How big of a nono is sweet tea? I am completely ok not drinking cokes, but I'm growing sick of Water and the flavor packets.... I'm really wanting a cold glass of sweet tea!!!

Yesterday I tried on a size 20 jean... and I am about 10 lbs away from being able to comfortably wear them. I went from a size 26/28 down to almost a 20 in around 2 months!!!!

I'm a little over 2 months out and I still don't want food. I know I'm supposed to eat 4 times a day but I'm lucky to eat once because I just DON'T WANT FOOD . I don't think I have experienced a hunger feeling since before surg

Omg these past few weeks have been driving me nuts!!!. I don't want to eat. Things I'm supposed to eat I can't cuz it makes me.sick and I hate the taste. I'm lucky to eat once a day and hold it down. I miss dr pepper and sweet tea. I want bread and I didn't even like bread that much before surgery! I wanna cry. Seriously. I had my sugary may 18th and I'm down 40 lbs. I'm so thankful for the sugery, but hate not feeling "normal"

I was at the same state.. Still am kinda... But I just took a step back and am drinking Protein Shakes and nutrition shakes to be up and about through the day. Forget about food and go back to liquid. I got super depressed from being sick and tired so my doctor suggested that I would go back to liquid and fuel my body with what what it needs instead of trying to eat and failing..

It kinda makes you have buyers remorse to a degree doesn't it? The only thing is my doc wants us off of the shakes at 6 weeks and eating. I just don't see how that's possible. I'm almost a month out and the things that they said I can / should be eating make me feel like crap afterward. On a positive note im,dropping the pounds like crazy ????

I feel sick every time I eat ????

The mind games after surgery are all most too much for me. I don't want to ear at all. Period. I went from trying to stop myself from eating to now I forces myself to eat. I've lost 37 lbs since my.surgery date 05/18.,but I don't SEE it at all. My clothes are a little more loose, but my mind tells me nothing has changed. I don't like eggs, cottage cheese, or chicken anymore like I did prior to surgery.... I'm a mess

I am craving bread, especially deep dish pizza!!! So I'm feeling you... Wonder do we get to eat bread again

Thank u! Glad ur feeling better

This is so crazy. I hardly even ate bread before surgery, but now I miss it. I miss eating a sandwich lol is that not crazy? I can't imagine trying to eat beead. The thought of it makes my stomach hurt, but the craving is still there. Anyone experience similar?

It's an upper resp. Infection :/ I wanna go to bed. It's kicking my rear.

I'm at a doc now. My pcp couldn't see me til Tuesday and my surgeon is 1/2 way across the state. I decided to go to a diff doc just to make sure it's a bug or somethin

Definitely call your surgeon. This doesn't sound like something you want diagnosed by strangers without medical degrees on the Internet. Pneumonia is a very real post-surgery risk.

I just wanna know if anyone may have developed it if that was any of their symptoms. I would hate to drive 3 hours one way over a cold

Hey guys. Everything has went so smooth after my surgery! I judt got back from vacation, but the past 3 days I have had a horrible cough and now my throat hurts pretty bad. No fever. I did forget to pack my spirometer... could it be pneumonia?

Well got the call today letting me know what time to check in tomorrow and 11am it is!! It's a little later than I would've wanted but I'm not going to complain.

I also found out I have no out of pocket cost to be paid before my procedure...it will be covered 100%!! I guess with all my pre op stuff I met my max, which I know I have to pay but I've made arrangements on all those balances and have a nice low monthly payment so I couldn't ask for a better outcome ????

This experience has been so smooth and positive and I have to give all thanks to God. I'm ready for my new beginning and can't wait to see what's in store for me in the future!!

How did it go

You know what? You're right. I love proving people wrong and living above the standard. That's going to be my drive. I will not be who they think I will be. They have no idea what I can accomplish. Everyone is different. No matter what gender you are.

My sister is overweight like me and she has been a thorn in my dang side. I don't know if it's a jealousy thing or she's just hating on me or what. When I told her I lost 18 lbs in 8 days her response was well if u lose it fast u gain it back fast. Made me wanna punch her in the throat lol. I've learned to just over look her though. Haters gonna hate right?

Hang in there..... You will be ok. I can't wait to eat next Wednesday. Ugh I want a scrambled egg with cheese

I tried and it didn't go so well... it was super dry and not good to me lol

I haven't even had the surgery yet and I'm already afraid to eat! Afraid I'll mess up my surgery or I'll hurt myself, afraid I'll get sick, or WORSE gain weight!

I'm scared I'll get sick or I'll eat way too much...

Did/does anyone have a fear of eating post op? I am literally afraid to eat alot of times. They put me on soft foods now and I'm scared to actually do it....

Amazing job! I'm 8 days out. I'm hoping to be in ur shoes!

That is an amazing loss! Congratulations! Can't wait for mine!

That is an amazing loss! Congratulations! Can't wait for mine!

Congrats. It all goes by pretty quick! U will be back home and dropping lbs in no time!

Good for you....

My doc wants us off them at 6 weeks
