I just got home last night from my rny on the 9th..whoever says we are taking the easy way out are full of crap! But everyday will get better just gotta have faith.

Tonight my hubby fell asleep in his lazyboy about an hour after I got home from work. So I went shopping. Three hours, a coat, two sweaters, a blouse, a complete holiday outfit, and two bras later I got home to him still in his chair. :-) Wait till he sees the credit card bill. That'll teach him to doze off and leave me bored w/nothing to do! Lol
12P's and medium tops! And I'm no longer a D-cup - I've gone from a 44D to a 38C. I really needed a better fitting bra! :-)

Yay...it went great Not sick at all. Liquid does get pretty tough!!!! Good luck to you!!

It'll be 6 weeks for me tomorrow.. I had my first salad yesterday, and it was so good.. Small, but good! Things get better once you get to add food back.. I cheated during my puree phase all the time, but I made sure it was super small quantities and chewed really well.. Just go slow and be careful!!!

I was bad. My husband had eggs for dinner and they smelled so good, I stole a bite of his egg...mostly yoke. I'm just so tired of broth!

Saw this today and loved it. You?
15 things Jesus Didn’t Say:
“For God was so disgusted with the world and you that he gave his one and only Son.”
“I have come to bring you a new religion.”
“By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have correct theology.”
“If anyone would come after me, let him disparage all other religions and their followers.”
“If you love me, you will regularly attend a church of your choice… within reason.”
“Blessed are the tithers for they shall be called the children of God.”
“Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in Heaven after the earth goes up in flames and destroyed.”
“You have heard it said, ‘Love your neighbor,’ which means the people with whom you attend church and relate to in your Christian sub-culture.”
“In my Father’s house there are a limited number of rooms. But no worries, there is plenty of room in Hell.”
“The kingdom of God has come!… Well, not exactly. I mean, not completely. Let’s face it, the really-real kingdom comes after we die. Hang in there. It won’t be long.”
“And you will know the truth and the truth will make you superior to all the other simpletons who never learned Greek or Hebrew.”
“You are the light of the world… well… in a sinful-filthy-scum kind of way.”
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you a checklist of things to do and not do in order to remain in God’s favor.”
“For God so loved the world… you know like theoretically… as in, God loves the big ‘W’-world. But when it come to you specifically, that are quite a few things that would need to change for God to actually and specifically love… or even like… YOU.”
“He appeared to his disciples over a period of 40 days and spoke about how to incorporate his life and teaching as a 501©3, and go into all the earth to build mega-churches in his name.”

Be mindful that all bariatric surgeons aren't skilled in every type of bariatric surgery. There are surgeons out there that will discourage you from having a surgery that they don't perform. I would try to find a surgeon that is skilled in both surgeries so that you can get an unbiased assessment of the best surgery for you.

Whoop! Whoop! I'm down 4 1/2 inches since the last time I took my measurement Oct. 15th. I'm so happy!

I am so sorry to see that so many of you are struggling so much right now. The beginning of this journey is not an easy one. It's hard to adjust to our new tummies and diets, especially when the rest of the world is around us eating the most delicious smell foods and the food commercials haunt us. But it's really important to remember WHY we chose to make this decision, our health, to feel comfortable in the space of our own bodies and to live more fun active lives. I have got a wonderful support group of people who have been down this road before me and not a one of them regrets their decision. That's such a driving force for me getting through the rough spots. I hope that you all start to get better and over the hump soon.

Two weeks tomorrow.
Just as my incisions begin to feel a little better....now my pouch isn't playing nice. I haven't vomited or anything, but my stomach just aches- all the time I just want to feel normal again

Unless it came in regards to my wife, hormones were the farthest thing from my mind. I'm only what, four days out and I spent all day crying like my 4 or 6 yr old daughters. I'm 38 and don't cry ever in front of my girls. My girls came home today from in-laws and my daughter gets me crying b/c she drew a book for me.
After telling my wife today that this was the biggest mistake of my life, and crying on HER shoulder for once, she mentioned that the things I'm saying were the things she said during post-pardum (sp?) she had after our first.
Prolly TMI for guys but I know I'm not the only guy that has the WTF moment during the first week.
