      You look great, more importantly, how do you feel? If you feel as good as you look you are doing very well.

      I feel very good since surgery happened.

    Could some one please give me instructions on how to post under recent topics. I can't figure out how.

      So, it's not an app you use? It's just the safari browser? You should be able to see the reply window at the bottom of the page? Or, at the top of the page is a button that says "write a reply"? Is this what you're asking or are you trying to start a new topic? If you're trying to start a new topic, just go to the forums page and find the specific forum you want to start a new topic and click on "Start New Topic"? If this doesn't work for you, just ask Alex Brecher

    I ate a miniature bagel. My first time eating it and it's killing me. I'm so uncomfortable. I guess that is the first and last time I eat those.

    1. Kitt3000

      Kitt3000

      Did you toast it first? (No not with a glass! :-). )

    2. Chelly

      Chelly

      You're funny Kitt.

      My bagel wasn't a grown up one it was a baby bagel so it didn't fit in the toaster to get tanned. LOL

      I feel 100% better now.

      you're lucky it was a tiny tiny tiny one.....I made the same mistake on what was once one of my main bread sources.....

       

      In any case, I never eat them now because of that very thing.

       

      English muffins, even when toasted, clog my Band up too.

      As does wonderfully fresh French/Italian bread.

       

      Thankfully, or I'd be eating lots of it in spite of knowing better.

       

      No bagels with that, please....*kaff*kaff*.....

  7. Chelly

    I'm in shock. I just put on a pair of size 10 Old Navy jeans and they fit. These were my work into size and now I'll have to return them for size 8. LOL

      Actually I've lost 179 lbs since 2006. So lost weight before I decided to have surgery last year. Surgery was the best gift I could give myself.

  9. Chelly

    For the first time ever since surgery I over ate at a restaurant and I'm in a lot of pain. Anyone have suggestions to relieve it.

    1. BladeFox

      BladeFox

      Throw up.

    2. Chelly

      Chelly

      I'm better now but I've definitely learned a lesson not to ever do that again.

      It takes only one time to know! I got some food stuck and it took me 4 hours to get it up and out. I have done that two additional times and it was a much shorter experience. Thank God!!! Glad to see you're ok.

    Thinking of changing my goal weight to a lower number. I've been encouraged to do so by several people. Even the surgeons office too.

    1. Mrs.RRn

      Mrs.RRn

      Get to your goal 1st and then "revise." That's what I did. I feel some sort of accomplishment bc I'm not sure if I'll hit my revised goal.

  14. Chelly

    I once weighed 350 lbs and now over the years and with gastric bypass surgery last year I have lost 167 lbs total. I'm pretty proud of myself.
