Good for you!
3 BABY SHOWERS in ONE DAY? ugh!!! You'll do fine, but you are probably going to go broke buying all of those presents :)
I too had a milestone today, first time I ate out. It was a friends bday and he wanted to go to Red Hot and Blue (Barbeque) I found a chili on the menu and I thought it was amusing that I didn't even get through half a cup before all of the guys had demolished their sandwich, fries and slaw...it's a whole new world for me!
Congrats!!! Every victory resisting makes us stronger!

According to my surgeon, I am okay to take benefiber. I've been using the flavored versions (like the crystal light packets) generally about 1 x a day and they have really been helping I think!
I was also told that it was okay to take Miralax occasionally.
good luck!!!

Ugh, unfortunately I am feeling your pain on this one, and was also wondering when we can start taking some sort of fiber.

Topic: RE: (Little Over) 1 month checkup yesterday!
Glad to see you doing so well. My weight loss has not been so great since surgery. I was 287 at my highest..240 at surgery..250 when I checked out...240 at my 2 week appt and now I am just over 220...I just started the gym this week..Doing 45minutes on the treadmill and start strength training tomorrow..so hopefully that will give me the kick to get the weight moving again.
I also find myself tired..I am not usually a person that runs tired, but about 2pm it hits me. Have my Doc appt this thursday. Hopefully he can shed some light on it.
Keep doing great..Happiness always, Kathy

Good job. I haven't had any parties yet. But I have gone out to eat. Breakfast isn't a real problem. Ordered and egg and 1 pc bacon...My husband says I am a cheap date. LOL
Dinner was nicer. Ordered a steak, veggies and the potato (plain). Had about 1/8 the steak, a few bites of the veggies and potato....and lunch for work all week... Really tired of the refried beans and cream of chicken soup at home..so this was a nice change. Now I am trying to figure things I can eat for dinner at home. Getting bored with chicken, beans, cheese and yogart. I have a hard boiled egg for breakfast, so eggs are out for dinner. Got to get creative here. Open to suggestions. I have looked at eggface menus..but want things that just need to be heated up. Not into much cooking since I am usually eating dinner alone..hubby works late..
They had pizza at work today. I only had a little of the veggie topping one..was enough to get a taste and make me feel satisfied and like I "joined in"; but what was strange was I did not crave the pizza..and that was my very favorite thing before. Maybe things are finally taking shape. I kinda feel "bored" with food right now. Interesting.
Good luck with all your upcoming events. I hope it goes smoothly for you. Kathy

Topic: Good party experience
I've completely avoided all parties since surgery. We have a lot of baby showers and retirement parties this time of year. (Though I love eating out) Tonight I really felt like I should go to a retirement restaurant party. I asked beforehand if a friend would split a meal with me and made it clear I didn't want anything fried. We also got a seafood bake app and I just ate it straight w no bread. I cut the fish in two pieces, giving her the larger piece and ate my green beans. I even passed her the hush puppies so I wouldn't eat them. I politely said no to the cake and focused on taking pictures and handing out forks and plates. So first party not to bad. Have a house warming tomorrow and 3 baby showers on Thursday. Think I'll avoid the showers for a little longer but feel really good so far. Hope everyone else if learning to adapt to our new lifestyles. I'm finding my way little by little. :)
