That's great! Let us know how your follow up goes! I'm four months out and still learning several foods that are no no's for me. Takes plenty of time lol. I used to have the most horrible fear of puking, now it doesn't phase me in the least. No way can I do sugary stuff, the slightest kills my stomach. Also, rice, sauce, steak, and the list goes on. Lol. I think I pretty much got my list of do's and and do nots at this point. Let us know how your follow up goes! Great news on the noticing the change in clothing! That's amazing!

Yay! That's great news! Keep up the great work!!!

Ok, may sound kind of odd but I've been experimenting a little bit with skin tightening. I used Coco Butter and experimented with Preperation H, yes, Preperation H. I have been using it and it works A LOT better then the Coco Butters and what not. It may sound odd but I use it everywhere and I do notice the tightening. Just wanted to post that lol. It really works! Look in Sundays paper and or online for coupons for them and hit up price chopper for couple coupons or Shop Rite on one of their triple coupon weeks. Stock up! Lol. Jeeze, this is an odd topic

It's not weird at all! Makeup professionals use that on faces all the time!! Just be careful cause u can get sensitive from it. Hey Kyle. You asked a while ago about tasting stuff or having different tastes after surgery. I found one tonight. I've had a really bad week. I had the flu, followed by a cold, work has been crazy busy and draining. I got the ok from the dr to have some wine if I wanted knowing its empty calories and not exactly the thing I should be aiming for. My friend bought me a bottle of my favorite white clear wine before surgery thinking hey it's clear liquids I could do it after. Haha. I did not. I did however crack it open tonight to have half a cup full just because after these last two weeks. I really have been focusing in on that wine. Yeaaaaaa I opened it. Took a sip and it's disgusting!! This was my fav wine and super sweet. It used to be like drinking white grape juice. Now after one sip. Not only do I feel tipsy but I absolutely hate it and won't be drinking anymore. Weird right? So much for that!

How long were you guys out of work or just home for after the surgery?

Varies on person. If you have a desk job then for me it would have been two weeks, anything more I would have said 4 weeks or so.

Kris. I have a pretty physical job and I was out three weeks and I think I needed more time than that personally. I went back and was pretty sore still and tired

Officially fit into a men's size 29 waist!!! I would NEVER EVER think that was possible!!!! Size men's 29 waist and small shirt! Yippie!!
