  3. I am six months out and cheating way too much as well. I found out I don't dump and that is a bad thing because I can eat sweets and must stop. This is a great discussion.
  4. I ate too fast tonight. I had surgery on 12/18 and this is the first time I have been sick. It was not fun.

  9. You have a great daughter and a beautiful ring. Peace Laura
  10. Have fun, start with a 2x and then just try on down from there until you find your right size. The smaller clothes are the fun part of all this hard work. Peace Laura
  11. I am two weeks out as of today and I have a new issue, I get queasy when I get up and do things, like take a shower and get dressed. I am concerned because I was planning on going back to work on Monday. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas? Peace Laura
  12. I am two weeks out and have some of the same issues. I have started setting the timer on my phone and I eat something every two hours. I am hoping this will up my calorie intake and give me more energy. Good luck to all, and we are all going to make it through this phase. Peace Laura

  14. This is truly a new year and new life for many of us and it will be a new year for those with upcoming surgeries. Good luck, prayers and best wishes to all. Peace, Laura
  15. Yes, mine hurts. I don't carry weight in my rear, but I think that is where I am losing and so there is no padding. If I could only move some of my stomach to my rear things might be better. Laura

  17. Every surgeon is different. My surgery was one week ago today and I have been moved to puréed, including eggs. I get to move to soft food next week. I have had no problems eating or drinking Water. I am not hungry and I set a timer to eat and drink and I eat less than 1/2 cup at a time. I eat lots of Greek yogurt which is a great way to get a lot of Protein. Good luck and Happy New Year. Laura
  18. I am 3 days post op and what hurts is the hernia they found and repaired. I have walked, have had no problems with any foods and can sip water all the time. I hope my recovery continues like this.
  19. I am one day post op and am already at home and I understand your pain. So far I have not found a painkiller that works. Sitting down getting up are the worst and I'm not even thinking about lying on the bed because I never would get up. I think we just have to hang in there until our bodies adjust.
  20. I take it now pre-op, but I am supposed to take it for six months after.
