I'm in the Houston, tx area and I have a bunch of jeans, some shirts and dresses ranging in size from 22-18. Most of the jeans were hardly worn. I'd like to get something for the items because I paid a lot for them but I'm gonna sell them pretty cheap $5-$10 for jeans $10 for dresses(only have a couple) and maybe $3 for shirts. Email me if you're interested in taking a look at why I have! Email- blondechcky@yahoo.com

I use a heart rate monitor whenever I workout and it tells me exactly how much I burn.

I had the same when I would bend over I would fee really tight and if I did it too much the pain would last for a while. But I'm just under 3 weeks and no more problems like that. My port area gets a little sore when I lay different ways but that's it. I'm the toe to push myself too. I should be in tr mushy stage but I've been eating solids and chewing well all week with no issues. Everyone heals at different rates.
Good job on the 12lbs!

My nutritionist was very vague. They gave me a weekly plan for the first 4 weeks but only suggestions. No portion sizes or calorie goals. Right now I'm supposed to be in the mushy stage but I honestly don't see the point in sitting around eating all slider foods that don't satisfy me. I started eating boiled chicken and broccoli yesterday and just took tiny bites and chewed a lot and I've been fine. I'd just rather eat chicken then mashed potatoes so I'm just being careful and getting a lot of info from here.
My surgeon is really laid back (soda is ok, drinking with meals is ok...) which I love about him because I'm the type to do my own research rather than follow a strict meal plan.
I feel like I just need to find my right balance of calorie intake to lose the healthy way.

I'm having this issue too. When I eat how I'm supposed to I can only get to about a max of 600 calories before exercise. I had a "cheat day" and still only got up to about 1000 for the day before my exercise. I'm only about 2 weeks out but all last week I didn't lose at all. I kinda figured in the beginning if be losing fast and I seem to be stuck
I can't tell if its because I'm eating too few calories or what. Is there a way to figure out your perfect number? I'm terrified to start eating more and gain, but that seems like the only way to start losing. This stuff is hard.

That sounds terrible. I'm glad you decided to share your story so that people know what signs to look for on what is not normal. I feel like I was being a baby now after hearing that. Hope all goes well from here on out!

Yea the first week is really hard but the second is s breeze. I was working out a lot so I lost 18lbs on the pre op diet. Enjoy it while you can the week after surgery is rough and you need to be prepared for that. I think the pre op diet really gets you conditioned to listening to your body and your hunger.
It will all be worth it in the end!

I didn't have a hernia repair but I've always had a pretty weak stomach. Maybe that's part of it. I guess everyone just a heals differently. This was my first surgery and even though unheard experiences on here I think you never really know what to expect.
I know I need to get some Protein, but I'm not gonna lie it is kinda nice being grossed out by the though of food right now. Much better than craving!

That is so awesome! I'm so happy for you! I can't believe how well you're doing, I can't wait to be at that point in my journey!

I keep hearing kt will come back. That also scares me because I'm already a little paranoid about eating with this band. I worry about eating the wrong things and getting stuck.

Thank you! I'm so excited for this journey. I refuse for this to fail like all the other diets. If I'm going through all this pain it will all be worth it!

Yea I have the breathing thing and I've been using it. It was getting to the point where I couldn't breathe unless I coughed and got it up. It was extremely painful but I feel better now. No more wheezing.

I'm sitting in pre op right now. Just a few minutes away from surgery!

I just had surgery today too. Not really in pain just soreness. Only pain I have is in my back and it's a muscle pain that I already had. I don't feel any of the gas pains really. Glad to hear you're doing so well.
