Mike I think you are doing great..Slow and steady is the healthiest way to lose!

Christina I did use a belly band that I normally wear to the gym..it did help getting up.

So excited for you!

Interesting to know.

Lol..sorry..I think that was me.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!

So sorry that y'all are in pain. Mine lasted about a week..The shoulder pain was the worst..I alternated heat and ice and moved around a lot.. Hope your pain eases soon.

Lol@stalking! I did that too! Can't give advice on your ins. Just wanted to say hi and welcome to you! I know you will find a lot of support here!

What litensweet said is true.. I was eating solid food before surgery.. On day 3 or 4, can't remember which now, I took a women's laxative because I really needed to go! Hope this helps.

Welcome and congratulations on your upcoming surgery! What 2 much fun said is absolutely true. There are so many wonderful supportive people on this site. I'm new on my journey..just 3 weeks post op. Anything you want to know, all you have to do is ask. Everyone is here for you!

Bulawookie you can do this girl!! Mike I hope you find your green zone soon!

So glad that we did this Emily! I just started this journey. So far I couldn't be happier! Here's to strong women!!!!

That's awesome plopez! Sorry junebug got a little confused for a moment! I have read of people going thru post op phases quickly though.

Great to know your doing better! Those first days can be rough.Take care of yourself and rest.

Hope you are OK??????

Congratulations!!! I had a hernia repair as well..my Dr just prescribed prilosec for the irritation, mine was more in my stomache because of all the meds I take. I have had no heart burn since my surgery. I had a night time cough that I was told was from the hernia. Thank God that's gone as well.

Wow...I was suppose to be liquids first week and full liquids for 2 more weeks. Wasn't suppose to start puree until Thurs but I cheated a few days early.. Crazy how different drs tell you different phases.

That's my problem right now. Not enough calories.

Cool..

Yay!!! Congratulations to you too redhead! Everything will be fine!

How has it been for you Chrissy?

I'm glad that you realized that. If a man doesn't understand then you Dont need him!!! My fiance was worried I'd lose weight and want to be single. Why? I asked him. He loved me with all the extra weight! You want a man that will love you overweight as well as skinny!! Life can be ugly sometimes. You want someone that loves you despite anything! I have an internal defibrillator due to a heart condition. Found myself single and dating again at 35.. I intentionally wore shirts so that the scar showed. I wanted to see who would tuck tail and run and who would stick around!!! Good luck to you on your 2 nd time around !!! And to everyone else, remember through this journey that you are beautiful!!! Love yourself and enjoy your life every day!

That is easier said than done!!!

Be sure to tell us how the fill goes. So curious about how it feels afterwards.

Lol..talked to my nut she said protein is the most important thing ..she said to keep my butt off of the scales..lol ohhh goodness!
