  2. I've gone from a 48F to a 40F. Your cup size does go down but then shifts with the band size so it's always different for everyone. I can't wait to ditch these jugs!!!
  3. Thanks for the tips! I appreciate it.
  4. You are not alone! And it's awful and embarrassing. I think it has to do with eating too fast. When I'm mindful and slow down I don't burp.
  5. Hey everybody! Has anyone found a yogurt that has less than 5g of sugar? I love Greek yogurt but it's just too much sugar (22g). I'm not dumping, but just want to follow the rules. I'm stuck in a rut with my losing and figured being super strict may do the trick. Thanks in advance for the answers!
  6. I didn't try tortillas until I was cleared for regular foods. I warm them up but don't toast them. I always toast bread-and really almost never eat it because it's just too much. The bet advice is to follow your doctor's plan. Compliance can't be beat. best wishes!

  9. I think it depends where you are in the process...I'm 16 weeks and eat a small, thin tortilla with my eggbeaters every morning to make a wrap. Sometimes I don't eat the end because it's too doughy. When I go out for lunch or lunch is brought in to work I try to pick a wrap because I can't really eat the bread and I do ok. I don't dump so watermelon doesn't bother me other than filling me up because it's all water. So, depending what stage you're in I say give it a try. Your body will tell you if it doesn't like it. Good luck!
  10. Yes! I don't like super hot stuff-I tend to be a wimp, but I put Frank's Red Hot on my egg beaters just about every day

  12. I'm interested in this too. I feel like my metabolism has increased because I sweat profusely after I eat sometimes. But I'm not quite sure if that's the reason. Thanks for asking this one! I want to know too.
  13. I had Dr O'Malley too!!
  14. I wish my boobs would just go away. I'm a 44F! I've gone down two band sizes and two cup sizes since surgery. I hate my boobies!

  16. You are not alone! I narrowed my intestinal issues to the protein shakes as well. But after 6 weeks I didn't have to drink them anymore. I used Boost Glucose Control. Thankfully it's only temporary. Best wishes!
  17. My loss has been funky like this as well but it follows the schedule of my irregular monthly cycle. Could be hormones
  18. Pack light is the best advice. I put on regular clothes once my IV was taken out and that helped me feel more comfortable since we can't shower in the hospital. You can shower the minute you get home (which is what I did). One thing that was essential for me to have while in the hospital was chap stick. My lips got soooo dry. It also helped my mouth feel not as dry for some reason since I couldn't drink for 24 hours after. Best wishes!!
