Ok so tomorrow I go for my one week post op appointment ' date=' although its been 10 days since my surgery. I'm excited to see how he thinks I'm doing. According to my scale I have lost 25 pounds, but nothing more for the last couple of days. I think I'm gonna start weighing only once a week. Has anyone been prescribed medicine to prevent gall stones ? I was told by a Nurse friend of mine that it was recommended for weight loss surgery patients because the rapid weight loss can cause them ? I am gonna ask my surgeon .

Ok so I asked my surgeon about prevention medicine for gall stones and he said he would not recommend it for me. He said rapid weight loss can cause them but its not very common. He said the side effects of the medication is worse than the risk of developing gall stones. So no medication for me .

Yum. Can't wait either.

So my hubby is flying home as we speak. He has been gone for two weeks on a business trip. He wants me to dress sexy to pick him up from the airport. I am a jeans and sweats kinda girl. I feel absolutely rediculous wearing a dress and heels. I have no self confidence in dressing sexy. Help!!!

Just do it will make you fell good if you knew he didn't have anything planed you could really surprise him in some sexy undies or teddy and only put on a coat over it
