Omg! Great news! They are beautiful... Congratulations!!!! .::SurgeryDate 7/25/12::.

I have been stuck at the same # for 2 weeks.... Kinda freaking out. But I'm back at work not in a routine yet and its hars getting all my Water and Protein in but I get super close to my minimum every day. Super frustrating Surgery 7/25/12

Every surgeon is different. Just follow your surgeons guidelines. You'll be just fine. Surgery 7/25/12

In our 8 years together I've never weighted less than my hubby. I have a while to go but this will definitely be a milestone for me too! Surgery 7/25/12

I was so calm too. I was at total peace with my decision and just waited. It's a great feeling & I hope it.last until sleep time for you! Best of luck & update us when you are POST op:) Surgery 7/25/12

I thought I would still be keeping it a secret but I tell people who ask. I've found myself more people than I ever thought I would. I agree people are judgemental asses but just as I'm not perfect NEITHER are they lol. I've been surprised at the support I've gotten and people are kind (to my face). Surgery 7/25/12

Weekend indulgent... It's so hot outside omg... We took our 2 year to a farm and enjoyed the day minus the sun burn! After my hubby and daughter enjoyed their ice cream I went to a shaved ice place near home they blend natural fruit nothing extra (sugars) I had a kid size and got banana & strawberry.... Heaven! Haven't had one since before surgery. Ice & fruit! Went down cold and completely satisfying! But next weekend its a better holiday for me! It's my birthday! No cake but Im planning on making myself that watermelon "cake" I've seen posted here Surgery 7/25/12

Each Dr is so different... Ask questions that are important to you. When can have sex post op? How long are you on liquids? How easy is he reachable on weekends? Does he us staples, stitches, or glue? When can you swim? What does he do to avoid stricture? Comes to mind... Surgery 7/25/12

I got my period the day after my surgery and was told its because they give you shots to not clot. Surgery 7/25/12

For sure! Thanks Surgery 7/25/12

3 months is a long time? I thought it would take at least 6 for it to go.away. I'll call this week! Surgery 7/25/12

Just got home from buying my UNFLAVORED PROTEIN! I'm excited this should boost me in the right direction! Surgery 7/25/12

I was worried at first that 4 weeks was not going to be long enough, but after the first week I was feeling normal and good. I was ready to go back to work. I did enjoy the month I got to spend with my daughter. Best of luck!

My poor hubby... He's bought me poweraid zero in every flavor, mio in almost every flavor, propel zero in 3 different flavors, peach crystal light, Passion tea tazo bags, and a costco case of diet green tea. I too could not do Water it was hard to get it all in. But I got burnt out on every single thing! So grateful he found crystal light ice tea.... I've been faithful to just this for 2 weeks and still love it. Just find what works! Surgery 7/25/12

I measure at home with measuring cup. I need to get a second plate ... Or needed. I need to stay home for a while it was a bad experience for me. Surgery 7/25/12

Thank you! Surgery 7/25/12

I started my cycle (early) right after surgery- Dr said it because they give me anti blood clot shots and it thinned my blood, or something like that. I had it for 12 days! Surgery 7/25/12

I was told no but when I talked to a friend who had surgery 2 days after me, she had been doing strawberries in her Protein all along. & with straw she said it was the "only way" she could get it down. Try it see if you can handle it Surgery 7/25/12

It's the morning after a really painful night... I still feel FULL! I'm sipping water- I have no desire for food today. I think I'm going to do a liquid/protein day Surgery 7/25/12

Yeah, I did clear in the hospital. When I was discharged I was on full liquid and Jello etc for a week. Then from 1week to 1month its was soft foods... Scrambled egg, cottage cheese, Beans etc. At my one month I'm on chicken shrimp all veggie and fruit and salad. Surgery 7/25/12

It's official!.... I can't eat out! Went out to eat for dinner and I ate too much & feel nasty. I ate slow but didn't measure and didn't realize how much was going in :'( I ordered a Cobb salad with no Bacon or dressing I just at the egg, the a lil turkey and the avocado. But my husband had shrimp and I kept picking and picking and probably ate 10 pieces of little shrimp. I'm nauseous but nothing will come up. So much discomfort. I didn't get the full feeling until 20 minutes after so late and I can't express my feelings of disgust! Surgery 7/25/12
