No bread!! Peanut Butter will most likely sit very heavy in your sleeve also. Have eggs, Refried Beans, Greek Yogurt, Cottage Cheese instead

How about Vitafusion gummies? They taste great & no swallowing necessary!! They also make a great Fiber Gummy!

Sometimes with rapid weight loss... The shifting of our insides, muscles and such can cause a nerve to be pinched. The burning , stabbing pain you described does sound like nerve pain. When you lose more weight things readjust again and the nerve gets unpinched and goes back to normal. Hope this helps!

Congrats!! Good luck with your Pre-Op. I start my Pre-Op tomorrow morning & surgery is the 25th.

I've suffered with Migraines since I was a teen, with no successful relief. I would literally just have to wait it out :/ late last year my Neurologist gave me Zebutal. It is wonderful!! I take 3( for the real nasty migraines) every 4 hours as needed. It usually takes it away within the first dose!! 3 of my daughters get PMS migraines and they take 1-2 depending and it works for them also ( they are 15, 13, & 11).

I just had a bunch of Polyps removed (2nd Endo) and was told I had extreme amounts of stomach bile. My GI says I will be fine to move forward with VSG as planned & just to make sure I take my Prilosec & Sucralfate as prescribed.

Oh Jo,
You did this to yourself to bring your body to a better place!! You are in the middle of recovering from a life changing surgery! You will have soooo many emotional hurdles to overcome ( most will be your own head games). Relax, let your body and soul take the time it needs to recharge & reconnect with your "new" self!!
Most importantly, just because your Husband's son was born from your heart instead of your belly does NOT mean you are not a real Mommy!!!! You LOVE him that is the only thing that matters

I think it's especially damaging to our fragile in transition psyches when this competition takes place here.
Yesterday was a day of behind the scenes comparisons.. I felt a comparison and competition where there should be none.
I am older? I am lazy? Yes you've done better than me?
Which one? I will say it. To be free of the comparison that does nothing but tear down my own personal success.
Or was that the intent..
Be proud, and I will be proud. You are not me, I am not you..
