How crappy, rude and insensitive. While It is true that men see size as very different than women do and have NO CONCEPT of actual weight, STILL no excuse to be judegemntal and rude.. so the BIG GAL he is speaking of could be 100lbs or 200lbs. you have very right to feel offended. At 5;10 (but I used to be 6'0" until I got old and shrunk) I feel your pain.

MIRALAX, 2 tsps. every other day. lots of water. I am 3 months out and all the extra protein is doing it to me too!

yeah you need to go back in for a face to face. this is not normal. I know when I had too much or ate too fast but never throw up. just have that too full feeling until something slides out the bottom lol

OH MAN I used to be a champion hula hooper back in the day LOL may try that. SOunds like fun anyway!

yep I had one repaired at time of surgery too

I weigh in on Tuesdays too!

if you can lay on your back and elevate your legs, like up a wall off the bed or somewhere really helps. took mine about 10 days to dissipate completely

I am getting some good toning in my 'middle' stomach. Can't seem to get much In the lower belly area. I'm thinking some of this may be due to surgery and some just cause that seems to be where all my extra stuff wants to hang out. crunches, bridges, planks......anything else you have found success with?

I cant throw up either. I heave and salivate like crazy but no barfing. it is brutal lol

probably the internal stitches. I had a similar dent at first too. and it felt like a knot under the skin. but I had no pain after about 2 days.

I figured out I was not getting enough sleep! that is when your body eats up the fat for fuel! Good job!

Can I just say Bless your heart? and I mean that in the nicest way possible, not the Snarky way lol Your body has had severe trauma. potassium landed me back in 4 days postop so might be it. call your doc! Good luck!

I too did this for health reasons, my kids and grandkids. BUT I cant say I don't love the way I look in a nice pair of jeans LOL Don't give up. it is a long process because they want to ensure they are successful. they psych evals, the bloodwork, the counseling. it all adds up. then the insurance priocess. WELL we all know that bites. BTW I love your snarky post LOL I too am fluent in sarcasm!

I do water with my protein powder. some pureed banana for extra potassium.

yep no payments here either. all my costs were required up front the day of surgery.

YEP. tell them BYE Felicia

the preop diet is so brutal lol You DID IT though! Congratulations!

Yes i did it during my puree stage as well

oh my gosh ya'll are too cute. for me clothes are longer cause the boobs and belly are smaller. I can see my feet, I had to order smaller band for my fitibit, and new running shoes. and new bra and panties since mine kept creeping down under my bootie when I walked

WOW this is very surprising to me. It is no longer recommended due to the side effects.

aww darn not avail in the US!

My surgeon recommended plain or vanilla greek with sugar free jam in it. I do blackberry or raspberry for flavor. I also LOVE the NOOSA lemon and OIKOS lemon meringue as a treat. a little lite cool whip and VOILA it is dessert!

I always stall if I am sick, the meds are full of SUGAR and I have no apetite. plenty of fluids and rest my friend!

yep 6 weeks but no ranch!@

OK first LOVE LOVE LOVE your name LOL Welcome to the boards!
