Does anyone know if Vicodin is okay post-op?

Me neither...I wish I never tested it. Chocolate & candy...I keep eating it. Not much...just a piece here and there but I went 7 months with none when I was afraid of dumping!

My boobs are definitely droopy. Its like the baseball in a tube sock. Well maybe a crew sock lol... My tummy is flabby and jiggly. Irs hard to tell what is skin and what us fat. If I lean forward it hangs a lot. My inner thighs look wrinkly and loose. I have wrinkles on my booty. Arms are okay....not too bad. People say I'm skinny...I definitely don't feel skinny. I am 183 6 today. I wear a 14...that's not skinny....and I am still in the overweight bmi category. Dr says 160. I would love 159...that would be half my highest weight!!!

Hw 318 Sw 288.8 Cw 183.6

Haven't been on in awhile so I'm a bit late...I'm 5'9"...my doctor said aim for 160 so I have a little bounce back room. I think 169 makes me a "normal weight" I am about 187 right now and I'm definately not too thin. I have a lot more flab lol...mostly in my lower half.

I still can't get anything to work on the android app...this is really frustrating! I never use the PC for this! :-(

I can see that this thread is here but it takes me to the first page...when I use the arrows...or jump to page.. it said it doesn't exist. Anyone? Msg me!

This new app us weird..don't know if this will show up but today us 7 mos post op and I am in onederland!

Onederland today!!

Its "that" time of the month...I feel fat and bloated.....but....my "I feel fat pants" are now a 16 vs a 22/24. Also....although tops were lasting longer because they aren't as fitted...most of mine are too big now. I don't have one jacket that is even passable.

Those are cute. What brand/store. I need to find so something besides mom jeans!

Mine are always out of whack too! I don't have hepatitis... I'm not an alcoholic...lol. who knows? I feel fine.

Only down 1 lb....ugh....probably cuz I'm only 3 lbs from onederland

I have been wearing a 16. I wore some jeans that I bought a few weeks ago for the first time and were told they were too big. I have 3 pairs of long pants and a few capris but it is getting too cold to have those pass at work. I went to buy new pants. The 14s fit. I bought the 12s. I figure that by the time the 16s are way too big....the 12 will fit.

I was just telling someone today that my butt was wrinkly....and my thighs...and my boobs. Lol. I feel good with clothes on! :-)

I don't eat Pasta, rice, potatoes or bread at all either. I have had a tortilla in a pinch....but otherwise ther only carb I have added in was a bit of fruit. I have a hard enough fitting in enough Protein. I don't have room for pasta. Although, it would probably help me keep my calorie count up. Problem is I think it's a slippery slope.

I have about 44 too! Unfortunately I think I'm stalling. Scale is just going up and down the same lb or so. I teel blah today...didn't like anything I tried on etc! I need to hide the scale for awhile...and exercise....I have been slacking.

Had my 6 month follow up today. I was 208 on the doctors scale. Down from 288.8 dos/311 first appt. Most of my labs were good. I did have some liver levels that were a bit high and will need more investigation from my PCP. I also need to add a vit a supplement. One of my albumin levels was low. I need more Protein. I have been getting the min 60 required by my NUT and aim for higher but I guess it hasn't been enough. Of course when I said I have been adding a Protein shake back in...the dr wants me to use food. I can't eat that much! I asked about calories and was told under 1200. I have trouble getting to 900. I don't eat Pasta, rice, bread or potatoes. You can only eat so much! LOL. She was happy with my progress and said she expects ill hit 160 by one year....giving me a little "bounce back" room. So....48 lbs to go? I have my doubts!

I take a multi-vitamin 2x a day, vit d, b1, b12, iron & calcium but appatently my Vit A is still low.

I think I did butternut squash and black bean (it was smooth) and a shrimp bisque? All lowfat but at least there was flavor!

I was back to sleeping on my tummy at about 1 1/2 weeks. As for protein shakes...drink them slowly. It probably took me an hour per share at the beginning. The only fine I have been sick in almost 5 months I can attribute to drinking a shake too fast. Good luck! You will quickly find what works best for you!
