I got fired from my job 10 days before my surgery. I think they fired me because they thought I would be out... Discrimination=lawyer. Currently fighting just to keep my unemployment. Either way, I am going bonkers in the house. Looking for a job, spending the summer with my son, and wishing I was out more. I want to be working !!!!

The whole swallowing had me scared shitless last night cause of the posts in it. I had no problem with it... Thank goodness

I went to a support group meeting and was told that it is very common for over 70% of people that go back to any kind of soda regain a good portion of the weight they lost. I was an coke/ soda drinker and I have chosen not to go te flat diet soda route. I want to keep my weight off. I was willing to give up soda and candy to be healthier the rest of my life !!!

I am 2 months out also. Foods I eat Cottage cheese w/ sf strawberry jams and 2 strawberries cut up. Yummy chicken Fish- tuna or other Sausage eggs Wraps- i have to be careful sometimes the wrap gets caught Salad- just started Fruit Applesauce Hot dogs Pasta Rice Potatoes- baked, tater tots (3) Hamburger/turkey/ ground chicken burgers Cheese/ cheese and more cheese Popcorn Milk Can't eat Yogurt Scared to eat Anything high in sugar Steak Bread Fried food Munchin food-chips, chocolate, candy Candy, chips , soda and larger portions got me heavy to begin with. I always eat Protein first. Then mix vegetables and carbs. My portions are very small. My protein item is the biggest -3 oz Anything

Have not been on here for a little while, so sorry to hear about the issue, glad to hear you are ok, and that they found the issue. Speedy recovery prayers to you. Please keep us updated !!!

Wpsp. Minute maid makes a 15 calories pink lemonaide and a peach juice 15 calories. Yes they taste like sf drinks, but I have to change it up.

You look great!

You look great!!!!

24 lbs is good for first month. When I moved to regular food I introduced 1 new food per meal to see how it went. I can eat just about anything I want that is low sugar, low fat. I stick to Protein, an occasionally have carbs in small amounts . Just as an FYI I am 7 weeks post op. I recently hit a stall in weight loss, just had my monthly so that may have added to it, expected it to happen, heard it does for everyone. I find I struggle with Water intake more now too

An anyone tell me what they were instructed as far as calorie count, carb count and fat count should be per day. I am 7 weeks post op.

Be careful. I got dehydrated last week. What an awful experience.

Your hormones are going to be released and it causes a roller coaster effect emotionally. We are often used to being down in ourselves. My confidence is building back up. I understand the "no where to run " feeling and always used food to cope. I try to stay busy. Best of luck !

I am 6 weeks post op and feel very good about what I can eat and the process. I have gotten dehydrated and I have had food stuck in my throat. It's all a learning process. Nobody said this would be easy , I'd it was we wouldn't be here in the first place. Be patient , I will all come together

I got dehydrated last Friday. What an awful experience. Feel better !!!

Awesome job

Look up the CPT code for the surgery and then call the insurance company and ask them the requirements

Awesome

Less... I am from coopersburg pa

I thought about getting my highest weight on my palm below my thumb so when I picked up a fork or food I would see it. I want something but have not decided yet

In the first week or two it is like pudding. Will get regular soon

Drinking how liquid helped me alot. I had horrible gas pains for almost 3 weeks. The hot liquid helped me as soon as I drank it. It wasn't a cure all, but between that and walking it sure helped

That is the "pudding" as I call it. It lasted a little while . Maybe 2 weeks. I remember the first day I had a "normal" poop, I opened the bathroom door and yelled it through the house. Lmao. This to shall pass, you are all doing great. I am a month out and go about 7 times a week. Some days 1, and If I miss a day, then 2x the next day.

Thanks do much all !!

How sweet. You are doing great too, I look forward to losing what you have .

Thanks Don
