Stalling? Or PMSing? - Do you have a small stall around your time of the month? I'm wondering if I'm stalling or if it's just bloating. It's been a week since the scale has budged. I've been SO good a...

What to do at the gym? - I joined our gym today. Mostly, I'm going to do water aerobics, because that's what my doctor recommended.  But I'm looking for other ideas. What are some good, easy activit...

Zofran? Drowsy? - Does Zofran make you drowsy? I'm thinking of taking one today since I've been feeling pukey most of the week, but I don't want to sleep at work!

NSV and Question about Pain - 1. At work today, a coworker who didn't know I'd had surgery noticed I'd lost some weight. It was the first time someone "not in the know" had commented on how I looked and it f...

Emotional?? - I've always been emotional. But since surgery (about 3 weeks ago), I'm finding that sometimes (a few times a week at least), I just can't control my emotions at all. I feel like...

What would you do (pills)? - I was told to crush ALL pills (even my 2mg pain pills) by my surgeon. When I saw how many people here were swallowing pills even in the hospital, I called and asked when I'd be ...

How much were you eating 2 weeks out? - I'm a little over 2 weeks out. I'm on purees/really soft foods 3 times a day. At the moment, I probably eat just under 2 tbsp most of the time. Or most of an egg.  When did ...

How much weight did you lose before you needed new - I started at 274; size 24. I'm down 22 lbs, but not really feeling it in my clothes (or at least not my pants). I think I can tell a difference in my face, hands, and ankles, wh...

Tell me about hair loss - Did you lose hair? Lots? Little bit? Short term? Long term? Did you lose it in patches or just general thinning? I have a TON of hair, so I'm not stressing yet, just curious...

Stalling already? - I had my surgery on the 8th. From the 11th to the 14th, I lost 12 pounds. I was thrilled! But I haven't lost an ounce since. I'm following every rule. Is this normal?

I'm hungry! Liquids after surgery - My surgery was on the 8th. Until further notice, I'm on a liquid diet. I can have full liquids (strained soup and the like), which helps a little, but I'm so sick of everything ...

Hello! Can I join you all? - I had my surgery August 8 - laproscopic Roux en Y. I'm home now, recovering, but I go back to work Monday. Everything is going really well so far, except that I miss eating like...
