Congrats on the new one. You will get back to pre baby fast. I know you can do it.

Just make healthy food choices and you will do awesome puravida. You're growing a human so you have to get bigger but once your pregnancy is over you'll get the excess weight off in no time.

I've only had it once thankfully. I made my chilli with to many spices and my body let me know that it wasn't healed enough for that yet. I haven't really been able to do much exercising because of my mother's death and then battling a terrible sinus infection. Hoping to get out and walk this weekend in the 50 degree weather and spend some time at the gym or the pool.

Congrats puravida. I'm so happy for you. I'm happy to be on stage 3 foods again. Scrambled eggs for breakfast:)

I hope everyone else is doing great too.

I'm officially on stage 3 foods!!!! I'm down 12 pounds since surgery. I'm happy and my doctor is very happy. I go back in a month instead of in 2 weeks like most of his patients. I think I'll try scrambled eggs for breakfast.

I am down 12 pounds since the 15th. I know the sleeve was a good idea. I also lost my mom on the 19th so I'm sure that has contributed to my loss also. This Christmas is hard but I'm sticking to the diet and trying to stay positive. Glad everyone else is doing good. Hang in there we will make it through the holidays.

Thanks everyone.

I'm not doing well on stage 2 foods right now. I have only been able to drink a little protein shake and some water most of the day. I have been stressed and devastated since Friday when I lost my mother during open heart surgery. I know she would yell at me for not trying to eat like I'm supposed to so I'm going to try to do better tomorrow.

Myssjones try drinking warm drinks or broths it helps the gas come out.

Mroth28 try a heading pad for the pain. After the lap band and now the sleeve my heating pad is my best friend. Helps with pain and with gas pain. Gas should be fine in a couple more days. Walking and heat really helps. Hang in there everyone we will make it through.

Headed home. I have only had very little pain, but gas bubbles are the worst. Can't wait for the rest to work its way out.

Hope your surgery is on time grandma 2 tweeties. Mine was delayed a hour and a half. Sleep is good right after surgery and when they get you up to sit in the chair will help get the gas up. Warm drinks help when allowed to.

Good luck to everyone having surgery today. I'm praying your pain is minimal like mine so far.

Davis glad to hear your doing well too.
