wow, great job, so happy for you, I hope I can reach my goals and maintain like you...congratulations, and thanks for sharing your great story....!

It is digital, I got digital because i have a hard time seeing the analog, but it is right on with the Dr.'s scale, so i am happy with it...

I use a WW scale, you can buy them at walmart....

I had surg. aug 1st, down 17 lbs, just started "real" food..lol...had wendys chili today, Yummmmy, never tasted so good....

I had the band, and the sleeve, horrible relflux, and the sleeve made it worse...went from sleeve to bypass and the only regret I have is not doing it first.....

How are you MM? are you getting better? hope you are progressing...thinking of you and praying for a quick recovery...

I have a quote that I look at all the time, " a true friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out"....so true~~~

how far post op must you be to start eating it?

Maybe you have a stricture.....

I drink arizona or snapple teas....there is vitamin water, crystal lite etc...Im assuming he means any sugar free drinks that arent carbonated..

I seen that too lisa....she bought it at a fast food drive thru, Im wondering if there was sugar in the sauce or seasoning?

Me too!!...I love salad, and so I called the Dr's office today and asked, and they told me the soonest I can try it is 6 mos....and that i may never be able to tolerate it.....!!!!!!!!! What?????.....I am a salad addict....please tell me this isnt so....

you need to call your doctor ASAP, not sure what it is, but it is not normal....good luck and keep us posted!!

everyday you will be able to drink more and faster...I am 4 wks out, and I can drink at a pretty good clip...

I use EAS cab advan edge.....they r the only ones I can stomach, got them at sams club, been drinking them for a few yrs....it is so personal tho....good luck..

yeah lilboo ask him, cuz maybe I'm eating too much!!! Lol

Yes Lisa, I agree....This also happened with a previous weight loss, and it has been 2 1/2 yrs...the funny thing is, I live in a subdivision on a cul-de-sac, and she live right next door, our yards touch....and we dont speak...lol...Oh well, such is life...

So sorry Heather, go forward with a healthy pregnancy, and then show them that your wt loss is a life style change, and not a passing fad.....good luck to you and congratulations on your little one....

I lost a "friend" after surgery...I was shocked, never thought something like surgery could shake us, but it did...took me a while, but now I know she was never a friend, and I am better off without her in my life....

I had Laprascopic on aug 1st, and im only down 15 lbs! actually gained the last couple days! dont know how that is possible, but I did...ugh......it does suck!!

"the expert guide to weight loss surgery" By garth davis .....he and his dad have a show called "big medicine"

this was also mentioned in the book ...lol

I peeled mine off after 2 1/2 wks cause they were coming loose on both edges and irritating me....

I was just reading a book i bought on RNY last nite and it was saying how after bypass, we have more gas, more frequently, and bad smell, and more forceful...LOL, I didnt write it, just sayin'......its because our intestines are shorter...

what did they say..how will they fix it.....soooo sorry
