lol no you will be fine, i was nervous for nothing , you can ask any thing your want and i wont think of you as a pest.. I had so may questions and concerns when i was going through the process .. we are all here to help

toler, Im so glad for you, won't be long now and all the waiting will be worth it.. what hospital will you be going to.? remember we live so close don't hesatate to ask me for help if you need it or advice.. don't be nervous , its all going to be fine . I feel that the day of my operation was my re birth lol

thank you i think i will i need a personal trainer hahaha to keep me going or a work out partner

i joined CHUZE but not crazy about it.. its real nice and has lots of machines but the people that work there aren't very helpful.I just did it because it was only $10 a month. but when it runs out i am not renewing.

what gym do you go to I'm glad your food is better, its good you already gave up carbonated drinks, i have forgotten what a diet coke taste like lol but fluids is really important. especally where we live.. and in the heat we have been getting. I'm bad about fluids even now. you just have to get into the habit of having a bottle of drink with me all the time.

toler the main thing when you are out of surgery is Water and walk, the more you walk the less gas you will have and the faster you will heal., I went to dr burbee . also your doctor can give you a card that says you has surgery and cant eat a lot and they can give you a child menu or smaller meal.. usually i just tell them i had a operation and if i can have a plate i'' share with hubby and they are fine with it or i have a appatizer instead of meal.. but you can order and just take whats left home.. believe me you don't want to over eat when you have had enough stop.. feel full stop. and do wait till at least a half hour to drink after you eat . the pain isn't worth it.. the first time i overate i felt like i was having a heart attack. it was no fun and believe me one time and you will never do it again. any questions you have i will be glad to answer if i know the answer.. I live on wilmot, between speedway and broadway so we aren't that far away.. i don't do FB sorry

toler how have you been any news on your surgery ? I go to the Dr next week cant believe its been a yr and a half since my operation... Where do you live in tucson Im on the east side

Oh Toler, I'm so sorry , I hope you feel better, I know what you mean about bathing suits, finally broke down and bought one,, have a heated pool at apartment, just desided to bare it and go in pool but after dark hahaha. I sit on a noodle and peddle like I'm riding a bike..

I use the premier Protein too and i found if i put cinnamon in the vanilla i can drink it but like you, i like the chocolate best.. especally if i put it in blender with a few ice cubes , it turns into a choc milk shake and also fills me up more.. I know what you mean about having so much protein powder, i did the same , bought some and have it still.. i think every protein powder company should have samples for you to try, so you don't waste so much money on ones that you don't like and then have it laying around not being used.. and they aren't cheap either.

I'm going to buy some tomorrow and try it. thanks toler

thanks toler i will try it , i have a problem with constip0ation and have to take stool softeners and my lax for it.. I'' ll try it sprouts is my favorite store the fruit and vegs are so fresh.

hi toler , is aloe vera juice good for you. i never heard of it as a juice just the plant you put on burns.

I will . you kee;p in touch too . good luck to both of us

thanks sherry, im sure going to look at the video , i need help and buy the book for sure.

OMG sheery, i am so glad i read your p;ost its sounds like what is happening to me. let me know about the a poundof cure.

SHERRY have you tried the shakes blended with ice its like a milkshake, a treat for sure.

real glad to hear you are doing so good Bubbletoes. Its hard in the beginning to get enough Protein in and Water but a little trick i use is setting a timer for every 15 min and drinking a shot glass of water helps a lot.. i drink Premier Protein drinks they have 30 g of protein each and only 1g of sugar Im glad you are doing well keep up the good work

thank u for the mothers day wish.. same to you toler.

I have tried a few and i like the premier Protein the best plus it has 30g of protein and only 160cals low fat and only 1 g of sugar . i really like to blend it with ice then its like a milk shake. costos has a case of 18 for $24 some times on sale for $20

thanks bubble, i know it will start up again, but sometimes i have no patience.. and expect lbs to fall off as fast as it did in the beginning, even though i know it wont.. but at least its coming off and not going on

hi lous, like you i had a doctor who also told me i didn't need to do anything but push away from the table and excerise. then i went on medicare and had to change doctors ,, thank goodness i did because my new doctor was ok with the weight lose surgery and help me get it. I was over 350lbs. its been over a year and i have lost almost 100 lbs I am off diabetic meds, don't use a cane anymore and can breath so much better.. I'm glad you are going through with it and even though it will be a lot of appointments with different health care doctors. you will really be glad you did it. good luck and keep in touch.. we are all here to help

yep i had to do all that pre stuff too . but you do learn a lot and they are just making sure you are ready and able to go through operation and be prepared for the diet.. after the operation i felt like i was re born hahah and now i have 2 birthdays the one i was born with and the day of the operation

i am so happy for you, and the months will fly by, Im in a slump right now and haven';t lost a lb for a few weeks..

great congrat . isn't it wonderful? i'm so happy for you
