Glad that everything turned out to be ok. Better to know what is going on instead of worrying. I had pain about a week after I got out of the hospital and they had me to go in and do bloodwork and I had to have a cat scan of my belly. Everything turned out ok as well but, I needed to up my fluid...

I am going to go with the tankini bathing suit top and some swim suit shorts. I am still working at getting where I want to be but I may as well enjoy the ride while getting there lol

Hello Lana, I am 2 months out so I may not be the one you need to answer this for you. I suggest you call your surgeon and your bariatric doctor to see what is going on. You do not want to get dehydrated and it is possible that you can if you are not getting in enough fluids. I drank g2...

OMG Stinkerbelle she was drinking 44oz of coke and eating snicker bars???? I would be so sick. I used to drink a little coke whenever my stomach was sick before wls. I couldn't imagine drinking it now. One I would be afraid of the soda burning my pouch and two the painful burps. Then on top of...

Thank you for the advice I will contact them both.

Today makes 2 complete months out and I feel like I am already stuck at a plateau. My scales has not moved and I feel like I am doing what I am supposed to do. I am still having a little bit of trouble getting in all of my protein but, I am close the mark. I still have trouble with the nausea...

That is so awesome. Congrats on your surgery date. You will do great on the liquid diet. i wish I would've practiced sipping water during my liver shrinking diet. I find myself gulping water sometimes and let me tell you it is not a good feeling. Keep us posted on your progress you will do...

I have dropped a few sizes but, I can't wait til I am able to say the same things that all of you are saying. I am so pleased that my stomach does not touch the steering wheel anymore. I am also pleased that I can fit in a booth without my stomach touching the table. This is so awesome. I love...

Welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing. I am just a couple of months out from my surgery. You are not a failure and you are not fat nor ugly. You have done an awesome job at your weight loss. You had a set back but, you can overcome this. It is easy to give up and give in to your mind...

Does this typically happen to everyone? I have thin hair as it is. Oh well I have a great shaped head so if it comes out then so be it. The health benefits of the surgery will be all worth it.

My surgery got postponed for three months. I know that it is hard to deal with delays when your you are prepared for everything to get going. I was supposed to have my surgery back on Dec 2nd 2013 and I was so disappointed but, the time flew by and like the others said it is a chance to practice...

That is my issue as well I am 6 weeks out and at a stand still. I saw the surgeon yesterday for my 1 month follow up and he said that I am doing great. He told me to work on my protein intake and he also told me to add light weights for the next 2 weeks and then l can go heavier. So continue...

Two days post op and I was still in the hospital. I had to stay a whole week because I had a bit of trouble with nausea and vomiting and they would not let me go home until I was able to tolerate liquids for a whole day so that I wouldn't dehydrate. Listen to the others they all have great...
