I've been putting vitamin e oil on mine

Sounds like you need a muscle relaxer to feel better at home. Don't be a martyr! If you are uncomfortable, say something !!! That's why there is medicine! Keep in touch

Sugar free Popsicles quench my thirst!! I have 2-3 a day! I love them

Trying to stay awake to hear

And hummus

Yes I'm 5 weeks in and I drink but don't chug bc of the air - but just drink normal - you can use a straw - my doctor said its fine - carry a bottle w you- I'm a huge fan on crystal light peach iced tea of green tea peach mango - take your drink everywhere - you'd be surprised his much more you drink. Treat yourself to s fun tumbler !!

Prayers are on your way

Ask for pain pills so you can settle and get stable!

You may need a GI- calm down

Be careful with antidepressants though bc some block fat receptors and are metabolism blockers-

Yes I have a before pic the day of surgery - I look at it now and I was so puffy and bloated - thank you for caring and your kind words - I have a few months for the after or progress pic though!

I'm 32.5 lbs down and I still sweat like crazy. I getting my iron regulated because it was low but I was a sweater before and still am. I can't wait for it to stop!!!! - it kind of gets embarrassing when I'm in stores, teaching, in the grocery store etc.

How far along are you

I had acidic erosions to my duoduem- the beginning portion of you small intestine from your stomach due to taking ibuprofen. The doctor put me on Prilosec

Thank you for your encouragement . Yes during the holidays, I started week 2 (strained cream of chicken) the day my family was eating a 16 lb prime rib!

The most important thing right is protein - I was told make sure you get your protein in before anything - FYI cottage cheese is High in protein like crazy 12 grams per serving

After my 3rd week post op, I started feeling upset that I wished the weight would come off quicker. But I lost 32.5 lbs in 1 month exactly from my surgery date on December 17, but I guess my breakdown was that I'm going through so much, I'm working so hard at my new me, I felt like I was not noticing an "amazing change" and other people haven't notice or just don't compliment. I was thinking I'm being selfish and psycho about it since, I have been just trying harder with this diet because it takes time. ( I wish the weight disappears instantly) Another hypersensitive note: I'm feeling a difference now 2 weeks later from my breakdown. The compliments are here and there and the attention feels great. The weight loss isn't for other people but everyone deserves the attention and compliments on your performance.

My pain was from the incision were my stomach was removed. 3 weeks post op till I had no pain. I had a breakdown too- it gets better I promise

Congratulations ! Did you slow down at all? My fiancé got his September 26 and lost 102 lbs since then
