Congrats!!!!! I know the feeling. I'm 2 months out and down 39 lbs. Last week the closet system in my walk in closet all came tumbling down from the weight of all the clothes. Needless to say I cleaned out my closet and got rid of 3/4 of my wardrobe. I filled three giant black garbage bags with clothes and I big bag of shoes. Not only do I feel lighter but so does my closet. Yayyyyy

Why don't you go back to full liquids for a week. Maybe that will jump start you. I've been grazing all week. Not so bad but not sticking to my 800 caleries. I've been going to 900 and a little over. I think Monday I will go on full liquid for a week. Why don't you join me???? Maria

Popcorn definitely popcorn!!!!!!

I'm reading his book.

I also agree with you Rootman

Cookeeeez, I agree with you.

I love this site and the people on it. So much honesty!!!!!

So many people on this site were sleeved in Mexico. I've seen prices between $4,500 to $7,000. Maybe that would be more affordable for you.

My surgeon said whenever I was ready and when it didn't hurt.

I think it's a side effect from the anesthesia and not the sleeve. I felt some depression even on my anti depressant but it passed within a couple of weeks. Tell mom to hang in there. Good luck!!!!

Hi Kris, I have Oxford Health Plan with United Health Care. When my doctor submitted all the paper work it all went well and I was approved within days. Good luck and let us know the outcome.

Great job!!!!!!

I'm from Lindenhurst (Suffolk County). My surgeon is Dr. Heather McMullen in Syosset.

That's what works for me also. Relaxing and not stressing because when I stress, I stall. Great pics. great job. keep up the good work.

Good to know!!!! Thanks for the info

Congrat to you all. Welcome to the losers side!!!!! The GI leak test is fine. You stuff you have to drink isn't too bad and it's just a couple of sips. It'll be fine.

tylenol pills are okay to take. I took extra strength tylenol when I was in pain or discomfort.

I only took pain meds in the hospital. Didn't take them when I got home. If I needed something, I took Tylenol.

What is the Warrior Dash????

I love all the names everyone is coming up with!!!!! I think I'll name mine slim.

No, it shouldn't be a problem for you because after wls you can't really eat that much and eventually you become disinterested in food.

@ Foxbins - Thanks and yes I'm on Omeprazole.

Thanks for that informations. You cleared up the question I had about stretching the stomach. Thanks, Maria

What is a PPI?

I was given Lovenox in the hospital and then post op 2 x a day for a week.
