Lauren, thanks......

So today I've hit another ten pound loss, which I count as a huge success, I was due for a fine meal out, and three times I tried to get my husbands attention and all the man wanted to do was stare at an iPad screen reading the news! For Christ sake, I fit into a dress which I haven't been able to wear in two years, I wore jeans that was too small, now too big and boots that were too small for me now I can fit two fingers into it all closed up. I tried to look sexy and attractive but nothing seamed to catch his attention. Before I lost weight I felt like why bother, he's not attracted to me now. NOW I've lost 45 pounds and still, I can't seam to attract his attention. I just needed to vent!!!! On top of it all, I just don't feel he's supportive at all. Again I'm sorry for my rant.....I'm living in china with no one I really talk to about any of this!

Hello, I was sleeved June 25th but am dying for some Bariatric friends in Shanghai! Are there anyone living shanghai aswell? Saf

Just curious how people are doing also what are y'all eating?

So it turns out I've developed eczema. Funny because I've never had it before..........wonder what has brought it on now.

Quick question, I'm embarrassed to ask, but here I go...... I'm seven weeks out and have for no apparent reason broken out in a rash. Uncommon for myself as I've never had them except during chickenpox many years ago. Have any of y'all broken out in rashes/hives? If so, how are y'all treating it? I'm traveling a lot and really don't have the time to visit a doctor at the moment. All the best!

Just curious how much people have lost. End of July is coming up soon! I was sleeved June 25, at 245lbs and 4weeks 4days later I'm flown 215lbs. A 30 pound change! I'm Shocked!! Perhaps vacation helped, my doc gave me the ok to swim and first thing I did was book a ticket to the reef house and snorkeled several hours a day.

This is on FB? Is it closed or a private group?

Thanks for the tip:)

Hello everyone! Would y'all please share what you are eating during phase three, purée. I'm having such a hard time!

I'm using chewy vitamins from bariatric advantage. On their site you can customize what you need according to which operation you're having.

Thanks for the response, I greatly appreciate it. Living in a foreign land makes it difficult for me to attend support groups like we have back home(Texas) I really appreciate this site!

Hi there! I hope you're doing well, I flew in from China to have my operation in Houston where my parents live. I did a lot of research on which doctor I wanted to perform the operation, which I am so happy I did because. He did a phenomenal job. I had my operation on June 25, that was a Wednesday, Thursday I was still in the hospital, Friday and Saturday I had discomfort but walked around the house and I stayed in bed, but Sunday I was ready to go out, still taking it slow, and have a good time. Today make 2 1/2 weeks postop, and I am still feeling fantastic. My discomfort has gone, I have no pain, and no nausea. I am pretty much able to take down anything I want. I am lactose intolerant, so in that retrospect I still cannot have anything with dairy, which isn't a big deal because I couldn't have it before. My doctor wants me to do three weeks full liquid, three weeks puréed, and three weeks soft. The problem is, I feel so fantastic that I want to just skip to the next level and do two weeks, and then skip to the next level do two weeks. I am having such a hard time sticking to just full liquids. So far, I have lost 24 pounds (SW 245) since the operation on June 25. As far as Protein drinks goes, I am using Isopure which is lactose-free, and they actually taste great. I've been buying the package portions because I do travel a lot and it helps me to actually just have it in a pouch portioned where I can just shake it up and drink it. All in all, I wish you the best of luck. I think this is the best thing I have done so far and hope you feel the same too.

Hi I have a rather curious question if anyone knows: what happens if one eats chicken three weeks post-op? What effects does it take on the pouch and staple line?
