I got the shots too. Was bruised like crazy afterwards.

Good luck to you!

Thanks so much for clarification!!!!!! Woohoo then!!!!!!! I am in Onderland then. Just reached it!!!!

What is Onderland?

I tried the grape one and I found it to be tolerable. I am glad to have them because getting down 70 grams of protein is still hard for me and my surgery date wad 6.10.13.

Great job - you look great!

Congratulations to you! How are you feeling after such a weight loss?

This is very true as I had the same issue and it does get better. It is very frustrating but you will get past it. I was sleeved on 6/10/13 and I still have a little trouble trying to sip fast but it is a ton better than my first 2 weeks. Hang in there.

@Justwant2behealthy, I too was an emotional mess before my surgery; you have all kinds of unanswered questions going through your head and a bunch of "what ifs" and this is totally normal. I did a lot of praying before surgery. I am glad that I had it done and wish I would have done it sooner. Everything will be fine and just think how much better you will feel after. am post of 7 weeks and down 36lbs. Good Luck

Prayers are going up! You will be fine and feeling great in a couple of weeks! Good luck!

That is great news! Where was your doctor from in Boston?

Congratulations and good luck!

I am only 7 weeks post op and have been out to eat with my children and husband and I only order appetizers (and I get a to go container)! You have worked hard to get where you are and do not let anyone ruin it for you! Ask for that take home tray! One meal/appetizer can be 3 meals for you! Enjoy your victory!

That is awesome. I have just joined and had my surgery on June 10 and am grateful to have found this site as well. I cannot wait to see what a difference a year will make for me!!!! Congrats to you.

You look amazing! Congratulations

Sorry I meant to say low impact "zumba".

Hello Everyone, I am so glad to see this forum for African Americans. My friend told me about this site and I have been all day reading it. I had my surgery on 6/10 and am down 40lbs. Feeling great and have finally been able to do low impact rumba instead of just walking all the time. Black Girls Workout Too is also a great DVD to buy. I ordered it and used it last night for the first time and it will make you sweat and feel good about doing it!

Hi there, That is pretty quick to go back to work already. I had mine on 6/10/13 and went back to work after 5 weeks. If you don't feel up to it I would check with your HR dept and find out how much time you are allotted? Good luck
