U have me laughing so loud I totally agree

Hi , I had surgery on May 29th I lost 31 lbs from starting weight was 241lbs .

Hi , I totally understand what you are going through because I am three weeks out and have never throw up so many times , I know when I eat purée foods and sometimes the smallest amount does that with a choking feeling . But I think we just have to heal and learn a whole new life style in eating , congrats on your sleeve and do what works for you .

Hi , are you using milk to make your protein shake? If u are , you should change to lactose free and make sure you are using gas x and some thing for the acid in your stomach , and you should call your Dr and ask him for a prescription for the acid meds , and having diarrhea does not mean you have to be hospitalize so please don't suffer call your Dr that's what he is there for. You are only prolonging your recovery cuz the longer you wait the more dehydrated you will get , you should also asked him if you can drink pedialyte to replace the electrolyte you loss . Good luck and congratulation on the new you .

Hi I am in my third week today and the only people I told was my boyfriend and my two daughters and I have their support and I have six siblings the reason I did not tell them is because of the gossip and negative comments, even though we say we are not going to let what they say bother us it do , so I know I did not want it to hamper my healing, I told them I had a hernia repair after the surgery. So don't let them put u down cuz they will never understand unless they have to live with being heavy and struggle everyday. God bless and congratulation on the new you .

Notting I did not know I have to do that

Yes I had a hernia repair, it feel like its muscles and holding or putting my hand on the area when I walk or get up help can you tell me how long it last ? . Thanks for your reply
