I did 7 weeks after my csection! You should be fine 3 months out.

There's only so many different ways you can say the exact same thing! We get it! No one said continue to eat lasagna. What's done is done. She survived so now we look to the future! I wish I didn't get notifications on my phone lol!

I'll always be bigger than my husband's skinny ass! He's like 150 pounds!

And I'll eat my taco without tortilla. Shrimp diced tomatoes and ava ado with cilantro, cumin and smoked paprika Greek yogurt with lime sounds yummy!

4 months?!? Wahhh! Before surgery I ate spinach daily. Thanks for the replies. I'll look for other veggies.

I really want some sauteed spinach! I'm six weeks out. No nutritionist and had surgery in Mexico. When is it safe to eat cooked greens like kale and spinach? Also, I really want a fish or shrimp taco! What about corn tortillas? (I'm making my grocery list haha). I really don't want to eat low carb. It's never been successful for me and I don't feel good or normal without carbs. When did everyone start adding carbs back into your diet? I know white flour, rice, Pasta is no bueno. I started the habit of eating whole grains before surgery.

I never drink without a straw. I did drink straight from a cup one day and it was uncomfortable for me.

lwilliam you are gorgeous! Stop that! I won't miss my ankles always popping Shopping in plus size Not being able to buy cute underwear Lack of sex drive Fatigue Not being able to do the things I want physically And of course my double chin!

I did the same thing! I have since banned chocolate chip cookies from my house because they are my very favorite! You're going to have slip ups, you just gotta keep moving forward! Good luck!

It's kind of hard to misconstrue a tone when you're being called an idiot or ignorant just because you disagree. It's rude in any tone.

For me personally, there is a right way and a wrong way of speaking to other individuals. One is effective and one is not. If someone is rude, acts like they are better than me, or talks to me like an idiot, I don't respond. I don't know about you, but that's just me. "Sugar coating" has nothing to do with it. All you have to say is, if you do this, this may happen. When you say, "I can't believe you would do such a thing. How ridiculous! You should know better! You aren't ready for this surgery, get counseling because your insides are going to explode! that form of communication is ineffective and the person you are talking to is going to shut down. How does this help? It doesn't. That's all I'm going to contribute to this thread from here on out.

You are obviously more worried about getting your point across than being supportive. You made your point, we get it, no need to carry on. Your just being argumentative and that's when people stop listening to you. No ignorance on my part. Nice try though.

Bahaha, comparing killing someone to someone taking a bite of lasagna! This thread is getting way out of hand and Fishy I think you are far too invested.

I have a gym membership but never go! I do zumba on the Wii and Wii Fit for yoga. I also have a Jillian Michaels DVD that kicks my butt! I find I am more successful working out at home. Although I would love to get out of the house, I just don't have time!

Whoops! Ignore the coordinator part I guess I was remembering another post. But you did come here for support!

I don't agree that she is in dire need of help or is risking her life over one bite of lasagna. The first couple of weeks are hard. Especially if you have a family to cook for. I cook for my family every night and those first few weeks were difficult. One time, I took a bite of Jambalaya and spit it out (gross!) Another time I ate mashed potatoes while on clear liquids. You are an adult who doesn't need scolding. You knew you shouldn't have done that and even called your coordinator. Seems like you took responsibility for your actions. Don't let these people make you feel stupid over one bite. We are ALL here because of issues with food!

I was not in a lot of pain at all. I was up and moving immediately after surgery. By the time I came home, I was looking after my 7 wk old and 4 yr old boys.

I didn't feel normal until about week 3. You will be fine just yake it one day at a time!

I'm only six weeks out but I think having a passion for cooking will help you. Don't eat processed/precooked junk! You want to feed your body healthy food with nutrition! If it's empty calories, don't eat it. The surgery has helped me learn to eat to live not live to eat. I cook all of my food so I know exactly what's in it. I wouldn't prepare too much before surgery because sometimes your taste buds change and at first you really can't eat a whole lot (1/4 cup for me).

When the scabs fall off is what my surgeon said.

I do the same as Delta girl. I weigh myself every morning but only track Sundays. Even though it seems tje scale doesn't move, my Sunday weight is always lower than the previous week.

I ate a chocolate chip cookie last night. A big one. 170 calories big! The biggest thing we have to worry about is slipping back into old habits. Just like when a smoker quits smoking and has just one cigarette and eventually becomes a smoker again!

I tried again last night and I'm 6 weeks out. It feels really weird to me like a burning tingling sensation through my whole mid section. I was only able to drink half a glass before feeling tipsy. Weird!

I had a glass 2 weeks out (Thanksgiving ) it didn't feel good at all!

Mine did the same thing 3 weeks out. I watched for infection, kept it clean, and only cover it when I'm at work since I'm a hairstylist. Do not put any ointment or cream on it unless your doctor advises because it can trap in bacteria. It takes weeks to heal but it's healing from the inside out. Mine were deeper than yous and is finally starting to close 6 wks out.
