Surgery date 6/11 down 37 lbs and 66 since I started the program!

I've swallowed mine from the start, they don't bother me at a all, I don't even think they taste bad? Is that weird? Lol

I know it's only one month, but I was excited! Lol

Yea I had same thing! 6 holes with the drain tube... But no staples.... Just some terry strips which half of em fell of before my 2 wk appt anyway! And 3 stitches where the big incision was.... And that's it! So happy no staples for me !

I am 3 1/2 weeks out.... I was laparoscopic and I didn't have any staples... Just terry strips over my incisions, and a couple stitches where the bigger incision was. I'm pain free now, I can even sleep on my stomach again still not 100% get a little tired easier than before. But since I've added actual food back to my diet I feel sooo much better!!!!

Yep! I'm same way... 3 1/2 weeks out, I've eaten chicken... And jus had a couple bites of steak today! Yum! I only eat a little bit. Nothin bothers me yet...I only "felt" sick once when I ate too many Eggs! Lesson learned!

Ohh ok.... I guess I jus had a couple terry strips ok mine

Yea but where? What is being stapled? Or glued?? Sorry I'm lost!

I keep hearing everyone say getting their staples out?? I didn't have staples? Where r they?! Lol and I agree on muscle milk. Ick!

Was you on meds to prevent gall stones? I didn't have mine removed, but my doc put me on meds for 3 months to prevent them.

Reverse those quotes lol top pic 3 weeks later!

Day of surgery !!! 3 weeks later! 27# gone! I can tell in my face big time!!! So happy!

Y'all need to come on over to the June post ops side!!! Congrats!

My doc didnt take mine out, but also puts me on a med for 3 months to prevent gallstones from rapid weight loss.
