I did too, you will be fine. I agree with Ortega though, don't over do it! Once a day or less with something is modest. My nut said I could have a 1/4 cup of almonds once a day for the first three days if I needed to chew something. Totally helped me curve my cravings. Good luck, you can do it!

Highest 257 Surgery weight 239 9/25 Current 188 Valentines goal 175 This is actually my goal for my 40th birthday on the 17th but if I can there by the 14th, better yet! Lets do this!

Did "Aunt Flo" visit yet? I didn't start losing post op until after my period.

Why no calcium with iron?

No clue since I can't see what's going on. Try logging back in. What user name did you choose?

It's easy, add me if you like.

Www.myfitnesspal.com. It's a free app and website where you can track your food, exercise and weight loss. Your 'friends' can post encouragement to your posts on there. Takes a little bit of tweaking for our Protein requirements but its fun. There are android apps, apple apps and a website.

Zone perfect is the protein bar I like. Double chocolate. Tried a bunch and only one I found to be decent.

Target and Walmart sell individual bats so you can try a bunch of different ones.

Come to think of it, my surgery was done on an incline. My feet had to be on a ledge before I went to sleep. My lowest scar is in line with mt belly button and the highest sits right where my bra sits. Really doesn't sound right that scar tissue from a c- section would intrude. I agree, see legal advice. Can't hurt. Best of luck. These surgeons have o learn to be responsible for their actions.

Alpine punch and I think passion fruit are my favorite. Nectar makes a fantastic powder that's called Fuzzy Naval that s really thin and tastes like orange juice. Tried most of the other nectar a with no luck on yummy ones. BJs bariatric carries sample packs of nectar. Good luck on finding one that works for you.

I had two c- sections most recently in January 2009 less than 4 years prior to my WLS. My doctor never even mentioned that it might cause complications. I just think everybody is different.

Happy 3 months and 1 day September 25th sleevers! Can you believe it's been 3 months already? Made my Christmas goal of 189 and total of 68 pounds down. Now onto 175 for my 40th birthday in mid February. Happy new year and you everyone!

I made it! 189.6! I usually weigh myself at night and decided to jump on the scale this morning. Woo hoo! Now onto my goal of 175 for my 40th birthday in February.

Looking good! Keep it up!

That's my goal too. Been stuck at 191 for a few days. I'll be happy with 189.9 if I can get there.

Current, 191.6. So close to to Christmas goal of 189. Oh please, oh please, oh please!

I second guessed myself all the way through rolling myself into the operating room. I don't think I've met anyone who hasn't had some sort of second thoughts about it.

I had my first glass at about 4 weeks out and I did fine. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending how you look at it) my sleeve is very tolerant of a lot. Everybody is different. I look at it this way, I need to learn how to enjoy everything in moderation. I've denied myself food, drink, etc in the past just to go overboard at a later time. Having a glass of wine on occasion to me is learning how to enjoy in moderation.

Hello fellow September 25th sleevers! How is everyone doing? I'm doing pretty Good. Hit onederland last week and am down 62 pounds total. Hope to hit 189 by Christmas and 175 by my 40th birthday in February. Can't wait to hear How you all are doing!

Update: 12/7/12 196.6 Maybe I should revise my goal!

At 6 weeks out I went to a tri-annual gathering with two other families. One family knew about the surgery, the other family did not. I talked, I nibbled, had a glass of wine and the "unknowing" family never even questions why I wasn't packing it away like I used to. I was a little dissappointed that they didn't notice my almost 50lb weight loss but at least I didn't have to explain myself to them! I also went on a Disney vacation at 39 days out and had a great time. Yes, I missed the Mickey Mouse ice cream but I survived and had a great trip. Life will resume and will be better than ever!
