9 weeks out and 50 lbs down!

I have crazy curly hair and it did dry out even more after surgery. The Nexxus Therappe shampoo and conditioner have worked wonders! It also tamed the friz quite a bit.

I usually get cold when my T3 and T4 thyroid levels are off. I used to FREEZE before starting meds. Not too bad after surgery. We live in AZ and keep the air on 75.

Yep. That friggin muscle hurt SOOOOO BADDDD!!!! My surgeon says it is from a stitch thta gets pulled and is very common. It was the worst part of the whole thing. At 5 weeks it just went away suddenly. I woke up one day and it was gone.

The hospital I had does offer those classes in the support groups. Maybe you could look into thatm. You look great! Congratulations!

Good luck!

It is Insane. It is a home excercise program that is INTENSE

I used to have a problem, but it has gone away completely.

Top is 8 weeks out at 254, bottom is the day before surgery at 282. I don't have any pics of me at 300 starting weight. I seem to have lost my ass haha! [ATTACH]5376[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]5377[/ATTACH]

I saw my surgeon and NUT for my I week check up. Everything is great except I'm not getting enough calories. My NUT wants me at 900. Today I did it, but man I feel stuffed constantly! I am dowm 46 lbs!

I play basketball for 45 MINS 2-3 times a week. I do the treadmill and I do strength training.

My surgeons office actually told me to eat watermelon to help easee constipation. It is a natural colon cleanser. I am 7 weeks out and didn't have any problems with it, even at 5 weeks.

ROTFLMAO!

I started getting the runny nose and sneezing after surgery. It has lessened with the runny nose, but I still sneeze a lot when I get full.

That is right. I usually have a premier for breakfaast after the gym. I can't eat more that 1/4-1/2 cup of food at a time. Usually closer to 1/4 cup. I try for cottage cheese and tuna a lot for the protein but can't eat enough to get enough cals. Especially if I'm trying to get enough fluids. Drinking Water makes me very full for a long while. I don't really drink anything else except prottein when I have too because I'm so full from water.

How many calories are/were you able to consume per day at 7 weeks out?
