  1. 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.
  2. I was given Lovenox in the hospital and then post op 2 x a day for a week.
  3. Have you tried Truvia? It taste just like sugar and it's natural.
  4. yeah good for you. great job!!!!
  5. I had pain for weeks on both my sides but mainly the left side. It would come and last for days then go away for a day or two then come back. My surgeon told me she had to stitch up some muscles and that was it. The more active I became (walking) the more the pain would come back until finally healed and is gone for good. Good luck!!!!!
  6. Hmmmm. So far have not found that anything tastes different. It still tastes the same to me. I wish cakes, cookies, candy, chocolate and chips tasted disgusting to me, but no such luck!!!!!
  7. I'm 8 weeks out and I've had thin crust pizza twice already. No problems!!!!
  8. yes, I had chest pain and upper back pain (between my shoulders) and it was all gas. It broke up after a few days. Try taking some Gas X and see if it helps.
  9. If your leg aches, I would call the doctor.
  10. I'm 7 weeks out and really can't chug in great quantity. Little chugs LOL
  11. Yes, I know what you meant. I'm feeling great. I'm so thankful that I didn't donate my smaller size clothes because that's what I'm wearing now. I am going to donate my larger clothes that I was wearing pre surgery because I never want to wear them again. I started out at 271 lbs and am now 236 lbs. Oops that's 35 lbs. My goal is 150 lbs. so 86lbs to go. I'm averaging about 1/2 lb a day and am loving it.
  12. It's definitely worth it. I'm 7 weeks out and down 36 lbs. Good Luck!
  13. I had two c-sections and that wasn't so bad. VSG wasn't that bad either. I'm on the fence!!!!!!
  14. it sounds fine to me. very much like my pre op diet. I did have some protein shakes though. Your nutritionist must that's enough protein. They mainly want to shrink the fat in your liver to make the surgery a little easier for them. The protein shakes should come full force in the two weeks post op. Good Luck.
