BEST PLACE TO SHOP DURING THIS TIME ,JUST SAVE $$$$$ FOR NEW WARDROBE TO COME WHEN GOAL IS MADE. GREAT JOB LOSING!!!

Post op they prefer us all have things w/7grams of sugar or less just as an it dr ok. V8splash is only2grams of sugar per 8oz so you should be safe there &Crystal light is sugar free,the reason to keep sugar servings below7grams is to prevent dumping & believe me I have dumped from time to time due to healthy menus @cracker barrel &o Charles, a waitress brought me a baked sweet potato but put Brown sugar inside POTATO &I only tasted it on tip of tongue then got sick within 5mins.but the juices I til u about my surgeon gave me &old to have them but I prefer water mostly

My list of food/drinks included diet v8splash,crystal light

Try diet v8 juice tropical blend flavor w/1scoop of plain protein use shaker bottle,it mixes easy &taste great w/20grams of protein per scoop. Try it before surgery even w/berry flavor ,also sold at Wal-Mart for $2 bottle.

Also shop at goodwill cause it comes off quickly & you can save $$$ g or wardrobe after goal is made.

Take only cell phone &charger, loose clothing for ride home toothbrush/paste , glasses if you wear them I didn't take my contacts. Magazine or book if you like to read the hospital puts 2gowns on you so no robe needed . When I got home I used ice packs across stomach even when sleeping plus pain meds they issue, dont even try doing/lifting anything til dr gives go ahead it could set u out back.

Great news & will pray for healing of incusions farmgirl.

I'm easy to buy for all I wanted was new (Bosch) wipers along w/spark plugs,custom fit glass for my new coffee table,Victoria's secret gift card ( New bras &panties)needed, nice heater since I stay cold always, I'm surprised that he was even listening but it's what I wanted &got it... I'm not a big jewelry person due to that fact I'm unable to wear it to work, I work in auto plant.

How long since your weightloss surgery did you get the tuck? They say wait 18months before tuck. Also yes call your dr Monday if no answer listen to their msg on what to do.try using a ice pack on incision it helps contract tissue/skin .

Drink more water and protein drinks . My favorite protein drinks are diner v8 splash w/1scoop off plain protein make it 16 or 20oz..

Great job

I was a size 22 in July also & now a size 10 we got this ..

Eat more protein 60_80grams a day

Mac & cheese was 2% milk & whole grain pasta also Turkey is full of protein

I had a tbsp of Mac&cheese,Turkey BREAST 3 oz,2 tsp of taters &was stuffed,

That's nice to know,thanks

I hope so but recovery time is my worry

Yes pain is on right side . It got so bad going into chest area I thought it was hart attack, pulls muscle & chest cold all@ same time. Painful it is..

I found 2 pair of pants yesterday for $4 each size 12 & still a bit big far from size 22 in pants but I still feel fat only in smaller pants.

Thanks I gotta schedule a ultrasound next week.

Nothing yet for gallbladder hoping to talk to Dr this am before my follow up endoscopy in an Heather.

Anyone have gallbladder issues before or after surgery? I'm almost 5months post open & think gallbladder is going ..so many symptoms appearing now...painful.

Congratulations, I'm also a July 22nd but only lost 64lbs so far&my name is sherri scheffler what a coincidence. Keep on losing my friend
