Early out i didn't keep track of how much i walked. I had surgery on a Wednesday and on Monday when most of my family went back to work my Grandma started coming over everyday and walking with me or taking me shopping with her since i couldn't drive. The first few days grandma would out walk me and i would have to sit and rest, now i am up to 1.25-1.5 miles at 6 months out. Try to walk every other day and weights on the alternating days.

I liked it, but i was full after just a few bites, and it is 1 of those things i didn't want as left overs. and i just remembered it wasn't KFC it was Boston Market. And so far the only thing i have found that doesn't agree with me is Milk.

I tried a KFC 1 at about 3 or 4 months out i think. I was only able to eat 3 bites then passed it over to the hubby. I am 6 months out and planning on making 1 at home once it gets a little bit cooler.

I am 6months out and still have problems getting in enough protein, so the protein shake helps me get close to my goal. I have also never been a big breakfast eater, so i started protein shakes before surgery to get in breakfast.

I didn't have a pre op diet, doctor wanted me to lose 10lbs during 3months with NUT, but i was able to eat normal food up until 6pm the day before surgery. I was told my stomach was larger than he anticapated so the whole my stomach came out of is maybe 1/2 in larger than he had planned. but no other problems.

i love those cups, i don't use the little one because i am having a hard time getting in enough water, so i walk around with a 1liter bottle of water,that way i only need 2 of those.

I don't use the children's cutlery but i did go get a childrens plate and bowl for smaller portions.

Before surgery i did, frozen strawberries, chocolate no sugar added carnation and milk, for breakfast.

Like others i chose the sleeve because i didn't want to deal with the malabsortion

6 month out, i don't miss anything. I can still eat everything i did before just much less. If i want somethin i have a small bit and am satasified now.

My doc said when ever i was ready. We tried at about a week out but it was just to painful. Tried again at 2 weeks and I was fine, still a little tender, but i just didn't want to wait any longer. And sex was always good but now after losing 96lbs It is GREAT!!

I used sparkpeople for awhile, they will set up a menu if you want based on your weight loss goals.

I went walking this past weekend and saw a lady dancing and all i could think is i can't wait till i have lost enough weight to walk sing and dance at the same time. Of course that would also mean i would have to gain some cordination or i will the skinny chick broken on the ground instead of the fat chick broken on the ground.

I was cleared for salad at 6 weeks, I usually make a ceaser salad and add some rotessori chicken, i can eat about 2 bites of salad and then pick out my chicken and eat it.

Talk to the Consultant in the wedding shop they can tell you the best time to shop and how long alterations may take.

wish i could help, low fat string cheese and celery with a little bit of peanut butter are my favorites, that and i made a trail mix to keep in my car incase i am ever without food, and that has peanuts, almonds and cheerios (not honey nut) premeasured with calories wrote on the bag.

My Nephew was 5 weeks old when i had surgery, When my sister went back to work a week later i started watching him. I could hold him, carry him and lay him in his bassinet but i couldn't bend down to pick him up. My 12 year old had to help by picking him up and handing him to me for about 3 weeks. So if you are going to have the surgery with your baby so young i would recommend having someone available to help you for at least a few weeks.

I was told to wait at least 1 year by my doctor

First 2 months i had crazy noises also

I like the muscle milk, but ony the cake batter and strawberries and creme. and i can't do any of the powders only the premixed.

Cake Batter muscle milk string cheese chicken (in any way shape of form)

I am 2 1/2 weeks short of 6 months, i go in for my 6month check up tomorrow and I am 89lbs down, I really hope my doctor is as happy with that number as i am. But i do just want those 11lbs to go to put me at 100 lbs and them 8 more pounds to put me at 299. I am just so happy with the weight i am losing.

My doctor said i only need them until i can get all of my protein from food then i can stop.

I follow the 30min for everything. If i count it as a meal or snack i wait. I have a protein shake for breakfast and weight 30min till i have water, and i also wait aster all solids.

I am just short of 6months out, things like pudding have always gone down super easy from the very beginning. I am still working on eating slow, some days it is still hard to remember, and soft things like pudding, jello and yougurt are the hardest to go slowly on.
