    TeriR got a reaction from Berry78 in 2 1/2 months post op and now experiencing pain   
    Thank you for those suggestions and I actually tried to take it easy yesterday. The gall bladder thing did come to mind, as well! Intermittent pain woke me often last night while trying to sleep. I am going to be calling my doctor this morning as soon as the office opens.

    Probably give your team a call, see what they think. In the meantime, maybe go back to real soft foods (even full liquids) and skip the Vitamin for a couple days. Never hurts to give tummy a rest.
    Of course, keep potential gallbladder issues in mind too.

    TeriR reacted to Berry78 in Alcohol   
    Do NOT drink until at least 9 weeks out. It would probably be best to wait 3-6 months or more.

    Type.. is whatever doesn't make you deathly ill. Keep in mind that 1 drink post surgery equals 2-3 drinks before.

    People have died from relatively low consumption, and plenty of patients end up transferring addictions and become alcoholics. Please be extra careful.

    TeriR reacted to _Mini_Me_ in 2.5 months out and half way to goal   
    I'm pretty excited today, I'm officially half way to my goal weight (120lbs/5'2"). I'm down 50lbs (CW 170lbs) and have 50 more to go to reach my goal. The first 50 went so fast, it had been slowing down a lot, but still seeing results. My old clothes are fitting and my pains are gone. Even my Gerd went away, I was nervous that it would get worse with the surgery, but I have no more issues with acid reflux. I can finally have coffee now, but don't need it for energy anymore. It was hard adjusting to these changes at first, but I'm finally at a point where I can say this is the best decision I've ever made (or at least one of them lol).
