Hi all, I've been reading posts since my surgery was approved, but haven't posted. I lost 22 lbs pre-op, and had my surgery on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Great recovery and very little pain; I was fortunate enough to have my medical insurance cover my procedure at the Cleveland Clinic Center of Excellence. I'm trying to stay hydrated, and still have at least one shake a day--but the road ahead looks good--I've lost a pound a day since surgery!!

Quick questions--

1. how do I put that cute weight loss chart on my profile?

2. Anyone found the best prices on Vitamins?

I love the Oh Yeah! chocolate Milkshake powder and bottles--best flavor!

Good Luck to everyone!!

Cathy,

Did you get diarrhea? I started in last night and than again today. I am 5 days out, had mine Monday after Thanksgiving.

Thanks,

Laura

Are you taking a PPI like Nexium? I had gas and liquid bowels but just once a day, not all the time. Feel better!

Congrats and welcome to the LOSERS bench!

I am right behind you and feeling great too. I got the Walgreens complete multivitamin/multi mineral liquid (10 bucks) because I still can't take pills. I walked around downtown yesterday, took the kids to see santa at the mall. Knock on wood I feel wonderful too.

I did also get a bit of diarrhea but for only 2 days. I been drinking orange low carb gatorade and that seems to have stopped it.

I also have been doing the G2 Gatorade. My stomach is gurgling non stop, even sipping all day. URRR!!

the gurgling is normal...lasted about 2-3 weeks for me.
