  1. Hey guys, I am a foodie. Seriously me and food go way back. Now I have to develop a new relationship with it. Putting me on a liquid or puree diet is the same as a 5 year sentence in the House of Correction. LBVS. I took my diet suggestions very literally limiting myself to Jello, broth, cottage cheese, and other bland foods. Then I went on Pinterest and searched recipes for each diet stage. I found great stuff that opened so many possibilities!! I found a mock lasagna, chili dog recipe and even some great protein ideas! Just thought I would share! You can follow me @yachicaguy

    Hello Sisters! My name is Yachica and I am 4 days post op. I live in Plymouth, MN (just outside of Minneapolis) and I am so glad I'm not alone. I have a lot of family support, sometimes pitty, but I still felt alone. I am still in pain, working through this new diet (while my mom is frying chicken and cooking greens????) stitches, dry mouth, & hormones among other things. Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going. People want me to focus on my "new body" and how "fabulous" I will look but honestly, I can only see & feel pain and discomfort. I know this too shall pass and I pray this will all be worth it. RNY: 2/18/15 Height: 5'5 HW:274 SW: 261 CW:251
  3. I had that too! I'm going into day 5 and its not an issue anymore. I stopped taking narcotics for pain. Only Tylenol. Its helped me with the dizziness and loopy feeling.

    Anyone Use Fitness Pal?

    It's awesome! It absolutely single handedly helped me lose those pre-surgery pounds.
  5. I am feeling the same pain in my upper left right under my rib cage. I am 4 days post op and I am very confused about what pain is normal and not normal. You are not alone.
