This is me. Surgery was 6/23/14. You can also follow my blog here. http://www.bigfatloserblog.com Before - 385 After - 289 http://i.imgur.com/wp02ZHj.jpg

So I had surgery 6/23. I had great weight loss up until I was allowed semi solid foods. Since that time, I have put on 6 lbs. Is this normal? I know that I seem to snack a lot through out the day. But it's typically like some cheese or yogurt. I was just concerned, and wanted to hear some friendly advice.

Ouch! I had surgery on the 23rd. 2 days after getting home I'm having a severe gout flare up. I use to take a prescription nsaid called indomethacin, that would clear it right up. However, that's a huge no go now. It has been very difficult not to dip my hand in the prescription bottle in a fit of desperation. Luckily my surgeon refilled my pain meds, but I will be out by Tuesday. Any advice please?

The article touts that the percentage is 80 to 85 within the first 2 years. I wanted to start a discussion on this because I found it quite interesting.

It's funny to me because she is such a hypocrite. She speaks of hating intolerance (homophobes, sexist etc). However, does she not realize that she is being intolerant by acting like this? In my opinion WLS is a lifestyle choice. You are doing it for your personal reasons. If she doesn't agree with it, then that is fine, but ending a friendship over it is intolerant. It's just as bad as ending a friendship because you decide to date outside of your race, or date someone of the same sex, or choose a religion she doesn't agree with. You don't need hypocrisy or intolerance in your life right now. You need positive people. You are better off without her. My guess is that it's either due to jealousy, or it's a way to cause drama and gives her something to blog about.

I want cream soup too!! I read some people could have meat and veggies too...I'm like uhmm that would be nice! I screwed up and cheated last night. I read up and apparently the diet is really important to shrink your liver and avoid potential issues during surgery.

I don't want to be be skinny, honestly. I want to be at a weight that I feel confident and I am healthy. I also have never preferred skinny women over a healthy (read curvy) woman. That stood even before I was a heavy guy. I just think girls that are skinny look fragile and not attractive. I think everyone's goals should be to feel good about yourself. When you can look in the mirror and be happy with your results, you have succeeded. Personally I would like to get to a 36-38 in waist and a XL-2XL shirt.

Congrats so are you on liquid diet? No, I'm on nutrimed..Its like 2 Protein bars, 3 shakes, and one "meal" per day. By "meal" I mean a powder that I mix with Water and microwave and it turns into "Chili"

I'm eating nutrimed. Man, this thing is tough. I started Monday, and I simply do not like ANYTHING that I got. Everything leaves my stomach feeling gross and bloated. I know the importance of this diet, but I just want a real meal. Somebody save me!

6/23 sleever here too.

If you are talking about my website, I can do either. I haven't tried to make a blog entry on this website from my phone but I see no reason why it wouldn't work

Done! I went ahead and started a blog here and posted the last handful of posts from my site. Thanks for the help and advice.
