  1. I called the nurse.She prescribed a medicated mouthwash .Nystatin. It is yeast die off.I also have to schedule a teeth cleaning.The medicated mouthwash helps but my mouth smells like a sewer in the morning.I use listerine.
  2. I had revision from lapband to bypass on Dec 28,2015....no regrets slowly healing but am so happy with my decision.
  3. I just purchased a large container of coconut oil.I slather it allover every morning and night.Really helps
  4. Get started .pick one and get that excess weight off.Your journey begins as soon as you start.
  5. Soup is the most important....I strain and blend pea soup or use the cream of tomato from pacific foods varieties.
  6. I had surgery Dec 28.I am still on full liquids.I am not rushing the stages because my body needs to heal.
  7. I have not advanced from full liquids by choice.I had surgery on Dec 28...I am not ready.....for purée yet...this is my decision...a slow progression .My body needs to heal and I am not rushing the stages...
  8. She will secretly and claim WW is the reason she is losing so much weight. Kirstie Alley definitely got WLS.
  9. Buy a cold compress bag (the type you fill with ice)and an electric heating pad.I had the all in one revision with hernia repair .though but worth it.
  10. How are you doing ? How's pain? Every day gets better.I am still on full liquid...and the weight is coming off!So far 17 pounds!!!!! No regrets...
  11. I can't wait to see Oprah who will definitely get the sleeve go on tv with miraculous results for WW.Her results will be phenomenal...and she will boast that it all because of WW.....
  12. I had the lapband the fused to my organs...I revised to the bypass.Are you getting bypass or sleeve?You need to stop worrying about nonsense and get a grip on your health.Bypass,DS, or Sleeve?
  13. We are all on here because we have opted for some form of WLS.As far as conventional .If you were able to maintain or go conventional you would not be 150 pounds overweight.Do your research with the knowledge that 150 pounds of excess weight is shortening your life.If you overeat then dumping will happen.You have to take control.No more excuses.Focus on the positive of each procedure and see a qualified surgeon and seek a bariatric program where you can meet people who have had WLS.
  14. I had revision from lapband to bypass Dec 28 with hernia fix.I am as sore as hell..haven't been able to get in the 30 min of walking but I am up and around.,,back half days at work.The surgery is tough but I have lost 17 pounds and no regrets!!!!! I am working on my protein and water intake...everyday gets a little easier.You have to walk to prevent a blood clot..,get up and move.
  15. I can tell you stories for days ...that band damaged my organs...Revised to bypass Dec 28,2015... I am sore as hell and as happy as I can be.No regrets...no more fooling around....lost 17 pounds already...get the bypass!!!!!Don't walk ...run....congrats.
  16. Ok what's your plan of action.?
  17. So sorry to hear this...are you able to get in enough water?Are you taking probiotics?
  18. Now this is fantastic.
  19. Revision from lapband to Bypass Dec 28,2015....very sore,aching,scarred but ok...still on the full liquid phase because I don't want to push forward too fast in the phases....64 ounces is a bit tough and getting my protein is a bit tough....slowly progressing and each day gets a bit better.Very happy.
