It seems strange and weird to me....I hope if jimmy is out there.....he is doing well and feeling better....if this has been someone's idea of a joke, i am not laughing ....

Newfoundlove .... Good to hear you're doing so great.... Very positive post.... I am north of Seattle so am aware of the great weather... Keep up the good work...

I loved that phone call... And like you lots of emotions surfaced .... I am 2 weeks post-op tomorrow.... Congrats and good luck !

I am also in WA but i had a great doctor...didn't sugar coat anything but didn't hold back either.... I guess the point i want to make is: if you did not feel like the doctor was "speaking with your best interest in mind". Find another doctor! ... There are more doctors in WA... Good ones, who will praise you for taking the first step to a healthier you... Good luck and let me know if there is anything i may do to help..

Way to stay with it, Dad!!! i know you have to be so proud...prayers and healing (((hugs))) sent his way...

Coops you look fantastic ! i agree, scales, BMI #, don't stand a chance against photos !!!! great job!

Welcome Prizzy .... I use this site for great information ...there is a search area, and any question i have, i check there too... Very supportive bunch of people....

Prayers to you! Healing ((((hugs)))) sent your way!

7pm prayers from me.... QUESTION : does anyone know how to contact Jimmy personally ? has anyone talked to him privately ? im or email ? i can't remember now if he named the hospital ? anyone able to make inquiries ? ..... I am not good at waiting especially when i am worried about someone .... Prayers coming soon, Jimmy!

Good to hear all going well...day at a time...

Jimmy...we are all praying for you....healing hugs sent your way.....

Jimmy.....healing hugs sent your way....sleep well and let us know how you're doing ....

Oregondaisy....i was so nervous about going, there we about 10 people going to be there...but like i said they all knew about my surgery so that was the deciding factor....(and i had a protein drink in my purse)... lol

Thank you kat1.... yes there is something good in everyday.... Day 11....(Mothers Day and my husband birthday)... don't worry everyone i am sure i am going to stop "daily" posting some time soon, its just right now everyday is filled with newness... brunch with friends.... First time at an "eating" gathering....they knew about my sleeve so it was adorable....she had it set up buffet style and every entree had a 1/4 cup portion already puree'd .... tears of friendship rolled down my face. My husband was pushing my wheelchair while i was deciding on food....i took puree chicken... Then the host removed all the puree'd portions and made me a to-go bag.....i am truly blessed.... So, i will close for now, hope everyone had a great Mothers Day. I know i had one i will never forget... tjmom/sandy

@marimar ...... I second that! Happy Mothers Day to all my new friends/acquaintances here on VST ....

My inspiration in all i do: two daughters: Tina & Jennifer = tjmom

Leesakae - congrats-----the cotton will go away....sleep well-rest lots and i am sending healing hugs your way!

@~Cheri .... I am only 9 days post-op but your comment was/is very moving....if you don't mind, i am going to print it and pin to my inspiration wall.... thank you for words of wisdom... tjmom/sandy

Day 9.... big mistake, for me, adding protein to my serving of cream of wheat! ....trying a new food AND adding protein did not sit well.... Did not throw up, butter did upset my stomach... So, rest of day i ate: sugar free pudding (snack), protein shake for lunch, then had devil chicken breast for dinner.... Yum! ... evening snack: unsweetened applesause .... nausea did not return..... I wish all you mothers out there a "Happy Mothers Day" on Sunday.... Enjoy your children, your grandchildren and be proud of the road you are on... We are headed in the right direction to a healthier and happier life! healing hugs to us all, sandy/tjmom

Welcome, both of you!!! today is day 9 .... was sleeved on Wednesday May 2.... Good days, bad moments .... the good times outweigh the bad by a long shot! Walk Walk Sip Sip
