  1. My doc said I would no longer feel hunger. He said that my body will feel weak if I'm not getting enough to eat but the "hunger" I'm feeling is just in my head
  2. Two days after my surgery. I'm down 29 pounds but feel bloated because I'm about to start again. I think I might reach my 30 pound goal!!!! I stay around 500 calories per day and I'm about to start back to my gym. My kids keep me busy anyway lol. My BMI was 38ish before surgery
  3. My doc considers shakes a "fluid" and to count that as part of my 64oz. I use pure protein from Walmart. It has 23g of protein and only 120 calories
  4. Because the carbonation. Your new Tummy is tiny and you will experience pain and gas. I drink crystal light and diet tea. Don't take a chance because I've heard it hurts
  5. My bariatric nurse said this- If you love Mexican food...order chicken fajitas. Don't eat the tortillas and dip your fork into the sour cream and guacamole instead of pouring it all over the chicken. She said to do the same with salad dressing.
  6. I finally at 27 pounds lost! My goal is 30 for my first month....I have until the 12th
  7. I actually bought a snuggle lol! I need to invest in a heated blanket because I froze all night. It gets hard to sleep.
  8. Honestly...I just order water and enjoy conversation with whomever I'm with
  9. I take nasty powder from my doc. Dr Boyce Knoxville tn...you can order it. It takes like typical vitimans. It's much better than a multivitamin
  10. I quit smoking 2 1/2 years ago.....I was a pack a day smoker and quit cold turkey. If I can do it...you can do it. Think about your health. Why have this surgery and continue to kill yourself? Aren't you doin this surgery to get healthy?
  11. Does your doc have a nurse line that's available 24/7???
  12. I was always hot before. My poor kids sweat at night and I freeze. I used to keep the house at 68 and now I keep it at 72
  13. Wish I had the money for cosmetic surgery
  14. Anybody have this problem???!!!!!!
  15. I'm 3 weeks out and I'm cold ALL THE TIME!!!!!!
  16. 1) low self esteem from gaining all this weight! (I used to be thin) 2) not being about to shop at my fav clothing stores. Lane Bryant is too expensive lol! 3) feeling embarrassed to have sex with my hubby 4) wearing a bathing suit at the beach and never wearin shorts because I try to cover everything! 5) not being able to run and play with my kids!!!!!!
  17. I have always had pain during intercourse. It's still awesome..but it's lower abdominal pain. I haven't had sex yet but I'm sure I'll still experience the same pain.
  18. Do you ever feel hungry? I feel empty at times and I must be getting it confused with actual hunger pangs that are caused by hormones.
  19. PURE PROTEIN shakes from Walmart!!!!! It is 12oz it contains 23g of protein and only 120 calories! I drink one for breakfast and one at night. I also eat one can of cream of cheddar soup and mix skim milk with it...the shakes are awesome and inexpensive..around $2 per shake
