I was told no soda, no beer, no anything with gas!

when was your surgery?

Are you chewing 25-30 times before you swallow? what have you tried? I suggest you go with fish and soft veggies, eat your protein first, but CHEW, CHEW, CHEW and allow some time before each bite.

I eat chobani non-fat yogurt all the time, at least one a day and it has 18g of sugar, I have had no problem at all.

I am 3 months out and will gladly help if I can...feel free to send me an inbox with your questions/concerns, hopefully I can help.

WOW!!!!!!!! You look FABULOUS!!!, I am 3 months post op and down 56 lbs, can't wait to be at 80 lbs lost, or more like 150 lost, ... how much do you exercise? any tips that have been helpful for such a successful journey?

Make sure you eat REALLY slowly and CHEW, CHEW, CHEW!!! eating too fast can also cause the puke.

You look amazing!!! Congratulations on your achievements!

Seems like yesterday when I was 2 days away from surgery and I am now I week shy of 3 months post op, it has by far been the best decision I have ever made. You will do great and you will enjoy every lb lost after surgery. Best wishes and good vibes your way for a speedy recovery and smooth first week!

Slowly??? 65 lbs in 3 months is AMAZING!!!, congratulations and keep it up, you'll be at your goal weight in no time!!

Great job!!! Congratulations, you look amazing!

WOW!!! Huge difference, you look amazing!! Congratulations! How much have you lost?

WOW'!!!! great job! Congratulations...

Thank you all for your kind words... I am VERY happy with my progress and overall results of surgery and wish the very best to you all...

I would like to share my progress pics. My surgery date was March 11, 2013. Starting weight was 275 lbs, current weight is: 221, goal weight is 150, so I am half way through my goal... I had no complications, I love my surgeon and all of his staff, they are the best!!! So here are my pics, the one on the left was 2 weeks before surgery and the one on the right was yesterday:

How do I post a picture???? HELP!!!

Just got my box, my buddy Nathaly sent me my fave: banana chips!!!, she also sent me another fave: dark chocolate drink... yummy! I also got some apple butter sauce which is delicious and a pineapple protein drink that I can't wait to taste... Thanks Nathaly, you did an awesome job with my box.

Amazing job!!! you look fabulous, congratulations!!

Congrats on the weight loss!!! I was the closest bet!!

I've ordered from UNJURY and from MY BARIATRIC PANTRY, both have excellent service and good taste on their protein shakes!

I feel your pain.. I was not as miserable as you mention but did have a hard time with the back pain, burping felt like having knives dug into my shoulders. I used the heating pad on my back and that helped A LOT!!! When using it on my tummy it only made matters worse!!! Seems like you are doing the right thing with walking as much as you can. Another thing that reaaaally helped me was having someone rub my back, hopefully you get many volunteers for that,

Hi Nathaly, I am glad your box arrived and I am glad you liked it. Mine says it is scheduled to arrive on saturday which is my birthday, so it will be a great bday gift!!! Hope you enjoy the goodies and thanks for your kind words!...

Congrats! keep up the great work!
