    chapstick!

    very baggy underwear

    baggy dress or

    very baggy very soft pants and oversized top

    flip flops

    patience :0)

    When I left the hospital I was VERY swollen. My underwear was way to tight and it was comfy before I went in. I wish I had had a dress even though I HATE dresses. Chapstick because your lips WILL be dry.

    really, nuthin else. Wear the clothes in and out. It will be very hard in the beginning, but it is well worth it.

    Good LUCK!

    Call your doc.

    I have had nausea due to acid. My PPIs are starting to make that better.

    Some days for me are better than others, but I still eat a very little bit at a time. Annoying since I can barely get in my calories and Protein.... I still supplement with a Protein Drink.

    I also had another EGD done. Nothin' was found on me. I wish they would have upped the PPIs before they wanted the EGD....

    Good luck!

    Congratulations! Your weight loss is awesome!

    I have arthritis also. I've been tested numerous time to try to figure out what type I have and nuthin' comes out pos. So, I just ache all over. I know my weight would come off faster if I could exercise without the joint pain. Muscle pain, I can deal with, joint, not so much.... I REALLY wanna start my arthritis meds again, but my doc wants some acid irritation to heal before I try the nsaids again.....

    Good luck!

    Remember your doc knows best....

    Drinking for me was very hard in the beginning. I needed my liquids room temp for several weeks. Plain Water is harder. Try flavoring the Water. I've read on here that it helps the water molecules separate.... weird but it helps.

    Tiny sips! and I mean small. For the first several days I had many measuring cups lined up on the counter and I would fill with barely an oz. and sip 1 every 10 minutes. VERY time consuming, but this is all there is at this point....

    I'm about to start my 3rd month and my stomach STILL cramps if I drink too fast or I shock it with a big gulp and it is super cold. It does get better a little bit every day. :)

    I was just thinking about how my pajama top is really long on me and how the V-neck is really low. I looked at the size and thought to myself that I may need to buy new jammies soon.....

    So a few of my favorite things that I have noticed these last 2 months are:

    - I have a neck and jawline now

    - my underwear is waaaaaay to big and I need smaller ones stat!

    -I'm running out of the smaller shorts in my closet. The ones I would fit into now I threw away a

    loooooong time ago

    - My stomach pooch is considerably smaller

    - my daughter's teacher noticed I had lost weight! (woohoo!)

    - need smaller jammies

    - I fit into a foldable yard chair easier

    - need smaller belts

    - my blood pressure keeps going down with every doctor visit, no more BP meds

    - no more cholesterol meds

    - easier to get into and outta my car

    - need smaller bras

    - don't have to stretch out my t-shirts before I put them on

    What have you noticed and liked?
