  1. 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!!!
  2. How awful and rude. Don't worry he doesn't sound so normal.
  3. 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?
  4. Congrats! We are all happy Nd excited for you. Just remember everyone pain tolleramce levels are different. Forst few weeks can be or get rough. Some crying may be involved - you may start asking the y's - y did I do this etc. then focuse on the bigger outcome weeks and months later. Support. Support support is key.
  5. I can't wait not to Have to go to Lane Bryant! I would love to catch the great deals at TJ max and Ross.
  6. I'm looking forward of getting rid of these two little heads I carry around called boobs! I wear a 40G and can not wait to get into the normal bra siZe category. I also can't wait to buy my first pair of none Lane Bryant clothes.
  7. Wow! You ladies are like worriers! The thought with the pain makes me want to give out awards or something!
  8. Post op - 2 weeks Initial weight - 280 Today weight - 258.2 On soft foods, hope progression does not slow down really bad!
  9. It got better by day 10 Or 11 for me, but I am starting to have severe back pain.
  10. . Yeah I told my friends else was all around miserable, I'm still waiting for light at end of tunnel.
  11. I did hcg drop last year and it did work, but it left me with 4 periods in 1 month.
  12. Yes, the weird burn sensation - the hot poker is the pain that throws me for a loop!
  13. I found the pain to be more than I was expecting when I got home. I was just completely miserable. I had to take pain meds daily. I'm on day 11 or 12 and i still can't sit up for long periods of time. But it does not hurt as bad to laugh, so something is healing.
  14. I swear everything gives me diarrhea - day 11. Does this go away?
  15. Hi vamp, I think you look great before and after! What a smile
  16. Post op 15 days. Down 17 pounds.
  17. I would not worry as much about the diet - I wish i was warned about the pain.
  18. I eat applesauce - natural kind - strained daily and it keeps u regular. If you eat too much u may get dumping syndrome.
  19. I'm still having a hard time with drinking / finding a protein shake. I remember I use to love smoothie king - skinny (no sugar) options. Has anyone tried that?
  20. I can't eat anything outside of jello, soup, Popsicle. I have no Idea how long I live on this without the protein.
  21. I think a good thread would be to exchange clothes! I would love to get rid of my clothes to someone who could really use them once I start really using. My bra size is impossible to find and expensive do I'm hoping in the next few months I can get rid of those as well. I would buy some on my clothes on eBay!!!
  22. The pain is unbelievable! Have you tried my best fried - heating pad?
  23. I never had a baby - but did have a 3rd degree burn. The actual burn pain was worst but it was in a localize area, this surgery make your entire inside hurts and puts you out for days and week. I didn't realize how your stomach controls your turning, coughing, sneezing, breathing, laughing etc. I'm on day 8 or 9 and the pain amount has gone down, but when it comes it's horrible!!
