I did the same thing as I wanted to know what was going to cause me problems or so I told myself. I was able to get back on track once I got it out of my system.

My fav.....homemade refried beans and soft scrambled eggs with salsa.

My new favorite protein shake includes coffee. I have not resumed drinking more than that though.

Facebook, Bariatricpal, and fitness pal. Starting to like shopping.......

Since you mentioned being in the er, I would guess that they checked you for strictures?

Know anyone with a metal detector? Not sure if it would work if it fell under the porch because of the clearance. Maybe a hoe to scrape it out?

That is truly disturbing. All we want is to be healthy. Prayer to you and your daughter.

I am so sorry and got tears as I read this. One of the reasons I got RNY was because of my mom. Not just her weight but her lack of enjoying life and her mental health have both been an influence. Her weight ballooned along with mine but has not gone down. My dad still gives her things she should not have. We are still able to care for her at home but she is declining too fast. I can only hope to influence my parents diet with healthier options. God bless!

I too got so use to not wearing smaller necklaces that I too was shocked that they now fit comfortably. I love these surprises!

It does seem to be different for each person. I had no pain medicine from end of day two. Never had an injectable pump in hospital either. Was I comfortable at all times....no but it was tolerable and was only hurting for a few seconds when turning from side to side in bed. It appears that certain nerves can be cut or inflamed increasing pain in others. Hang in there.

Chilli with black beans

I can bring it up with little effort. I try to catch it before it becomes a problem as I don't want this to become an automatic response.

I did not feel hunger but I did experience rumbling and some burning but it felt different to me then hunger pangs.

6 to 12 month program is common.

Yes the "Penny" episode was sad. I would expect that the show would have more mental health treatment. There's no way anyone can get that heavy without some serious issues going on.

If you look back on topics you will see I posted the same thing two weeks out. Just concentrate on water and protein. I was allowed by dr and could eat more things then others too. I personally was glad because I can only stand the shakes once a day or two, lol.

Perfectly normal but a prayer sent! See you on the losers bench.

Geez, I am so sorry. Let us know what the issue is. Prayers to you for a quick recovery.

Homemade spaghetti sauce with lean hamburger. Yummy!

I would go to emergency room or clinic. Get treatment while you can. It could be lots of things. Gallbladder, twisted bowl. No need to chance it if you are having that much pain.....sorry just retread that u have no insurance.....call your dr anyway.

If your lifting weights you may have to track by body measurements too. I need to do this myself.

I have had this at different times even if I felt that I was going slow and or chewing well. If I continue then I will have to throw up. If I wait for it to settle then most times it goes down. It's like learning another language.
