I'm gonna go with 'NOT A DAMN THING' for $500!

Hi all! What is the total amount of carbs I should have per day? Thx!

Hi all! Am I the only one who's freakin freezing after vsg?

Lmfao...., I trusted one like 2 weeks ago... It wasn't pretty! ????????

Hi all! I have a tough time getting all my Water in. What is your opinion on the Crush water enhancers? What have you found to be a good Water Enhancer?

I was sleeved 12/26/14 but I'll definitely walk w you!

I thought to ask based on hormones and the effects different pills/patches/iud's could have on you

Hi all! For those of you who have hypothyroidism like me, post surgery, have you visited your endocrinologist & had a change to your meds? Have you stopped taking them, or got a lower dosage? Thanks!

Hello all! What have you found to be the best, long term contraceptive to use after surgery? Thank you!

Hello everyone! Let's get right into it! I was sleeves on 12/26/14 & got my period 2 weeks late on 1/15. My periods have always been on the heavier side, but I got on birth control 5 months ago & it was super light. We'll, lol... This period is seriously, from hell! It is SUPER heavy & With plenty of blood clots. Cramps are terrible and I can sit on my toilet & just feel everything come out. I called my OBGYN & they said it was normal & not to worry. However, I still made an appointment just to be sure. Are periods this heavy normal after surgery? I mean like, wear 2 pads heavy! Sorry for all the TMI ????

Ive been doing the Zico coconut water. How much do you think is okay to drink a day? The whole liter? It has 11 g of carbs & 9 g of sugar.

Hi! I also have pcos & hypothyroidism. How much weight have u lost?

Hi! Just found this post and I too have pcos & hypothyroidism. How much weight have you lost to date?

Yes, I agree. Im going to make it just one of these. I'll confirm w my nutritionist on the amount of onz. And now that u say it, no.. I'm no where near drinking all the water I should and I am definitely going to change this so that I can. That's what I love this app. Talking to people and their experiences you learn more about what not to do. I guess that I was so focused on getting all the protein in I forgot the water

First, I love when i find your comments. You know so much, lol. I am 3 weeks out. My nutritionist says aim for 2 Protein shakes w 1/2 banana & two 6 onz puréed meals a day. Oh & the ground turkey is in the chilli & the ham is in the black bean soup.

I have no issue eating the 6 onz. I've had no problems w anything post op.

Hello all! ???? So I'm on the puréed stage and my nutritionist said I can eat anything I can eat anything I can purée. Well, I can't wait till tomorrow to call & ask her so here's my question: I seriously love Beans so I made chilli w ground turkey, vinegar peppers, & beans. I also made black beans & garbanzo Soup w 98% fat free ham steak, puréed everything. It taste soooo good I almost feel like I shouldn't be having it, lol. Is it okay to have two 6 onz of this a day?

Congratulations. Yay! This is great!

I'm so happy I found this, my weight in DOS was 246 . I'm 11 days out and am 228. Seeing this gives me hope. Thank you! You look FANTASTIC!

Thanks Everyone! Bufflehead, Elode & SuperDave ???? TaurusLady I've gotten up to my 3 shakes a day maybe 1 bottle of Water, some apple sauce & broth. Friday I can move up to mouthy stuff. I'm having a purée party that day, lol. I'm very happy to hear bout your 64 lbs. that's GREAT!! Peki31 yes! I didn't even think of that! Thank you.

Morning all! :-) So I've been doing everything I'm suppose to be doing up to this point. Already drinking my 3 Protein shakes a day. Can someone tell me why in the blue hell I've gained 3 lbs?!? Lol, I wasn't able to go to the bathroom but been taking Miralax for constipation but seriously, someone encourage me. Have a great week!

Update: lol, finally went today & so constipated ????....???? I'll take miralax until I can call my doc Monday

Thanks everyone. I just wanted to know. It's not like I feel like I have to go, but it just dawned on me that I hadn't, lol. Also & I don't know if this has anything to do with it, I can barely finish my 3 Protein shakes a day. Let alone drink Water. I'm just super full & if I push it I get bad hiccups & gas.

Hi everyone! Sorry, for the yucky subject but a girls gotta know, lol. So I was sleeved on 12/26/14 and pooped on 12/30 and haven't pooped since. What is considered normal when it comes to pooping after surgery? Should I be concerned? Thanks!
