  1. I just had my sleeve but I've had 3 girls before the sleeve. If you are nursing that helps. Also as soon as you can start working out and wear a girdle to tighten your stomach area while its healing. That's what I did anyway. Focus (I know you do) on that cutie and you won't think.so much about the food. Enjoy her while she's little the time passes so fast.
  2. New grandmother how are you dealing with it. I've been putting warm.clothes and caster oil on them for the swelling until it pops. Then another one comes in like a day in a different spot.
  3. I'm not sure. I'll find out tomorrow I guess. Once one goes away another one comes. This one feels like 7 marbles in a row.
  4. When I went for my follow up my Dr said they would go away and to follow up with my primary if the got worse. I'm going to my primary tomorrow. It's so bad I'm having a hard time walking. My legs have never been big but the are on my inner thigh area. When I've lost weight in the past I never had this. I can't work out it hurts to walk it even hurts to sit.
  5. What a cutie. Congratulations. I wish you and your family the best.
  6. I'm so Sorry this stupid phone. I meant to say biotin not booting.
  7. I've never had one in my life and now I keep getting them since about a week out of surgery. I started to take the biotin 2xs a day after surgery. It's so painful. I hated to ask because I was embarrassed but its just getting worse. I have an appt tomorrow with my primary thought I would throw it out there. You guys usually have the answers. I googled it but not much info.
  8. Does anyone know how long we have to wait to get one? I have one that I really regret. I got it when I was 18 and dumb. Now that I can see it I need to get something done to it. I don't want anymore just to get this stupid thing fixed. The only good thing that came from it is that I have girls and non of them want a tattoo because of how stupid I was.
  9. It was only 1strip I cut it really small and took my time. Once I heard the gurgling I stopped eating. Now I put my timer for 45min so I can drink. I'm finding it easier at work than at home.
  10. This is my first time back to work and ordering with everyone. I felt really good being able to join in and not feel like I am so restricted. I just chose healthy and ate a small portion. We can get back to normal. This was a huge salad. I will be 7 weeks tomorrow. This is what I ordered Grilled Chick Salad w/ff feta This is what I ate from that. It took 35 min to eat.
  11. I have been having Ice coffee every morning for the past 2 weeks. It helps me with my energy and gets everything moving (if you know what I mean) I haven't had to take the miralax or anything. I love it my NUT and DR said no problems just drink plenty of water through the day.
  12. hope for a speedy recovery...
  13. You and I are almost the same. Sw 242lb 9/5 Today 215 I'm ok with it. Just think your skin is having time to catch up with your weight loss. I'm going to start to go hard at the gym this week. Let's see if that works if not I'm ok I'm just a slow looser.
  14. When did you start getting rid of your clothes? Sleeved 9/5 down 2 sizes but still afraid of letting go. Thinking about all the times I failed and want to hold on just in case.
  15. I'm in too. First one. 242 sw sleeved 9/5 218 cw I'll try for 205. I hope I'm nut setting myself up.
  16. It did get better. I drank 2 16oz this morning and I'm on my 3rd. I hope it doesn't come back. I did go back to work yesterday for the first time maybe I didn't drink as much as I usually do. I don't have any pain at all. thanks for asking.
  17. I went back to work yesterday and I was so worried about it. I only told my boss and my close co-worker. I work in an office with about 25 people. Everyone was so happy to see me and asked how I was feeling but not one person asked what I had done. I got off easy. They did notice the weight loss so maybe they figured it out. Either way I'm just saying I feel better and thanks for your concern and leave it at that. I did decide that if anyone asked what was wrong I will say because rumors start but I'll wait until they ask. Gives everyone something to talk about for a while.
  18. It's the gas. Walk as much as you can..
  19. I keep getting these shooting pains in my lower right side of my back. Please tell me I just slept wrong. I googled it and and some of the problems are dehydration and kidney stones. Any have this? I was six weeks out yesterday. I thougt I was drinking plenty of water. I get in usually 60- 80oz of water a day and that doesn't count the protein shakes and other things that include liquid. I had my eggs this morning so I'm waiting to drink. I will just drink all day and see if it goes away..
  20. Wow you are doing great.
  21. I'm 6 weeks out tomorrow. I'm so hungry. I'm getting my protein and I managed to get between 600&700 cal a day but i feel like I could eat everything. I'm going back to work tomorrow and I'm Freaking out. I'm also in another stall.
  22. I hope this round takes care if it for you. It would be a shame if they don't do it. Check around your area, if there is another program. I wish you the best.
  23. I'm not sure but I tested positive then took.the antibiotics and tested positive again they just said it was not a problem. They made me take the antibiotics right up till the day of surgery and gave me more in my iv. I hope that killed it. I was nervous too but what's done is done. I hope I don't have problems in the future. I haven't been re- tested since surgery 9/5 so I guess they aren't concerned.
  24. I was positive and they did the surgery anyway.
