I had pf changs yesterday for lunch. The hit and sour Soup was delicious!!! With two shrimp potstickers. Hit the spot !!!

I was one month out last Wednesday . I had lost 18. I feel that is really slow but the way I look at it is I would have never lost 18 pounds in a month without this surgery.

Including Water. I ate some green Beans last night and didn't settle we'll. I thought when I woke up it would be better. But I still feel pressure. I even ate some papaya enzymes. Any advice?

You never told us how it went with your hubby! I'm curious! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

It went well. He had bought me a fishnet body suit a couple months back. I had worn it once and felt do uncomfortable in it that I never wore it again. So I tried it on again on friday and it felt ok. I went to target and bought a little black sundress in a large. I tried it on and it fit!!! Loosely I might add. So I wore that over the fishnet bodysuit. I felt a little rediculous so I put a big jacket on to cover me. But when we got home I took it off and he was surprised ! It was a nice afternoon!

So my hubby is flying home as we speak. He has been gone for two weeks on a business trip. He wants me to dress sexy to pick him up from the airport. I am a jeans and sweats kinda girl. I feel absolutely rediculous wearing a dress and heels. I have no self confidence in dressing sexy. Help!!!

It feels so close to me having gas but every time I try nothing happens its so frustrating. The gas seems to have migrated to my back and I can't get comfortable at all ughhh

I was like that too for a few days. I was afraid to put pressure on my tummy to fart. But after a few days it just happened. Hahahaha

I saw someone post that they dumped after swallowing because of sugar in it?

I was taking pills two days after surgery I think it depends on your md and if you have the silastic ring with your bypass .

I am two weeks post op. I have been taking Tylenol pills since day three. The doctor sent me home with Percocet for pain. I had no problems swallowing them.

My first meal! I'm so frickin excited. One oz chicken and one oz broccoli. I hope my tummy agrees.

How far out are you?

I tried the powder Protein and couldn't drink it. So I drink the costco brand Premier Protein. It has 30 oz protein per box.

Are you mixing the Protein with the Water when you drink it.?

No I only drink the Protein drinks. I like my Water plain.

I'm feeling pretty good...a little sore' date=' but it's manageable with pain meds...I have 7 incisions because I also had my hernia repaired. I've been documenting my journey on YouTube. RNYKrista[/quote']

I had a hernia too! It was right under my breast bone.

Lisa how are you coming along. I going tomorrow' date=' I'm getting so nervious.[/quote']

I'm doing fairly well. I had terrible insomnia last night. My pain is managed with Tylenol now. I have lost 8 pounds since Wednesday . I'm eating as much Protein and drinking about 30 oz of Water as I can. It's so weird that a 2oz medicine cup makes me full!

My surgeon said to expect to lose 60- 80%. I had surgery on Wednesday and my BMI is between 39 and 40.

I had surgery Wednesday also. How are you feeling?

Update' date=' was crying and feeling sorry for my self this morning. Still in hospital, off pain pump and was in an large amount of pain, but the liquid stuff is working. Attached a pic.

That is a gnarly incision!

I am now in onederland . If I weren't do frickin weak and tired I would jump for joy!

I am now in onederland! If I weren't feeling so weak I would be jumping for joy!

It's ok

They gave me Percocet to take every four hours. But I have been taking one every 5 hours. Otherwise I just sleep.

It is actually going easier than I expected. My stomach is 20 ml so I get full really fast. Any food I drink I use a medicine cup to measure. They way I'm not guessing at how much I'm getting in.

He told you that from your highest or lowest weight?

Kaiser goes from your highest weight. Then they have you liar do much weight in your own before they will schedule you for surgery. My goal to get scheduled was 209.

Refried beans' date=' eggs, spinach in blender & add feta cheese & microwave, yummy. I didn't have to put eggs, fish including crab & scallops, or cottage cheese in a blender so those are my staples. Good luck![/quote']

All of these are considered full liquid?

I am also 5'3. I had surgery on Wednesday . My highest weight was 231.day if surgery I was 204.my surgeon said I will lose between 50-70 pounds. I will be happy with That.
