I just hope the feeling goes away soon because this is why I had the surgery...so I don't go in to a food coma everytime I eat

Transformation Tuesday! I'm officially in ONEderland! Starting weight 272 and current weight 199.5. Surgery 6/4/13! Go me!

Is anyone else having trouble with a nasty taste in mouth, making it hard to tolerate any liquids?

Well just got back home from my EGD. I did have a stricture they said it was so small they couldn't get the camera down. So fhey stretched it out, and I'm hoping this will be the only time. I woke up in more pain than I expected, but I think it was mostly on from the gas they use. Now I'm not experiencing near as much discomfort .... hoping no one else ends up with this problem

Cantaloupe is a great idea because it is loaded with potassium. Great idea. I think I will get some. Im so worried about my potassium and never want an IV infusion of it ever again.

I only appear to have one and half chins instead of two:)

Went for my first postop appointment today and found out that I'm coming along fine and can go to regular foods in one more week. Yes!!

I am 8 months post op. I like to say that I eat normal foods in abnormal amounts. There is only ONE thing that I can think of that I have wanted since surgery but haven't eaten. That's an Oreo. I don't know exactly why...I have eaten fast food: McDonald's, Taco Bell, Subway...I have eaten regular restaurant food: Chili's, Outback, Cheesecake Factory. I eat very little of what I order, so I get what I want but try to make mindful choices. I have lost 105# since surgery on 10/05.

I just want to quickly post the names of everyone who will be going in for surgery this week. Please pray or send them good thoughts as surgery isn't easy and we will all be facing it soon. Good luck to our friends who go in this week! I will pray hard for your safety, peacefulness, and healing throughout everything. Love my Junebugs! <3
