After my surgery... When I woke up I would start my day out with hot tea. It really seemed to help with starting my drinking off. Since it was warm u was only able to sip it and since it tasted so delicious.. I kept at it and sometimes made a 2nd or third cup in the morning. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---

To be honest you don't really need anything except.. House shoes Change of clothes Favorite pillow Shampoo & conditioner Everything else you'll get at the hospital. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---

Most definitely. I've been using wrist weights since a week after surgery and I work my arms out during my walks or with Tae Bo and my arms look amazing. No loose skin at all. My inner thighs are a little loose and my belly. Focusing on that right now. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op.

LLLLOOOLLL... OMG ME TOO! I stalled the entire month as well and at the same darn weight too. I was starting to get a little depressed thinking that was the end of my journey. Even tho I don't really end to lose more but the fact that I still have like 7 months to my 1 year annivetsay I don't want to sit on a stall that darn long again. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op.

If your back hurts ask the nurse for a bariatric air bed. My fiance delivers different kinds of beds daily to the local hospital. Most patients don't even know that they can request a different bed or even another mattress. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op.

Be careful going cheap on your Protein. Trust me the cheaper you to the more you pay for it with the grade of taste. I've found that a few companies on line will actually work with your PPO Insurance and bill them for your monthly protein and Vitamins. Shop around and ask ask ask... ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---

I had a half of a El Pollo Loco Classic Chicken Burrito and boy am I paying for it. Stomach is rumbling and I see some dumping in my near future. :-/ ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 164.0 lbs. --- Only 14 lbs to my goal ---

I'm embarrassed to say.. I can eat all my protein but I'm lazy AND I love my shakes so I drink them for breakfast and dinner. At the end of the day I'm at about 80+ grams of protein. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 164.0 lbs. --- Only 14 lbs to my goal ---

There a place here in Stockton called Greens Nutrition. It's on 8 mile road. You can even get your Vitamins there and low to non sugar condiments... Snacks, noodles, .. all kinds of stuff. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 164.0 lbs. --- Only 14 lbs to my goal ---

My Dr requires it but since I had went from 259 down to 216 during my time I was required to work with a NUT to learn how to eat... My Dr said I didn't need to do the 2 week diet.. just the 24-48 hour cleanse. 2 weeks before surgery I was actually asked to stop losing because I was under the required weight to have surgery. So I pigged out the 2 weeks before surgery... Well at least tried! My body refused to allow it most of the time and would put me on timeout sending me to the bathroom with the runs or to vomit. I tell you... Once you start eating healthy your body won't except anything else. Not even those darn Girl Scout Cookies.

I've tried.... 3 different brands from Walgreens Bariatric Advantage from online Pure Protein from Trader Joes And.... I've finally found my love. Blue Bonnet Protein!!! It mixes well, all natural, not gritty, doesn't separate when it sits, no artificial additives. Even mixes well with my yogurt. It comes in vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, blueberries and original. Super high in protein too. It's a little pricy. I pay about $50 every 2 weeks which consist of one container of vanilla with 14 servings for $33 and 8 single packages.. additional flavors @ $2.65 each. Its so yummie is rather drink my shake then eat actual food. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 164.0 lbs. --- Only 14 lbs to my goal ---

I'm guilty! (Embarrassed) Everything that goes wrong with me I call my surgeon for an appt and they ALWAYS refer me back to my primary Dr. LOL Thanks for the post... I needed to be set straight.

Oh Em Gee.... YES! ABSOLUTELY! I can small everything... Especially breath and BO. What's bothered me lately is my newly turned 2 year old. It's definitely time to seriously focus on potty training because AS SOON as she pee pee's in her pamper it hits me and I'll reach to feel her pamper and yep... It's warm! PS.... The DMV; Walmart and the Emergency Room is off limits for me. These places smell HORRIBLY GROSS! ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op.
