Good luck. This is a great place for support.

Glad your doing good. My mouth stayed dry for 2 days and the first 18 hours I could have nothing but ice chips it killed me. Welcome to the losers bench. Hope you do great.

Congrats. I'll pray for you! Let us know how you are when you are able. Good luck on your new life!!

My first month I lost 23lbs. I am 5'1" and I started at 278. I am 3 months out and have lost 53 lbs

When I had purée I craved sweets bad. I had 1 tsp of peanut butter and it helped. But I limited it to 1 tsp a day of that. I am now 4 months out and not craving as bad. Hope it helps!!

I would call my insurance and see what the deal is. Mine had to be approved before they would even set a date. Hopefully it will be and if so. Good luck and congrats on your new life.

Me christmas 2011 Me 3 months post op and down 53 lbs!!

I do not know if it is dumping but you can having dumping syndrome with vomit. I had it with hot dogs pasta sauce and Salisbury steak only I started feeling weak I got really hot and I turned pale. I laid down for about 15 min and was fine. I have never tried them since.

I am 3 months out and I still take flintstone chewable.

I am 3 months post op as of August 2. I went for my 3 month check up with my surgeon and I have almost lost 53 lbs!! I started at 278 on surgery day. Today I was 225. I can't wait to get below 200. I have never felt better and I can't remember last time I was under 200!! Hopefully I will hit onederland soon!!!

Congrats on your new life. Stay focused. You will love it. I am 3 months post op and have lost 53 lbs. it is the hardest thing I have done but most rewarding. If you need anything let me know..

I am 3 months post op and to this day I have depression episodes. Not as bad or often as I did. Just keep your head up and focus on your new life.

I had surgery May 2. 3 months post op I have lost 53 lbs as of today!!

I was wondering if we were allowed to have hamburgers on a George foreman grill without the bun? I haven't had one since surgery in May.

You look great. Keep it up!!

I was wondering which was better walking or the treadmill?

I started the gym last week. I usually do at least 30 min on the treadmill and then at least 5 on the elliptical. I am out of shape bad so the elliptical hurts. I am hoping to also walk an hour in the mornings then gym in the evenings.

Great job. You look amazing. I am 21 and 3 months out. How was your exercise routine??

So i started the gym yesterday with my fiancée. I love it. We have done the treadmill, and elliptical, and stair climber.

Welcome and congrats on your new life!!!

You look great. Can't wait to get confident enough to post pics.

Okay guys and gals. I have good news. As i posted earlier i have decided to tell every body to either support me or oh well. I'm pressing on. Me and my fiance have had a long talk about he needs to get healthy and i would appreciate his support but if not thats fine. He decided to help and support me and we are joining a gym on Thursday together. It is not a huge gym mostly weights treadmill stationary bike and elliptical.

Thanks for the advice. I have told everyone. If they dont wanna support me then fine. Ill be a one person army.
