This is a great thread!!! I just had my first voimiting experience and was wondering why did I do this!! Ohhh I remember! 1- not be a slave to food 2- keep up with family and friends 3- buy any bra I want - not special order ugly ones 4- maybe have kids and be able to move around while pregnant 5- not scared of airplane seats

I dream about eating bread every night!!! But in my dream I forget I had surgery and suddenly remember and start choking. Crazy!!!!

Lol --- I never saw the liquid pervert either!!!

Hey Tammy, Yeah it's crazy when I see people starting weight as my 1 month goal! But, it's not how you start the race - its how you finish.

I had to do 6 months, but only 3 had to be consecutive within a 24 months. So I was able to use a old program from last year.

Hi Vamp, Great suggestion - I was able to eat the sweet potato kind. They melt super fast!! I wish they had a cheese flavor.

I agree with Nikki, I was going to do the same thing 10 years ago when I was 200 pounds. By the time I got the surgery I was 280. I'm struggling but trying to keep the faith.

Yes! I'm at 3 weeks and still no luck with protein. When I drink it, shakes or juices, I just gag for hours and become nauseated. The smell of it makes me sick to my stomach. I never thought I would run into this problem! Ive bought so many I need to find a way to get samples.

I did not get a drain - sounds painful.

Bread is my Kryptonite!!!! ????

Thank goodness everything came back negative!! I hope it gets better.

Congrats you are sooo lucky! And deserve it.

Did anyone recovery take longer than they thought? I'm still waiting for my first good day since the surgery. The surgery pain is getting better but I have a kidney infection that is killing me. I can't take pill antiobitics and this liquid stuff is super disgusting! I'm still in search for my protein shakes that I can drink or smell. I've bought five so far and not lucky.

Atlanta, GA. . I really do love this place.

Wow. This actually seems like a good problem to have! Does it not taste gross to you?

Everyday is a roller coaster - with tons of tears. You never know what's going to set if off. They say it gets better but I cant imagine it. My favorite food is pizza and I don't know how to be happy without it.

Great inspiration!!! Any advice??

Omg - this sounds awful! Why do some people get drains?

Hopefully it will not be as bad as you think. 2 of my incision turned very red and swollen but it was reaction to tape and my doc told me to use cortisone. You have to watch the fever - better call to be safe than sorry.

I just found out my back pain was a kidney infection. Not sure when this surgery actually gets better.

Hi Nikki What are you eating? Walking? What surgery did u have?

Hey! U r not alone! I swear worse pain of my life - constantly asking why did I do this??? I'm on day 14 and I still have pain. Heating pad really helps!!!

How awful and rude. Don't worry he doesn't sound so normal.

Doctor basically said - I have to figure out a way to get protein numbers up. I have not made it over 10g and I still feel pretty lously! I have to work on finding ways to get protein without drinking awful shakes. I have to go back in 1 week. So far - this sucks. I hate the fake sugar taste - any liquid suggestions that are not completely gross?
