  1. They do! I went to the movies today and wore a striped t shirt dress less form fitting than a body con dress and noticed right away that my stomach was waaaayyyy flatter than ever and that when I sit it doesnt stick out and my mom noticed thAt my seatbelt and when I sit in the car or anywhere my stomach is in line with my boobs instead or sticking wayy out .. I really hope the scale starts moving.. my biggest fear would be not loosing weight after this process.
  2. Phew okay! I was like wait why is this scale the same number as yesterday and the .(number) would be the only thing going down.... it's hard to get in 65g protein and 64oz water tbh .. hopefully tomorrow the scale moves
  3. In a week I lost 11 pounds but i've been stuck on the scale for 2-3 days now .. my stomach is definitely smaller and my clothes are loose
  4. Havent lost weight in like 2 days?? But im walking more anyone have this happen? I'm a week and 4 days out
  5. I can't wait to eat cheese and eggs omg
  6. Weird question, so my body hurt when I like poke it or grab it like my calves my arms.. it's mostly like my fatty parts, that I assume aren't so fatty anymore.. they kind of hurt.. is this normal???
  7. Hmm my left side has never been a problem, my right was a little iffy in the first few days, but I can honestly say I've gone two whole days with no pain at all.
  8. I want to eat soooo baddddddd like Im at walmart right now & just dying to eat some mash potatoes or some tuna!! I can't wait to be on the pureed honestly.. this full liquid is making me sick of not being able to eat ????
  9. Howwww!!! How are you spacing your protien and water!! To fit one day?? Are you eating soup? Or anything else??
  10. I just have the glue as well! Some of them don't look great though... The only one that looks a bit weird to me is the biggest one on my right, it's a bit indented but wayy better now than the first day
  11. It get better I promise!!! I sort of stopped doing the drinking every 15.. i either drink more in and hour or less and double up the next! Walking will help with gas and pain! I did not have bruises but can't wait till your better!!
  12. It is! I think since I got mine done at Children's Hospital that might be why no dressing are there cause kids move around! So for all surgery's they use the glue
  13. My hair was so tangled but it didn't take long maybe in the shower for like 15 minutes, but my incisions have like glue on them this clear cover no tape or dressings! So i don't have to do anything to them
  14. Hope everyone is okay! Today marks a week post op and I have no pain, and I walk about 30-45 minutes twice a day! And i drink 2 bottles of water a day.. still having a bit of trouble getting down a whole protien shake through out the day, like they told me.. but I feel like there is just not enough time in the day!! And I have been eating the soup part of beans great iron! And protien! Took my first full shower today and washed my hair!! I feel great!
  15. Usually tomatoes soup is too acidic and it's high in sugar.. at least the one from panera is ?
  16. It was so painful still in a bit of pain feel bloated kinda like gas pains
  17. I need help, so this happened to me just now So I took a teaspoon of jello (dulece de leche) and just licked the spoon... few mintues later I was in pain so much I cried and then I felt like throwing up, when I finally did it was like a foamy/ slimy substance .. WHAT IS THIS?? Is it normal??
  18. I only got three shots at the hospital and none to take home, I got then in the back of my arm, went to krogers and home depot today on the wheelchair thingies felt great to be out and about .. still scared to force liquids and have my pouch expand since Im still so inflated i feel like Im going to explode, other than that I'm down 10 pounds!
  19. I did! It was so painful still then I sneezed omg
  20. Had a cough attack and nearly died. It hurt so bad
