Chicken broth is usually allowed on any prep it's a low calorie clear liquid

Hide your scale use it once a week

Tattoo on the top of the foot hurts lol...at 100lbs I'm going to get one on my wrist. I already have one on my leg and it didn't change much after 82lbs

I now weigh less then my husband AND son!

Never kept mine a secret.

I licked the icing offmy finger after cutting my sons cake and within minutes felt sick and had to omit

Everyone is different and what our bodies can tolerate is also different. I'm 6 months out, to me it's not so much what I eat but how much. I ate a tablespoon of potato salad. I did forgo the cake for my sons birthday because I don't want to fall back into my bad habits. I haven't had pop in over 6 months and Minot going to. Each must determine what is right for us.

I went from a 44dd to a 40d. Got all new bras again! Anyone need 44dd's

Start taking zicam! I got a cold the week before and this cut the duration in half and had my surgery in time.

My dr did NOT allow anything crime it all had to be clear; broth, jello,Popsicles with the exception of protein drinks. I NEVER want to eat jello again. In the end it's all worth it. Hang in there

Ty both. It's been very emotional today but so far I'm doing pretty good. I brought some grapes and bottles of water the nurses are great and getting me ice. Packed my lunch and I'm staying on track so far today. She was always worried about my diabetes and I'm glad she got to know that my sugars are under control.

Look into taking the vitamin called biotin it promotes hair growth. My nutritionist suggested it.

Sounds like you are backed up, I was told over the counter laxatives and fiber

I was allowed after 5 months

Heard terrible things about Bariatriceating.com took orders and never delivered. Took the money now won't answer the phone or emails

Had mine Friday morning went home Sunday. I was out at Target within a week of surgery and back to work. I had no complications surgically

Damn girl!

Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels!

I went back to work after a week. They take my drain out on hospital release. I was slow but still as bossy lol

Still 68 in one sitting is a great drink. Once you can eat tuna and cottage cheese and eggs it all adds up pretty fast

Ty kristy!

2scoops would be 70grams plus the milk and sounds delicious

I was told any liquid under 10 calories with no caffeine or carbonation

HOping I can find strength within. My grandmother is not doing very well and I am her caregiver during the day. She has pretty much given up. Sitting in the hospital is hard. The food there Is NOT healthy which I don't get at all. I can't exercise there and when I get home I have my family to take are of. UGH! I'm hoping I can stay on track and plan things out I'm packing my lunch so I don't have to worry about that. The other day I just sat there and remembered that just 1 floor up was where I had my sugery and that I'm glad I didn't wait that she got to see me healthy with my diabetes under control. She has always been my biggest cheerleader so maybe the strength I need will be in making her proud and doing this!
