Thanks for the update Julie! I go on August 8th so I'm grateful for the detail on what to expect! Let me know how you feel in a few days after the swelling goes down!

I wish they would pass a law like that here in Nevada! I would love to know how many calories are in my food before I eat it. Maybe it will get them to make the portion sizes smaller to reduce the calories displayed!

I started laying on mine that soon because it helped with the gas and bloating. Plus it kept me from twisting around in my sleep and pulling on it which scared me more.

I am 4 weeks post op and have been laying on my tummy since 4 days after surgery. No one ever told me I couldn't.... Can you hurt your port by laying on your stomach?

I'm not sure if I can eat that much, haven't actually tried it yet. Right now the grains would be the hardest part for me.

The nutritionist, Dr. Miranda, at OCC recommends 1200 calories.

You look great and I love that outfit! It is so cute!

WOW! What a difference 3 months can make!

Thanks Shy! That link is a great addition!

Hey Julie! How did it go?

Here is the diet that Dr. Miranda gave me to follow to ensure weight loss and stay in the 1200 calorie range.

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on your weight loss so far!

Welcome to the forum! There is such a diverse group of people here that are able and willing to help you throughout this journey regardless of what stage you are in! Congrats on your choice to live a healthier life!

My friend Anthony had surgery the same day as me and yes they shaved where the incision were. I picked on him the rest of the trip and told him he looked like a man o lantern!

All is well today! The chow mein is in the garbage where it belongs and I will NEVER go there again! lol!

Welcome to the forum Aaron! P.S. You have a great name! lol!

To be so close to your goal must be an amazing feeling! You are doing amazing and your hard work and dedication are definitely showing! Keep it up girl and you'll be at goal before you know it!

There are so many things that I would like to wear! I'd have to say of everything though I would like to wear a bathing suit and not feel embarrased about wearing one. It is hot in Vegas and I will not put on a bathing suit and go in the pool no matter how hot it is right now. That is my ultimate goal!

I truly believe it is because were not getting enough protein...I HATE tuna and I wanted it SOOOOOO bad! My friend that had the surgery said he was craving it too, this was a few weeks ago when we couldn't eat real food. Of course now I don't even want to smell tuna!

LOL! I tell him all the time he is like the band police!!! You can't eat that, that will make you sick, your eating to fast...and on and on and on! But it's great that he cares and is being so supportive!

I do not use the "meal replacement" shakes. I use the unflavored protein and mix it in with my food to ensure I get enough protein in my diet. There is a difference between "meal replacement" and protein supplement.

I had subway the 2nd day and it went down fine with the bread. I removed any excess bread and just ordered the kids sandwich, couldn't even finish that. I do not like bread any more though because after chewing for a while it gets to doughy and taste like yeast....Some people still eat it and love it. The wrap sounds good too! I craved tuna also, maybe it is the lack of protein?

Everyone is different so this may not be an issue for you but I ate some fried pickle...Yeah I know sounds gross but suprisingly good...anyway they were greasy where I could see the grease on my fingers while I was eating. Try to avoid greasy food like this, it made me really nauseous. Also sugar, I hadn't had sugar in a while and it made my heart beat really fast. You will be suprised how you analyze everything you want to eat before you make a decision. My husband is good for this...I'll be like man chicken wings sound good and he's right behind me saying the skin is fattening and they are fried in grease so you might get sick! He's great! I know your man is away right now so I'm forwarding on some advice to you from mine! LOL! Just go slow remember to chew your food and stop when you start to feel full. The hardest part is chewing your food. I was so used to just wolfing it down that slowing things down is a challenge for me.

I'm not a Jessie fan either! I really like Ollie so far, we'll see how he is after a few more episodes though! LOL!

I LOVE BB! I am on the west coast and did have not watched yet either but I love spoilers! So I'm guessing Jessie won HOH?
