So last night I fixed grillled fish and grilled zucchini... 

I chewed... I ate slowly... I ate less than the 3 total ounces on my plate... 

And something is stuck. And it's been stuck since last night, and now it's 10am the next day.

So I am now 6 weeks post op. I'm down 35.5 pounds, and pretty pleased with where I'm going.

I'm having the hardest time though, with my eyes! They seem to think my little pouch can handle so much more! I don't over eat, but I plan my meals with

So I guess after my whiny post yesterday, and feeling my feelings and all... I had an epiphany today! I got glasses... and so I wanted to send a photo to my hubby so he could see them. Selfie time! So I decided to compare the photo to one I had taken (

So it dawned on me the other day... when I have a migraine, I pop 800MG of ibuprofen when the light aura's start, head home, and go to sleep... when I wake up I'm drained, slightly nauseous, but the worst is gone.

I get light aura migraines...

So I know in my mind it's all good... my brain knows this in some place... 

But in another place, I'm just kinda bummed.

Today is my 1 month mark.

I've lost a total of 18.5 pounds since my surgery day.

I also lost 9 poun

So today I'm supposed to start my calcium chews...

I know I'm supposed to space it out from my iron (which I currently take with my multi-vitamin and extra Vit D)...

If I took those this morning before lunch, can I now take my calcium c

As I sit here at my work desk typing this, I am slowing consuming a very nice, albeit small, pile of basil pesto hummus from Zoe's Kitchen...

I think I may be in Heaven

One week ago at this time, I was being wheeled back for surgery. I never hit that nervous, OMG, WTH am I doing stage...as a matter of fact, just last night I was telling my hubby that I know I've had surgery (my stomach is still quite sore, and I can't

So I have been thinking about this and wanted to get it out there and get other's thoughts.

A few years ago I did the ultimate weight loss diet, in which I went from 227 to 179. It was Atkins, old style. I loved it and did very well. I have a v

Hey pammie! How's your recovery going? I hope all is well and uneventful for you.

pammieanne posted a discussion topic 7 years, 11 months ago

So did anyone else's doctor prescribe creams for you to use after surgery?

I received Amneal Lidocaine 5%, and Diclofenac Sodium 3% to use after surgery...

I hope I get more prescriptions for pain than just these!

That's awesome!! I got a call Friday as well. They moved me to first in line. :P I was scheduled second, but something happened, so now I have to be there at 6am. I'm a huge bundle of something, nerves? anxiety? excitement? relief? I don't know, but I can't wait for Monday!! Yeehaw!

So I got the call. I have my surgery date in writing... I think it's in writing... I'll have to double check that in the pile of papers I have...

I had my pre-op diet meeting at my Doc's office. There were three of us there. I made one new frie

OK, so I am frustrated with my doctor's office, and I really need to be a whiny high maintenance cry baby for a bit...

A little history... because, you know, it makes the story sound better.

I chose my doctor in part because I have a de

Hi There! I finally got my surgery date after waiting to hear and I know how difficult that feels! Every time the phone rang I would practically dive for it! I look forward to keeping you company and encouraging each other through our process! My big day for my surgery ( RNY, too) is May 2nd, 2016. Good luck!!
