Try it but you really need an Endoscopy - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

Can't have more than 6g of carbs or 6g of sugar in one sitting - Protein bars are packed full of carbs and sugar - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

No. The reason you can't have soda is because of the carbonation, same goes for beer obviously. Some people drink through the pain, up to you - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

UGHHHHH today is the day. I've been having pain in my pouch and although the ulcer medication helped - it didn't cure the problem so my surgeon wants to scope me today :/ I hate hate hate needles and don't want to be here at all. He also wants to take blood today because I've been experiencing dizzy spells when i get up or bend down and I know I'm not dehydrated or low in iron. Obnoxiously nervous because of the needles :[ - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

Possibly my pot smoking, but I have a vape now so... mostly due to me being an idiot and taking a shot of alcohol only a month out (21st bday) - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

Yeah they gave me meds. 40lbs until my gown - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

All done - I have 3 ulcers which is actually great news because I thought it was my gal bladder which would have meant another surgery. On meds now. Man I felt rested after they put me out - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

I'm almost 5 months post op and down 80lbs. I do exercise but am unable to do so as much as I'd like because I'm busy with work and school and a boyfriend - sometimes I'm lucky to get to the gym once in a week. I mostly do yoga and try to go jogging occasionally. To make up for the lack of working out I try to make better decisions physically, so I haven't used an elevator since surgery (stairs! stairs! stairs!) and I don't try to get the closest parking spot etc. I also work at Starbucks so I stand 4-8hrs at a time so I sort of count that - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

Last time I wore this gown it barely fit around me, now I can tie it AND it's loose! Awesome feeling... until they put the IV in -.- [ATTACH]1590[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1592[/ATTACH] - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

I died laughing - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

Online but dont get it - it wasn't deeply engraved and so scratched up it's barely legible - I'm so pissed about it since it cost 40 dollars. Looking into doing an anklet since it'd be a lot harder to scratch - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

Essentially what I plan on getting [ATTACH]1566[/ATTACH] - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

I found old pictures and videos of myself pre-op and newly post-op... that was my holy shit moment. My thinnest was in high school (180lbs at 5'8") and now I'm 186.6lbs.... but I don't see the Kaylee I miss from high school. When I was huge I saw old Kaylee, so now that I'm thinner I have a sense of "but this is how I always looked" because I never accepted or saw how much I really ballooned out. Now looking at me at 276lbs really puts it in perspective... but I'm still not even close to how I want to look. 140lbs I think i'll be happy... - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

As long as there's no aspirin/NSAIDs in it you should be fine - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

Do NOT put Gatorade in you! It's all sugar - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

HW: 276 SW: 263 Today: 189 Total loss of 74lbs since surgery and 87lbs since my highest - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

Assuming you're newly post op - it gets better once you get it out if your system, 2-3 weeks. I still miss it but it's not maddening - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

21... but my arms, although pudgy, were never my problem area - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

Thanks! I hope it stays that way... I'd still like to lose another 50 lbs. I am starting to get loose skin on ny lower stomach... praying it eventually tightens up but I'm not very confident - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12
