  1. <p>My surgery was June 5th. I am feeling good. Down 13 pounds so far. I also have a little pain in my upper abdomen. I seen my dr. on Friday, he said it is normal. That is the area were my internal stitches are, and I may feel a sharp pain from time to time. I am off the tynenol/pain medication and feeling ok. Having some head hunger issues at night, I came a long way to go back to the old me!</p> <p> </p> <p>Can't wait for my transformation!</p>

    Sounds like my issue. I haven't been hungry but the the memory of flavors and taste make me want to eat it. Mmmmm mexican food!


  2. I have my surgery scheduled for Monday the 16th at 9:50...I am excited and nervous..any of you ladies that already have had the surgery have any suggestions about wearing a bra after the surgery?? With my gall bladder removal, I had one incision right where by bra lays but I went home and did not wear one and did not care..but if I am at the hospital and walking around I want to be decent but not in pain...

    I was in a hospital gown with an IV for 3 days. My gown was huge and I didn't give a rats ass about how I looked. I was focused on not being sick. With the IV in it will be hard to get a bra on. You will need nurses assistance.

    I wore my bra leaving the hospital but sports bra for the first couple days podt.


  3. Hello everyone! I had my surgery on tuesday, June 2nd in CA. 24 hr stay in the hospital with lots of walking and no complications. I nursed my belly and walked a lot over the course of that week. Started having mild right upper abdominal pain. Returned to work monday. Monday night the pain was a sharp, tearing feeling when changing positions. Did any one else have these pains? Now its saturday, pain is dulling and only ever in the right upper abd. Stopped narcotics back in monday except sometimes to aid sleep. I've been getting 50-64 oz of liquids and 90-110 g Protein daily. Sticking to liquids for 2 weeks and dreaming of cottage cheese! Down 12lbs since returning home from hospital. I cant wait to see us all transform into healthier versions!

    Oh i wanted to add the secret to my Protein intake is syntax nectar unflavored whey. I love it! I add 2 scoops to everything and it doesn't alter the flavors. High recommend!
