I was wondering the same thing... Why can't we have gum?? I miss coffee i want to try some so bad but i don't want ulcers my mother had gastric bypass when i was in high school over 14 years ago and she had ulcers she never knew why but I'm sure it's the coffee and the cigarettes. That scares me away from the coffee. I do miss it though!

Remember to get extra fluids today! I've only gotten sick twice but it takes away allot of your fluids so the next two days you can feel like crap if you don't replenish them fast.

I made the choice to tell my coworkers from the beginning. While i was going to my appointments i talked about the process and i think that helped. Some warned me that they knew people that had problems with it or it's too dangerous but i told them it was my choice. I work as a cna in a nursing home i only told the girls on my floor the big bosses and a few in the kitchen. yesterday people from the other floors were asking me how i was doing and how much I've lost. The word has spread through the building lol. But I'm ok with that it's a big support for me. I have had no complications so far and I'm doing great so the people that had doubt are now congratulating me!

Thanks everyone and congrats to everyone that has joined me! as much add i loved getting into the 2's i can't wait to be in the 1's! Long road ahead but i can see the end of the tunnel :-)

I was told 60gm protein and 64Oz fluids. Also on soft food you can eat most things add long as you cherry them to ground or purred constancy.

This morning i weighed my self and I'm finally under 300!! So happy wed i will be 4Weeks post op starting weight 352 surgery weight 322 current weight 299!!

Ozzing Puss doesn't sound good. Does it have an oder? That would be a sign of infection. I would call the Dr tomorrow........ Mine have almost cleared up completely. The rash is almost all gone no more itching for the past few days and they look like they are heeling very well. I'm 3 and a half Weeks post op!!

5more Weeks before i can have bread... I made my kids chicken patty on a roll last night and the bread smells so good i could easy it plain but i didn't!

I get that feeling too! Lol and I'm also only 3Weeks post op. But i keep it to my self.

I guess everyone is different i came home the day after surgery and took care of my self and 4 children the next day. Started driving 4days post op. I had no help once i came home.

I would buy new ones lol. i bought new ones right before surgery bought a snug fit so they could last a while. Nothing fancy a $8 pack from Walmart. Can't wait till i can go down a few sizes to something sexy!

I'm still waiting tobe added!!! Someone please add me! I've asked like 3 times!

I FEEL GREAT! I'm only 30 and i was on no meds pre op. No underling health conditions but a long family history of them. I have felt great since the day after surgery. keep pushing my self to follow the plan and follow all the rules. Not that i haven't. But i Gretel great! I'm only 3Weeks post op tomorrow so i haven't bought any new clothes yet but it feels great getting into old clothes that didn't fit before. Yes i have energy and i love that i finally made the choice and had RNY!
