No you made a very broad statement on anyone who has so much as a drink. And it's not illegal everywhere.

I don't think it's that bad. Sorry I haven't lost enough to have loose skin.

I couldn't DISagree more. If you are doing these EVERYDAY then yes. But if it's occasionally no. I drink once a year at a Christmas party. And I drink to get drunk. So based on your theory I am an alcoholic by getting drunk once a year. Best head off here and google my nearest AA meeting.

I'm in a stall. The scale isnt moving. I'll be 7 weeks tues. have lost 47lbs. But nothing in a week. I did lose 3 inches on my waist though. With thanksgiving in Thursday I'm concerned about the scale. But at least turkey is Protein lol

It's so sexy right? I also get the sniffles when I'm full. I'm going to be a hot date when I start dating again lol

This. 100%. Lol.

It's considered liquid. I usually waited 15 just because I felt "full" after.

And I clearly type way to slow on this phone as there are a half dozen posts since I started. Lol

I do not use drugs in any form...I'm just not that person. However I was reading the discussion and wanted to say there is no proven fact marijuana does or does not kill brain cells. I have my BA in medical science, one of my main studies has been chromosone research. One of the last studies I did was the effects drugs have on your body and brain. With that said.... Marijuana's active ingredient is THC (much longer name I wouldnt be able to spell out using my iphone keypad). THC is what makes you "high" it will bind with certain receptors in your brain and interferes with normal brain function. Thus the feeling you/some get of being off balance, sleeping, hungry etc etc. However THC does become inactive. It does not "kill" brain cells. It temporarily alters them. If you (you being a blanketed term) did full research you would know the entire idea of "killing brain cells" started with a compaign to end teen drug use. It did not start in the medical field. I'd also like to say Pinky's ex husband didnt sit on his behind smoking all day because of weed, he did so because he was lazy. In the end its your body and you can do as you see fit with it.

Caffeine and full exercise at 6 weeks (by caffeine I mean coffee). I don't smoke anything so never thought to ask. I can have a alcohol as well but haven't tried. I'll probably have my first drink later on December at my work Xmas party.

I was told I could take cold medicine in the liquid form when I got sick at 5 weeks out. Well never again and when I saw my dr I told him he's lucky I didn't punch him lol. It burned so bad. I took liquid cold and flu by Tylenol. I switched to Tylenol cold and flu in pill form. I know there are some company's that make the meds that have dissolvable strips but couldn't tell you who. Good luck. Hope you feel better soon

Popcorn is allowed by my dr and nut within moderation. I don't eat it though because I don't like it. I'd ask your dr what his thoughts are

I hated this. It felt like every commercial was good and every show I watched they were eating. I had to turn the tv off for about a week and just read because it was Driving me crazy. It will pass and remember you will be able to eat again.

That's what I do with co workers. But most of them are so clingy and won't move back. Lol. I am always popping altoids and that works wonders

Mine are still noticeable. I put cream on them everyday. It took my scares from my gall bladder removal a couple months to fade. Now you can't see them unless you search. And my c section scar is barely there.

Fatty liver is normal when you are overweight. As you lose that will go away. My spleen was removed so I'm not sure about that.

Not at my incision sites but all over the rest of me. I looked like I was in a really bad fight. Lol

I experience the same thing. Almost 7 weeks out and still dealing. I have a little travel kit in my purse (tooth brush, tooth paste and mouthwash). I use it at work 3 times a day at least. Thankfully I work on the phones so I don't have to deal with my customers face to face. Can't wait till this goes away. And I ask my doc. He said your stomach was cut and is healing, that in itself will cause a smell.

That hostess won't be around for long? Lol. I LOVE their orange cupcakes. One of my biggest down falls in my pre sleeve days. Every time I walk past them in the store, I cry a little inside. Now they won't be tempting me from the shelf much longer. Those pesky, yet oh so yummy treats. ....I do however feel terrible for all of the people who will lose their jobs and pray they will find something quickly.

Your stomach can and will stretch. It's a muscle. However it wouldn't happen over a short time of a vacation. You gained weight from bad food choices not from stomach size.

Mentally I'm still the same. I want to eat but I can't eat. Emotionally also the same and it's worse by not being able to when I want. BUT then I remember the nearly 50 lbs I've lost in 6 1/2 weeks. And the clothes I'll be able to buy, the more time I will be able to run around with my daughter I am the same person just with a smaller stomach. I will be starting therapy for my food issues amongst other things next week.
