I tend to get bored with food. I need some protein ideas that are tasty!

What are some exercise tips for toning legs/thighs with bad knees?

You need to find lotus4me on fb and send a friend request. You must be invied to the group. I will post the other lady that is involved as well. This is all private. There is also a page but its not private.

I found lotus4me on fb and I am now in the secret group

To my knowledge the creator must invite pppl to the group.

My facebook name is Precious Blue Diamond....invite me to the group.

I was sleeved on 2/28/12 too! I would love to chat or email. I am also interested in the private FB group! I need a buddy as well. It's so easy to get off track!

I guess that's true....in planning you just need to know what you can handle.

I would say wait until school is out. Pain was not my issue but I was tired. Plus you need to give yourself room for a complication to occur. It may no happen but you have a lot going on and I did too which why I got dehydrated! You need to be able to focus on yourself and I know its hard I too have3 children. I had to recruit my sister and mother to help out. If you can get some help that will be the only way I would plan your surgery before schools out.

My surgery date was 2/28/12. I was released from the hospital weighing 352lbs. I did not have any issues in the hospital but as told by my nurses that I was the only wls patient that did have nausa problems. The pain was not so bad but I did take pain meds for 1 week. I did get dehydrated and was hospitalized again on 3/17-3/19. I couldn't hold anything down and was throwing up stomach acid for hours. I had an upper GI to mke sure everything was ok. So let me sress that fluids are MOST IMPORTANT when you get home. I took PPIs for a few weeks to settle my stomach acid and now evrything is normal. My starting weight was 370lbs. Today, I weigh 324lbs. I dropped to 321 but went back up to 324 and I have been at 324 for two weeks. Today stars week 7 for me and I can eat almost anything but I do throw up here there. I am learning to eat slower and take smaller bits. I will say that I m not totally comfortable eating around people that don't know I have a sleeve plus I get scared that something will go wrong. Overall, I am happy. I have dropped from a 26-28 to a 22. I will say I love my clothes fitting better but some of your clothes will be baggy. Baggy is better than tight! I am learning how to plan meals. So I do need help in that area. [ATTACH]2897[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]2897[/ATTACH]
