Ms. Mandy

Is anyone drinking alcohol??

I am appox 7 months out and just now being able to eat 1 cup if food per setting. I have lost 95 pounds since nov 12. And even when i think I can eat more I can not! Hang in there!!

Awesome!!!!

They should have your gallbladder removed with surgery! I was feeling so missable a couple weeks after surgery ... They didn't tell me til after I was rushed to the ER from work that that the gallbladder usually goes to crap after surgery ... Wish I would have known before hand that there was a chance of that before surgery so I knew what was going on.

At times I crave chocolate ... I will sometimes eT a snack size Hershey chocolate and do count it as part of 800 cal diet ... But I do find myself wanting to snack through out the day ... Even though it worries me I have not gave in

I'm glad to see I am not the only one that has the hunger pains back! It worries me but I know that I have control over it ... Just scary cause I don't want to give in!!

I am about 6 month post op and starting to get that feeling of hungry again and craving stuff?!! I was was wondering if anyone else is doing this and how you handle it?

That's so awesome!! I think I will try to keep my inches somewhere. I have only had one stall a months or so after surgery but I'm pretty sure I am on my way to the second one. I am about 5 months post op. I know it's normal but always scary!!

When is the second stall for weight loss?

I really want something that will help me transform my body ... The surgery is great but I also want to be in great shape and healthy.

Has anyone tried insanity after surgery? I was thinking it would be good to use tone up the body and help with sagging skin (I know it won't get rid of it, but help it).

Congrats!! That must feel amazing!!

Most us are very supportive and can relate but there are some that still judge and post ugly comments! Wish we could delete those people

Great Job!!

What can you do to help the flab on your arms??

Thanks lady! I am going to try to do it but not going to feel like a failure if I don't. I am going to try to get as close as possible! ????

So probably loosing 100 lbs during the first six months isn't probably realistic. I have lost 54 lbs since my surgery date in November and 64 lbs all together.

I go to GNC and have their gold card which gives you discount. They are do specials and coupons. But if there was someplace better I would like to know also ... Saving money is never a bad thing!

What would be an ideal weight loss for 6 months post op??

So far I have only ate the toppings no crust but not sure if that's on a lists of approved foods ... It doesn't settle to well either. So I know probably should not eat it ( even just the toppings) that's why I was wondering if anyone could tolerate it and the opinions if we should eat it or not. I don't want this surgery not to successful

How does everyone feel about pizza?

I have noticed that soups have lots is protein and not many calories per can ... Does anyone eat soup on Regular basis??

Glad to know I'm not the only one ... It is kind of nerve racking ... I will probably call my doc to see if this is normal. Thank for the response

I'm only four months out and starting to get that hungry feeling at times. I thought this was suppose to happen closer to a year? I feel like I can eat more without getting that icky feeling in my stomach ... Makes me nervous. I still measure and eat an average of 600 ... I can also take bigger sips of water without it feeling up my stomach. I guess I'm scared my pouch is stretched, but I have been making good choices and not over eating. Any suggestions on what could be going on? Is this normal?
