I bet by now you've begun to lose again and all is well. I too stalled in my third week or so - I even went up on days! I post my daily weight at my blog, in part to help others use me as a comparison if need be, to see my ups and downs and realiz...

I am nearly 8 weeks out and have lost almost 40 lbs. I still struggle with quite an appetite, and the ability to hold down more than I think I should if my pouch is really the size of an egg. I do screw up at times, but overall am blessed to have ...

Wow! This isn't what I expected at all. My c-section for my twins seemed to be a breeze compared to this. I'm in constant pain, and sleeping on a 2 person love seat isn't cutting the comfy level. I seem to be okay with the liquid every 15 min., ho...

New Here - Hi to all fellow GBers!

I am nearly 8 weeks out and have lost almost 40 lbs. I still struggle with quite an appetite, and the ability to hold down more than I think I should if my pouch is really the size of an egg. I do screw up at times, but overall am blessed to have an easy going pouch that is so tolerant!

Post-Op: Day 4

Wow! This isn't what I expected at all. My c-section for my twins seemed to be a breeze compared to this. I'm in constant pain, and sleeping on a 2 person love seat isn't cutting the comfy level.

In fact my only gripe right now is that I hate the taste of the protein shakes. -So much so, that I have had a tough time actually swallowing them. My next appointment is on Wednesday and I am told that I should be able to start to incorporate some soft foods like cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, and hummus.... Honestly, I never thought that I would be so excited about trying hummus… Continue

Hi All!

I noticed that many of us got some SPAM from an individual that joined our site to advertise her services. I had the profile deleted. If this or other SPAM profiles pop up, please let Brad or a site admin know!
