Can somebody stay overnight with you?
Mine was OK with it but I sent hubby home. I would have been worried about him plus with the pain meds you don't really care. LOL

so nervous, just submitted to insurance
You will be fine! And they will approve you! (Fingers crossed) I only told one person at work and I am the HR person. :-) I'm about 11 weeks out and a few people have noticed my weight loss but only one (that I know of) wondered if I had surgery. I just told everyone I was having surgery. So, so far so good. No one really pushed the issue, even my boss has not asked. But I am sure that will change when they see me the end of March! Good luck to you!

Be honest - BM's and Gas?
I am 11 weeks out and I don't have a lot of gas. I did right after surgery from the air they pump into you. That lasts a week or so. However, I do have issues with constipation. I am fine with stool softners and milk of magnesia about 2-3 times per week. It is partly because of the iron and the lack of fruits and veggies. Once your diet evens out these issues seem to go away. Me BF had RNY about 2 years ago and was fine a few months out. Good luck.

OH The clothes! Mine are literally crawling up the wall in my spare bedroom. I've only lost 50 but I was wearing some pants from when I was heavier so those went the day of surgery. I am so happy to be down a few sizes but at the same time I am sick about the money. Been trying to get stuff on super clearance. I can't do thrift. Bedbug scare me. I travel a lot for work and I see how prevalent they are. eeeewwww

Twisted intestine
Same here. Mine was twisted with a staple and was completely blocked off. I could not keep anything down. It was HORRIBLE. You feel like you are going to die and well, you actually can. Had to have ER surgery on day five. However, this is really rare. So I was told. Once they fixed it, I was fine.

Kinda worried :(
I had that too at two weeks. You might have just pulled something a bit. See how you are in the morning. Hope you feel better. We forget we are still healing. I've been "pinching" lately.

Is it okay..
Unjury plain doesn't like heat it clumps. But the value of the protein is ok.

Mom irritating me... As usual...
In 2011 I got to 231 from 298 she didn't even notice. This time I got to 231 again (shot back up to 275 hence the RNY) and you'd think I look like Barbie. Lol. I guess she thinks she means well but it irks me. One time I got I got to a size 12 and she gave me her "fat" clothes. Grrrr

How much protein at one time, almost 2 weeks post op
I wouldn't push it early on. I was told 8 over an hour but that was too much. Most important right now is just liquids then protein. :-)

Matrix Mint Cookie by syntrax
I love this stuff!!!!! I also live the samples at baratirc pantry. I found and use it the Syntrax nectar chocolate Truffle from there as well. For the mint cookie I add 4 OZ of milk and 4 OZ of Water. All milk is a little heavy for me. This is 27 grams of Protein.

First time shopping
I love the fact I have pants that span 4 sizes and all fit about the same. Someone really needs to standardize women's clothing sizes. That would help. I hear you on the mental part. One day I feel smaller and I think I look better then the next day I feel bigger than before. I think no matter what size we are shopping for jeans SUCKS!!!!

POPCORN!
It is the hulls. I found Special K popcorn chips. No hulls. Yes there are carbs but once in a blue moon they help with the craving esp at the movies.
