  1. Rarely. All I get is a four piece nugget from Wendy's. Everything else just seems pointless or gross now. If it has too much breading I don't even want it. If it's greasy, I don't want it.

  2. It only took about a month, since they don't see me that often. They always call me skinny mini now. I just laugh. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-147 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats.

  3. People say the same thing to me but I don't listen to them. I'm like 20 lbs away from my goal and I'm not stopping til I get there. They're not living in my body, therefore they don't know.

  4. I had it a month ago with no issues and few times before that... Nothing happened. Then again, I guess it depends on the quantity that you're eating and what you're eating. I always buy Chicken Curry and eat so little of it that I have left overs for days. I don't get anything that's fried or have breading all over it. The only thing I really crave is curry when I order take out anyway. ? Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-150 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Medium in shirts. depends on how it's cut or made.

  6. They used the glue on me too. I had Gastric bypass though. I have about six scars. The smaller ones got lighter and aren't noticeable at all, it's just the bigger one that got a little dark. The lighter ones faded after a few months. I haven't really given my scars much thought because they don't bother me. I just think the scars are another story added to my body. As far as what I've heard that helps with scars are vitamin E. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-150 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Medium in shirts. depends on how it's cut or made.

  7. I've had weird dreams. That's about it. They happened a lot when I was a few weeks post op. Not so much anymore. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-151 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats.

  8. I'm on the Depo shot. But I've been using that for years, before I've had the surgery. That works great for me, but I've heard of others using the one you get inside your arm. Not sure how well it works, though. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-154 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Medium in shirts. depends on how it's cut or made.

  10. I was 27 when I was going through the process of getting my surgery done. Although I never got put on the liquid diet pre op, I was on it for 2 weeks post op. My hair did thin out but it wasn't noticeable since my hair was really thick. The only person who did notice it was the guy who styles my hair lol. It has been the same way since August. I just got it cut into a bob last Friday. My only complaints about the whole thing was having nausea for like 2 and a half months. Weaned myself off the Prilosec last month after an endoscopy I've had. The nerves about getting the surgery didn't hit me til I was seconds away from passing out on the operating table lol It does feel like a quick surgery cause one minute, you're in the OR and then the next you're waking up in recovery being asked how much pain you're in and how you're feeling. Just remember, unless you've always had problems with growing it out, hair always grows back. In my opinion, the surgery is worth it. I feel great and I'm off most of my meds. You've got this, you'll do great. ? Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-155 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Medium in shirts. depends on how it's cut or made.

  11. Mine lasts about a week and then it passes. It's like the previous person said, it's just your body adjusting to the changes. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-155 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats.

  12. Mashed potatoes... But maybe that's a bad idea right now. It's just something I had besides Greek Yogurt and mashed up bananas and stuff like that. Some people like Hummus. That's pretty good.

  13. I was 226 the day of surgery, which was in April. The weight loss started off rapid and stayed that way for 2 months then gradually slowed down. I was 27 on the day of surgery. 28 now. Other than being morbidly obese, I didn't have any other health problems. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-156 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Medium in shirts. depends on how it's cut or made.

  14. I don't think those things would happen unless they're not keeping up with their vitamins, not brushing their teeth and if they're still trying to overeat. Then again maybe there are other things that would cause excessive vomiting. The only thing I've gone through was diarrhea and constipation. Then nausea. I've had no problems with my teeth.

  15. It's not much of a problem for me. I did it by accident one time and nothing happened. That's the only time I've done it. I just choose not to use straws. When it happened, I was like 3 or 4 months post op. I advise against using them though. Especially at that time. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-156 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats.

  16. It can. If you meant the extra water from when you left the hospital. The more hydrated you are, the more things your body will flush out of your system.

  17. Can you switch your shifts around so that you get more sleep and maybe get in more water? I was struggling with water intake and the way mine got better is I added Crystal Light to my water. Now I get in 72 ounces or more. I would say add more protein but the amount you get in seems fine. Did you ask your nutritionist about the amount of protein? I'm six months post op, so my weight loss slowed down a lot. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-156 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Medium in shirts. depends on how it's cut or made.

  18. My taste for sweets has changed. I could care less about them. Tried something I really loved pre-op last week and didn't enjoy them one bit. It was Reese's cups. I don't mess with any type of dessert but I'll make some for others to eat for a party or family gathering. I don't care for fish or red meat. The only exceptions with red meats are bacon if it's there or if it's lean ground beef in chili. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-157 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Large in shirts...

  20. The worst day was the first few days for me after that it wasn't so bad but I have a high pain tolerance and heal pretty fast. After like day 5 I was fine. I was still tired and didn't have much of an appetite but the pain wasn't even there anymore. Everyone's experience with this is different. Who knows, you may not even have that much pain. Some people say they just have a lot of discomfort. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-158 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Large in shirts... Could be a medium. depends on how it's cut or made.

  21. Well I was 226 the day of surgery which was in April. I hit the 190s in June and now I'm hovering around 158-160. Been around there since the beginning of this month.

  22. I went to my PCP about that and they gave me this little multivitamin that I can just swallow whole and not have to chew at all. Problem is, they know the brand and name of the pill but I don't. On my pill pack, it just says "Multivitamin" and what the color of it is. Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-158 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats.

  23. I just hate the diet versions. G2 and Powerade Zero because that's all I would drink post op. I do like Vitamin water but the amount of carbs in that are insane...

  24. Were there any that you were looking for in particular? You can find most of them on Google Play/App Store. I'm not sure if you use Apple or Android.

  25. I tried some at around that time and it made me feel so crappy. I don't remember the exact feeling but it was enough to remember to never drink it again. I don't even buy juice when I'm at the store. The most I'll drink is Apple juice if I absolutely have to but most of the time when I'm not home I usually have other options on what to drink. I used to love orange juice. Now it's just not on the list of any beverages I'd personally recommend.... Hw-273 Sw-226 CW-159 GW-130 Size- 4 or 6, Small in sweats. Large in shirts...
