Topic: Texas Mesquite Wraps
I made these spicy little wraps tonight and they were delicious. I ate mine with out the wrap because I am still early out but either way they are really healthy and yummy!

1) Nope, but I've seen it reported on the boards.
2) Not sure, but it wasn't much.  Take a sip every minute or so, and you'll get it in. 
3)  Again, not sure, but you sound on track.  You're being conscious of what you're intaking, which is a plus.  Just try to increase little by little and make wise choices in foods and supplements, and you'll get it all in eventually.  Baby steps.

Don't forget your vitamins!

Ok, that is wonderful. So have you had any complications yet? I first noticed the change in my lower stomach. Its resting on my lap more now that I'm losing and the upper part of my stomach is going down but not enough to notice. I don't understand why, maybe its from the scar tissue or something. Who knows! All I know is that I'm losing and hopefully the rest will soon follow. I also realize I'm jiggly more too since I lost the weight. I got almost a year to go before I can even consider any reconstructive surgery to get rid of the excess skin.

Liquid Tylenol, the orange one.  It works. 

Or maybe you could find some liquigels.  Be sure to read the labels.

I have a cold as well.  I took some Sudafed (the real stuff that you have to sign for) and it's worked pretty well.  Also use a humidifier, and nasal spray.

Hi,
   I had my surgery on Sept. 8th.  I think all the weight is coming from my legs because I now have ankles.

Topic: 5 days post-op and have some questions
HI there! I had my surgery on Tuesday and am feeling great. Just have some questions for ya.

1. Did anyone get thrush post-op? I think that's what I have develeped this am and will call my doctors office tomorrow about it, just wondering if this was a common problem.

2. What is the minimum of liquids you were able to get in post-op? I feel I may not be getting enough even though my liquids intake is unlimited. I just feel so full and am having a hard time pushing it.

3. What was the minimum of protein you were able to get in post-op? I getting at least 40mg daily and going to try to increase that to 60 today with the help of protein bullets.

Congratulations!!! When did you have the surgery? I had mine in April and I'm down from 430 to 364 and I'm loving it. Now a shopping trip is not so bad anymore, especially with my back. I'm actually weighing less than I did when I had my son 5 years ago.

Don't be afraid to eat. I was like that too at first. I was afraid that I would eat the wrong thing or it wouldn't taste good, but I've learned how to handle it. I'm steadily losing, but I just need to focus on exercise. I at least get a little because of where I work. I have no choice but to walk.

Good Luck!
