    Dental Issues

    I totally believe it is due to the acid reflux. I started having issues a couple years after my 1st surgery and I asked the dental hygienist if it could be related to my awful GERD, she said no. Turns out she was wrong. But it only makes sense that the acid would cause decay!

    Food addict

    Machalo, Great advice! I do this too when I crave something, I just tell myself I can have this at a later time and then I think about what I have gained by having surgery.
  5. AJ, what vitamins do you take for energy?

    pain and walking

    You are not the only one! I had a terrible pain on my left side, burning or stabbing. It finally went away at 3 weeks, what a relief! I couldn't bend over at all with out actually screeching in pain, and I am very tolerant of pain. You are not a wuss this is a very painful surgery for a lot of people. Hugs!

    Food Before and After Photos

    Would you share your recipe please?
  8. I have had the riced cauliflower when I was pre-op and loved it. I also have had riced sweet potato and the zoodles (zucchini) so healthy and feels like it is not 😉
  9. What is the white machine that despenses the vitamins. I have never seen one. Also, what vitamins do you take, it looks like a lot 😃
  10. My pain was in the same spot, just behind and below my left ribs. I called it a burning, tearing pain. I had it through week 4. One thing that helped was a heating pad to the area, not a lot of help, but it did make a difference. Welcome to the other side!

    So looking forward to next stage PUREE

    I gained a lot of water weight while in the hospital, my belly was as tight as a drum. I did notice the bladder thing also, but after I got rid of the water weight it stopped.
  12. Lately my husband has pointed out that my breath is awful, even soon after bushing my teeth. I can think of a couple causes, ketosis or dehydration. Anybody else have this issue? Any ideas?

    Dragon Breath

    Oh ick, brushing my tounge!
  14. It's great to see you. Sorry you had such a time, I stayed 4 nights because of a breathing complication Much like you I would get pain meds and then off to sleep. I can't watch to see how great you are going to do with this! Welcome to the losers club!

    Incision glue

    I am six weeks out and was told to trim off the glue as it starts to peel, but don't pull it off yourself. I just trimmed of the last of my glue yesterday.

    Soft food diet

    What do you do with shrimp? I bought some but not sure what to do with it.

    Soft food diet

    My first night on the soft food diet I made a pot roast and it was delicious. I was told you can eat anything soft. So soft cooked meats, veggies, eggs, yogurt. I have had chili, baked beans, brisket etc. I was told also no hard foods: chips, crackers, popcorn, nuts, and any tough meats. Anything crunchy. Hope this helps!
  20. One thing I forgot about a TT is that since they lift and rearrange your skin you may have numbness. I had mine in 1999 and ever since I cannot feel my skin or belly button! I am so happy for you, sounds like this will be easy and can't wait to see pictures!
  21. When I was in your position someone suggested a heating pad on and off my stomach throughout the day and it really helped!

    Over Night Stay

    I brought a robe and a charging cable but I really didn't need to bring anything except the robe. I sure didn't feel like being on my phone and mostly I was in bed and drowsy because of the pain medication.
  23. I try to keep a jacket in the car for going to the store and hospitals are always freezing!

    insurance tips for plastics

    I went to a Plastics DR and told him what I wanted and then he submitted everything to the insurance. I had wanted a Tt, a boob lift and my legs done. My insurance only covered the tummy tuck
  25. I got on the scale today and wanted to cry. The scale is up to 196! I know the cause I think..... I have only once made it to 800 calories in a day. I am on the soft diet and in a week I can start my regular diet. I just don't get enough calories in each day. My water is pretty close anywhere from 54 to 62 oz a day. It's frustrating! Thanks for listening!
