Well I guess I'm just lucky. I never had gas pain or had to use gas x. I didn't even have trouble sleeping. I wish everyone had it as easy! I think being young helps a lot.

Mine has been a breeze. No complications and feeling great! The worst was getting out if bed the first 3 days!

I am. I walk every night and do Zumba 3 times a week. Tomorrow I'm 3 weeks

Can we have mashed sweet potatoes? Of course no skin! Lol

Can I get a copy also? Samantha_lee_roberts@yahoo.com

Question. How long before you are allowed to workout after surgery.

Happy Holidays everyone! Had my surgery 12-12-12 including the 2 week liquid diet I am down 30 pounds! I am doing a happy dance all around the Christmas tree! I know I have a ways to go but I am looking forward to a new year and a new me.

Nice to meet you. Welcome! How's it going?

Thanks! I have not been getting in any other protein at all because i hate the sweet crap. I ordered the unjury stuff it should be here soon!

I am almost 9 days post op. I ate some egg drop soup tonight. So far so good but I'm just nervous! At least it has protein. haha Did you guys cheat at all in the first 2 weeks after surgery. I have not had any complications at all and have felt minimal pain the whole time. Thoughts?

I guess I just didn't want everyone on my fb to know. I had already made my mind up and was tired of people talking about it. I would rather post a picture in 6 months and have people freak! I mean I want to scream" Hey fuckers I lost 24 pounds in 3 weeks" but i don't! haha I'll just share with you all We can become our own little support group! If y'all want to share a little information about yourself. You dont have too just an idea!

I would but I'm not posting anything on Facebook about the surgery.

I'm 22. Had mine 12-12-12. Minimal pain. Worst part fighting to take vitamins and protein. Still only getting about 30 ounces I liquid a day. I'd love to find more young people!

Now I know some people have experienced this before. I have been lucky thus far with the amount of support i have gotten. Yeah I had a few friends try to ask me if there were any other ways. Other then that my friends and my family, most of it, are extremely happy for me.... and scared! Well from the get go my sister was not a fan. She didn't want me to do it and wouldn't talk to me for about two weeks after deciding to do it. Well I'm now 1 week post op and she still won't speak to me. I texted her to ask her to call me, to talk about Christmas, no answer. She then calls my mom and I yell to my mom to tell her i need to talk to her. Her response was ' I don't want to talk to her" Well then my mom got mad and I cried. I have not cried at all this whole experience until then! Long story short she continued to be mean and rude to my mom threw text messages. Her words where. " She just gave up, I have lost all respect for her" Does she not know this is not giving up. This is a tool to help me further my weight loss goals. Giving up, are you fucking kidding me. For the last week every second of every day I have to think about what I am putting in my mouth. How far I've walked, how much i pee and poop. This was not giving up. This was making an ENTIRE life change! It blows my mind that such a smart women can be so childish and mean. If it was a friend of a stranger i wouldn't care so much. She's not only my sister but my best friend. I'm sure others have similar stories and sorry but I just needed to rant! Thank you all for all the support. This site has truly been a blessing! <3 Samantha

Yes it hurts a little to sit down and get up. I can't poop. (Tmi) And I want to chew food! But I am so happy I did this and why waste 23 more years being fat and unhappy! Lets talk more.
