I also stopped slowly. 1 cup a day then 1/2 cup a day then 1/4 etc. I had no headaches but was tired. Good news is I just started again Saturday! Dr said as long as it does not bother me and is not at the expense of getting non-caffeinated liquids in then it's no problem. Doesn't taste the same though Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Bread is a no no for me too Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The total cost of my surgery was about 55k. 17k for surgeon, 30k for hospital and about 5k for anesthesiologist and it is all broken down on my insurance website because it's all billed separately. Ask about using something like Care Credit to pay. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I did that because when I do hit a stall I am Hoping I will still lose inches and it will make me feel better Head games with myself lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@GinaCampbell , are you feeling any better?

Congats to all of you!! One month out, about how many calories are you getting in each day? Are you able to meet your Protein targets easily?

Can you eat the whole egg? When I make scrambled I measure out a 2 oz cup and am full after that. It's about 1/3 of an egg. A fried egg sounds delish!

I have the opposite problem. Sorry I can't help.

I feel great today! Agree, you should use the pain meds if you are in pain, don't suffer through. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

I started to get hungry too, no clue if it was real, imagined, or a result of acid but regardless, I felt hungry. Good news is that when you start mushies you will be full after a couple bites and it takes HOURS to feel hungry again.

@@pjmckain My doc said it looks like I may have stretched it a bit and made it angry but it is not infected at all. He said the largest one always takes time and hurts most. It was reassuring to hear. If you feel it is getting worse over the weekend you may want to go to an emergency walk in just to be safe. The earlier they catch it, the better. Good luck!

I've noticed I am also losing inches more than pounds which is awesome. I officially track my measurements once a month but have been sneaking waist measurements here and there and am down about 5 inches since the morning of surgery less than two weeks ago. woohoo

That's a no no on my plan for a loooonnnng time Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 9 days post op and think my largest incision site is infected. It is very red and has puss coming out. I made an appointment with my surgeon this afternoon but was wondering if this has happened to anyone else. All of the other incisions sites look really great. It seems to have happened pretty quickly and I don't have fever. Hoping some antibiotics will do the trick? I certainly don't want to go to hospital but imagine that wold only be necessary if it was very severe and spread to blood. Anyone experience this?

How about one of those 350 calorie Ensure's? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Obviously how you tolerate fruits is crucial and you won't know unless you try. Try at home to be safe As far as the sugar....every skinny person I know eats lots of fruit. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
