  1. Sending lots of prayers your way. Maybe Coumadin or Lovenox? Hang in there.
  2. I just posted about this!!! I know I'm eating way less than before, only 200-300 calories for a whole meal but I'm wondering how I can eat so much. Everyone else seems to hardly eat at all.
  3. I went thru this too. It does get better. Ice cold water and watered down Crystal Light were my savior.
  4. I find most days I eat around like 700 calories but on days I work double shifts I'm up for like 20 hours straight and eat more like 1000. It sounds like that's way too much. Meanwhile it's way less than I was eating before and it's healthy food and those 1000 cal days I get well over 80g protein. Am I broken?
  5. A slider sized cheeseburger no bun with some pickles, onion and ketchup. And an olive.
  6. I have to roll all my jeans at the waist or else the crotch hangs halfway to my knees lol!
  7. In retrospect....ABSOLUTELY. And as a bonus, now I get to spend the last year of my twenties getting my life and living by myself and single for the first time ever. It's like finally claiming my independence.
  8. I'm one of the singles too. My now ex fiancé broke it off in March, exactly 6 months before the day we were to get married. Nice huh? Said he felt pushed into our engagement...but I don't recall holding a gun to his head and making him buy the ring. We were together 4 years, engaged and living together for 2. He was completely not supportive about my RNY anyway. Was afraid I'd get hot and leave him. Ridiculous.
  9. Check with your doctor. I had pain after eating/drinking anything and ended up vomiting daily. I had scar tissue and a stricture. Once both were taken care of, I have had no issues since. My doctor said 3 weeks is usually when scar tissue shows up and causes a problem.
  10. I'm on the other side south of the city. Good luck! What hospital and surgeon?
  11. I had to for 4 weeks. I have a blood clotting disorder.
  12. I had a few ounces of grilled chicken, few bites of a baked potato, and a few cherry tomatoes with Italian dressing.
  13. Only rule I was given was not to drink during or for twenty minutes after. Sometimes I need a sip so my mouth isn't like a desert tho.
  14. Ate some leftover chicken. Was on the dry side. I feel like I'm going to die.
  15. Luckily I paid $0 because I already met my deductible.
  16. Same here. I wake up rested. No headaches. Don't wake up to pee eighteen times.
  17. I can sleep thru the night like a rock without my CPAP!!!
  18. Mine was $12,500 give or take.
  19. They're having "food night" tonight at work. I ate a few crackers with cheese and pepperoni and some ham but no bread. But there's a cake. And a giant chocolate chip cookie. And banana pudding. And they're making me sad. This is the first time I've wanted to cheat. Ugh.
  20. These pills are HUGE. Terrify me.
  21. Been stuck at 241.2 all week. Wah! I'm .2 lbs away from 30 lbs total since my surgery six weeks ago yesterday.
