  1. I just friended you on Facebook ????
  2. Congrats on the 9lbs ???? that's awesome.. I have fleeting moments of head/stomach hunger.. It's still rather confusing..
  3. Oh goodness, I hope you get better soon. Do you have to go to surgeons office or regular doctor? Sorry I don't have any words of wisdom ???? take care of yourself and know it'll get better soon.. It really will ????
  4. You are pretty close to me. I love it down south.
  5. What a small world then, did you have a chance to visit Charlotte much? It's a pretty city. I'll get up to that part of the U.S. One day.
  6. I live in Anaheim Ca. About 2 miles from Disneyland. Lived here all my life.I've never been to that side of the world yet. One day ???? I've always heard how beautiful it is.
  7. I've been there before, loved the king of Prussia mall.. I had training up there 15 yes ago. I'm from Charlotte NC .. Been here most of my life. I was born in Louisiana while my father was in the army, but my family are from Michigan.Very interesting that not only have you heard of King of Prussia, you've been here before. And yes , first thing people say is " great mall". Lol. It is a great mall , not being much of a shopper , I'm not there much. I live about a mile from that mall. So your in NC, how nice. I hear how southerns are so nice and hospitable. So not the case with Northerns. Well I consider myself nice. Just saying we have reputation of being rude and move / talk fast. Anyway, I feel pretty good today. And I also am no longer taking pain meds. Today is 12 days out for me. Oh , going to grocery store today, getting ready for when I can start eating soft / puréed. I did "cheat" a little this morning. Had a bit of Greek yogurt. Went down nicely without a problem. Don't wanna push it to quickly.I'm not much of a mall person either. But yes it was a great mall. Yes us southerners are mostly friendly, and I know not all northerners are rude lol. We just love everyone down south, and want to make sure you don't need a cold glass of something for refreshment ????I started a day early with sampling puréed food and no issues. Glad to hear you had no issues with yogurt.
  8. I'm noticing, more movement on my part has helped with the kicked my butt feeling. It wiped me out to. I think part of it for me was , being on those pain meds for so long made me so drowsy and lethargic. And it just added to the kicked butt part. Now I'm off of it, I'm so much better.

  10. It's amazing how a good poop makes you feel great. Your niece is a cutey And your prize , well that's best prize ever, who doesn't wanna be a princess ( at least it looks like a princess tiara in ur pic ).She is a cutie ❤️ and I agree on bathroom issue. More exlax for me today ????
  11. no pills that have to be swallowed ???? I use all of these everyday with no discomfort or sick feeling after taking. Good luck.
  12. Is it a reaction to something? I had a client today that ended up being allergic to something in the glue holding her wounds together. It caused a lot of discomfort and she had to have doctor look at it. They told her to take Benadryl. Definitely have you PCP look at it if it gets worse. Good luck ????Would I be cool just to take some Benadryl to see what happens?!It's your call hun not mine. I'm not a doctor and would hate for you to have a reaction. I'm not sure if that's an NSAID type medicine. Definitely be safe.. ????It's not an NSAID! But I decided to just try and get the rest of the surgical scrub off and leave the area alone for awhile to see if that'll do it!Good luck I hope it works for ya..

  14. I'm in the exact same spot as you off and on these last few days. I had Gastric Bypass May 5th, so just a few days bed you. At my heaviest I was 347. Pre-op diet I lost 16 and then first week post-op I lost 17, to a grand total of 33 list in 3 weeks. Our bodies have been through so much, and its hardcore frustratingly not easy at times. And as a guy we are taught not to cry about anything or not complain because we are guys. But F*#k that, we deserve to let go of all that got us fat in the first place. I think it pretty normal to mourn food for all that it meant to us. It was a friend, comfort and so many other things to me. And hell we had to give that up, and what do we have to replace it with now? Nothing yet really. I'm still to fat to go hiking or be more active like I want yet. But I know that day is on the horizon now. We've made the hardest step already, now we just see the pounds come off. Right? And it's so much more than how I've mentioned obviously. Good luck on your journey. Hit me up if you ever need a sounding board. And sorry if I rambled or didn't quite make sense lol

  16. GrandDaddy is so right!!! And I made a list of all the reasons why I wanted to lose Weight, and every time I wanted to eat I read my list. And I probably read that list 5-6 times an hour those first few days. I just busied myself when I felt the head hunger try and take over. The rewards are so much greater, I dropped 16 pounds on my 2 week pre-op. And I was so proud I did it. You ca do it to. I have faith in you ????good luck ????
  17. I love going through this with you guys to ????❤️ it is a major plus knowing others are having same reactions as I.. I'm Jaysen Mansfield-Jarrett on Facebook if anyone wants to friend me there. Just let me know who you are so I accept friend request. I don't friend just anyone lol
  18. I have missed food, and missed eating. Both certainly "Head Hunger" Im not sure that I've felt real hunger.Yeah I'm sure it's head hunger. I do miss food. I can't move to soft foods on Tuesday. Hurry up Tuesday. Can't wait to have a yogurt or some cottage cheese. Oh and soft boiled egg. Correction : can have soft foods on Tuesday.You just wait, that egg is going to be the best egg you've ever eaten. No lie. Foodgasam lolLol. Thanks @@Salonboi , don't I know it.It was no joke, that egg was like thanksgiving in my mouth lol it was nice to have real food in my mouth again lol
  19. Hello. How did you make out with your surgery. How are you feeling ? Are you on liquid diet ? Yes how did it go? I hope well.

  22. Me to, and it's in our heads. As long as we are getting our protein in we shouldn't be hungry at all. I'm getting at least 70grams, which is plenty. I keep seeing food that is of normally eaten the hell out of, and have sad feelings, cause I can't eat them ???? but it'll be so worth it, I say to myself lol. Good luck to you.
  23. I went back to work this week as well, I was 9 days post-op myself. And you are not kidding. Making myself top priority has been a challenge. And the energy got going, once I got into the groove. Good luck to ya. Every day has been easier.
  24. You're doing fantastic already! What have you been having for meals? thank you ???? I've been doing Fat free cottage cheese, yogurt, ricotta cheese bake, refried beans with melted mozzarella cheese, low sodium tomato soup with broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and onion puréed.Wow. Congrats , down that much in 11 days. That's amazing. I can't wait to have refried beans. I start soft foods on Tuesday. Gonna weigh myself on Tuesday which is my 2 weeks post op. What's ricotta cheese bake? Good up the good work , it's obviously paying off.
