And you are looking fab too! Congratulations on your success. Keep it up!

Pick a surgeon and attend their seminars. Learn all you can before the surgery.

I agree with Guy, back to the basics. Measure or weight portions and get back to regular exercise.

I too use regular mayo and focus on limiting carbs. It is what works for me.

My calcium has D3 included. D3 is needed to help the body absorb calcium.

Sounds good, I will try it.

I have no clue, if it works go for it!

I have had them... I love it!

Keep up the good work! One day at a time!

Congratulations and best wishes to you. Come back after surgery and let us know how things are going. Meanwhile, learn all you can to prepare yourself for surgery and post op. You will be glad you did!

Do what you need to do for your health. All else will follow.

Your port will not bend, but it is normal to feel it.

There will be no problem on the plane, as it is pressurized. You may decide to take some Protein powders along as they may be hard to find. There is always lowfat milk to mix them with. Just don't go crazy and eat things you know you should not. Italy is Pasta land, so if you have not tried it before, I would not try it there. Just remember to chew, chew, chew and keep your fluids up. Stick with the diet your doctor and nutritionist gave you and take it slow. You may find that you still get tired easily so be good to yourself! Nashua Nutrition sells single serving sample packs of protein powders that are great for traveling. Have a fabulous trip!

Been there, done that. You need to plan ahead what you will have for a snack and stick to the plan.

You should be fine with the fill in. Colonoscopy does not go that far! LOL!

I was allowed, but check with your doc. Some sweeteners cause sugar cravings.

Try the unjury powders. They are very nice, especially with almond milk. (unsweetened)

I will sometimes get a bit of a runny nose when I am up to my limit. Everyone is different. Listen to your body and always stop before feeling FULL, cause that will creep up on you.

Nice article Jean. This is my downfall. I am not consistent with it and I need to fix that!

Ditto from me!

All white carbs are trigger foods for me, so I avoid them.

Thank you to all who have served.

NSVs are always great! Congratulations!

Take your success and be happy. Now is not the time to second guess, you will only stress yourself. And stress.... well, it makes me eat! LOL!

Continue to make good food choices and chew, chew, chew!
