worm2872

Great job!! I can't wait! Right now I am happy not to be Morbidly Obese. Just Obese...

That's wonderful!! What a great present!

Campka!! Glad to hear from you!!!! Congrats

I am the same way. I literally have force myself to stop, look up and JUST say Thank You! Let me tell you it is hard at first. My first gut reaction is to curl into a ball. You don't change overnight but it does get easier. Just remind yourself of HOW HARD this really is and you deserve the compliment.

SW 275 DOS 262 11/19/2012 Today 240 Barely a pound this week... sigh...I think I may be a bit smaller though.

You are fine. I'm at four and 1/2 weeks and 21 pounds. :-)

Yea!!! I can't wait to be there!!

Yea!!!!

Good idea!

Hi! I'm worm2872 on MFP. Feel free to add me. I'm on there everyday

Yes the unjury chicken soup is a great snack/lunch. I'm just so sick of chicken soup right now.

My friend is like that. It's not everyday. But some days she says she grazes. Hopefully it will pass. It's a bit scary.

Hi! I had good days and bad but I'm in my five week and I feel pretty good. I'm back to work and the only thing I feel is my internal healing. It does not hurt just with all the moving I can tell I had surgery if that makes sense. Still have to be careful. It will get better!! Hang in here and nice loss so far.

I added biotin and fiber tablets. My dr already has me taking all the vitamins, Pepcid and Actigall twice a day.

Whoo hoo. Awesome!!

So happy for you!!!

WOW Happy B DAY! And I can not even imagine losing 158!!! Good for you!

Well, in my case I am still struggling with the thought that I 'failed' and that's why I needed the surgery. I know that is not really true but it is something I am working on. Also, some people are just rude and I don't want to deal with it. My close friends, hubby and mom know. None of the rest of the family. They can't keep quite and it's no body else's business. However, I give you credit if you want to shout it from the roof tops!!

Well, I know I gage by what I can eat on its own. So if all the ingredients are OK and they are OK on your plan, then why not. I know I have pushed it with soft foods. My surgeon opened the door when she said she kinda mixes the soft and pureed stage.

I had it for about a week during week 3 & 4. I think it is our bodies healing but I would still call your Dr. I found out that if I keep water in my pouch and made sure my blood sugar did not get low I was basically OK. Good Luck

WHOO HOO! Mini NSV! I am not longer morbidly obese! BMI 39.9! LOL

I'm glad to hear this as well as others are in the same situation!! :-) Sky, That wrap sounds soooooo good right now!!! I need to try turkey chili! Oh and salad... drool! Never thought I would say that! LOL

All of a sudden, I can eat more than a 1/4 of a cup. I had some all day nausea for my third and fourth week then I was fine and could eat a more. I'm in my fifth week now. I think some of the internal swelling went down. I am still really careful eating. I just hope I didn't strech anything out. My luck I did. But I do know that some people can eat more than others at this point.

I took four weeks but I had a complication and had to have a second surgery about a week out. I could have gone back in three but I had some nausea that would have been hard to deal with and I was still getting my food under control. I have a desk job but I travel all over PA.

Katie: I'm in the same boat. My surgery was 11/19. Just be patient and keep doing what you are doing. It will come off Welcome!!
