  1. 1500 calories isn't exactly pigging out. Lol. I shoot for 1400 a day,and the past week I have been able to eat more than the first 2 weeks after surgery, and this weeks loss is going to be much better than last week.
  2. Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. Thrift stores, garage sales, TJ Maxx, Ebay, Friends...
  4. I couldn't find a recent thread for us. How is everyone doing???
  5. Just have them document the things you mentioned, and you should be fine. My approval was really smooth with tri-care.
  6. I have a Realize band but I have no idea if it is C?? My surgery was in Palm Springs.
  7. My surgeon said he repaired a large hernia. My pain was only bad for about 3 days.
  8. If you are happy, then go with it! Great job!
  9. Losing fast is thrilling of course, but it's not realistic. I've decided as long as I'm not gaining, then I'm happy!
  10. If your pee is bright yellow, that is from Vitamins. Dark yellow from not drinking enough Water. I'm 3 weeks out and have never gotten a refund. Lol
  11. I have no idea, but I am scared to eat scrambled eggs! I DO eat hard boiled eggs and have not had any problem with them.
  12. I've been sticking to about 1/2 to 2/3 cup per meal.
  13. Did your doctor give you a schedule to follow? I saw mine at 1 week, and don't see him again until week 7. By then I will be on regular food.
  14. If your incision looks gross enough to make you almost pass out, maybe you should have it looked at? Mine haven't every really looked gross. I had glue too.
  15. I get it too, in my back and left shoulder blade.
  16. I have been craving my favorite restaurants' salad for weeks. I want to have one before I get my first fill, which may or may not be March 14th. Do you have any problems eating salad? Should I have them chop the lettuce?
  17. Fabulous!!! I'm happy for you!!!
  18. How exactly do you make the ricotta with spaghetti sauce? Just mix it together and put cheese on top?
  19. I want to lose some boobies! A few years ago I lost 65 pounds and my bra size didn't change at all. =(
  20. Can you up it to 1/2 cup? That's what I normally get in, and it's been working fine.
  21. My last one ended a day or two before surgery. I'm due around the18ish. I am like clock work, so it will be interesting to see if it's still on track.
