Welcome! I think that in order to add a photo and profile info, you need to use the desktop version of the website on a real computer. I don't think you can do it through the app.

Welcome! What a young grandma you are. Just wait till you are also the healthiest on the playground. My second grandchild was born two weeks ago and I'm so excited to be able to keep up with him in a way I could not when my granddaughter was a toddler. I'm in New York City by the way.

I had my gastric bypass on 4/21/2015...been doing fine....but certainly not getting the Protein (80Grams)....but the last few days the scale says I have gained weight....am I doing something wrong?!?!?

Idk....I haven't gained but I haven't lost one pound and am going on 13 days. I drink 2 premier protein shakes a day. That's 60 grams. Today I started grits and pureed veggies.

what do you mean you havent Lost a pound? not one pound since the day you had your surgery? the Diet sound like we are about the same phase Dr. Told me I could eat soft foods...IE...MASHED TATERS...GRITS...oatmeal....I been eating Soups....some I may not should but I chew it really good with small bites....Havent got sick

Hi I'm Sara 39 years old, from Philly PA. I was sleeved on April 23rd and these have been the hardest two weeks of my life lol still in pain and not getting in all my fluids yet, tried so many different proteins but can't keep any down smh

I haven't lost ANY weight since the of my surgery. Hello Sarah. I can't get in all my fluids either....I'm averaging about 40 to 50 ounces a day. I quit keeping count really. As far as pain, the only pain I have is in my chest when the food passes through. Don't know why or what it is. Have you lost any weight?

@Zachnchrissy@jsleeve when I first was post op....I shocked at how little I could eat or drink....but I think the stomach has some swelling just from the procedure that will go away as your stomach heals....but today I feel fine and can handle a bit more volume...I know this isnt MAGIC....but What should we be expecting as far as weight loss....and are we driving ourselves nuts weighing everyday...(NOT THAT I WILL STOP)
