Drinking with meals is number one for me , I would like some pop too Its still worth it

For the time being you can take tums 3-4 depending on the package. I use Zantac 150 almost daily to stop the burning. Call your Doc but the tums will stop in now if you take it till you can get some from your physician. I was put on an acid blocker twice a day for the first ten days after surgery. hope you feel better

I hope my feet get smaller

Piedras negras Mexico with DR.Guillermo Alvarez, Endobariatrics.com. He also has a facebook account were you can view over 100 photos of before and afters. I paid 8700 + plane ticket from Michigan 475. Everything went smoothly , The drive back was ruff because of the surgery, besides that everything went well. Im currently 8 weeks out and have lost 45 lbs I feel great and am so happy at all the complements I get. The scars are very small and fading. I'm so happy I finally did it I have been also trying to lose weight for so long. The best part that Im having a hard time grasping is that I will never be Morbidly obese again. Unless I try really hard LOL

At 288 I went on a liquid diet for ten days and lost 13lbs. the following is what I was allowed: Black coffee tea/ice tea SF LOW or NO fruit juices Jello sugar free water gatorade sports drink SF crystal light slimfast low carbshakes atkins advantage shakes beef,vegtable,or chicken broth propel water SF Any 100%whey protein powder with water or skim milk popsicles SF Carnation instant breakfast SF made with skim milk Fat free creamed soups If you do this plus a little exercise not too much you might be able to do it Hope this helps got it right out of the book my doc gave me Good luck:)

I was taking viibryd for anxiety and depression I tapered off of it though I have not noticed anything different yet.

Wow you are amazing great job

lol the other day I measured out 3 slices of turkey 1 tbls mayo 1 slice of bread. I started to eat it but could not finish it so I left it on the table to take a break and finish it in a little. I made my husband 2 chicken subs for dinner he eats them then eats that piece that I had measured and wanted to finish! I was soo pisssed!!! It is very frustrating with my kids also I feed them first then sit to eat my food and they are like oooh what are you eating mommy can I have some? YOU DONT EVEN LIKE BOILED EGGS! but if im eating it they want it. I wish I had my own fridge with a lock!

Wow that sounds great congrats to the both of you

Im not sure how far out you are but progresso has allot of different kids of soups you can eat as is or blend in the blender. I like the lentil soup it tastes good, I add lemon ,salt and dried onion flakes and microwave it.

I'm 7 weeks out . I take in 700-900 calories a day. On most days I get in 800 calories,

Go to the dollar store and get 2 pregnancy tests, take one tomorrow morning in a week from now if you still didnt get your period take the second. Good luck

I found this website called Hungry-girl.com, she has tons of recipes online for brownies , cheese cake and some tasty foods made with about half the calories it would normally be. I know she has a show I just didnt know there was a website. Check it out

Oh yah Love that show its AWESOME:)

when I got sick i didnt want to eat so I just made sure my fuids were in and drank chicken broth. Hope you feel btter

I know it's physically impossible for me to stop loosing weight at this juncture. I think that this is a very good point! Afte having this surgery it is almost impossible not to lose weight hang in there the number will change. weight your self once a week instead of everyday that might help

Put the scale away!!! it will drive you to insanity I went through the same thing and I was upset and a little down because I wasnt losing as fast as I wanted to BUT eventually the scale moved It just takes time, I remind my self that this is not a diet like the ones in the past, theres only one way the scale is moving and thats down baby! I would recomend that you measure your body neck,upper arms,lower arms , chest, waist, hips , booty , theighs, calf and go by that too (once a month). sometimes the scale may not move but inches are coming off keep up the good work and good luck.

Woooohooooo congradulation you did it Awesome

Don't take them as others have posted your not suppose to take anything before your surgery, But if you are desperate it wouldnt hurt to call the surgeon and ask Hang in there you can do this

I stalled at 250 also it will pass be patient your body is adjusting. I was not getting enough calories in when I increased them or hit my daily mark of 800 It broke and I lost weight again. Also water is very important , make sure you get all that in. Oh and I was constipated! If your not going get a laxative to help. Keep up the great work

LMAO omg that made my day:)

I can't wait to not think about how I look anymore I can't wait to not have to pull my pants up over my muffin top when I stand up I can't wait to wear heels comfortably

Don't give up you have an amaizing tool to beat this! Throw out everything your not suppose to have, thats what I do in my house. If its not there I dont even think about it. If you crave sweets try pudding thats sugar free. If you want salty pringles has 0 fat chips that are 16 crisps for 120 calories BUT dont eat these everyday. As everyone else said protein first Eggs,turkey,chicken,fish,tuna...Drink your water or you will think your hungry but its just thirst. And if you are always hungry it may be acid, take an antiacid. You can do this! Go to you tube and search before and after vsg surgery that always helps me keep my eyes on the prize. Stay strong you git this

Wow I forgoot about this now Im 246

I also take out 4 bottles of water each is 16.9oz for grand total of 67 oz and tell myself they have to be done by the end of the day! Dehydration is very scary, I was hospitalized for it on day 5 after surgery. Keeping the bottle in your hand is the best for me other wise I will forget it .
