  1. I go to the gym about 3x a week. I only do cardio. Sometimes treadmill sometimes the bike sometimes the elliptical. I stay for about an hour. But I still feel like I haven't done enough. I want to hit the weights but do not know where to start. Any advice or sample regimen will be appreciated. I try to do what my husband dies but scared it night be to harsh on me right now. I have no money for a personal trainer so I desperately need help from you all!! Hugs, Ayye

  10. So my incission opened maybe day 8 and it was white the size of a quarter leaked a little bit. My surgeon said not to worry because it takes time and it was the biggest one. And to come back if the white part doesnt fall off or if the area surrounding gets really red. But I look at my incision and it doesn't look normal. I do not cover it. I wash it daily. Nothing has fallen off yet. It's yellowish and pus comes from it when pushed down. It doesn't hurt just itches. It looks Luke its healing but I'm concerned that its healing over all this crustiness and its really hard underneath. None of my other incisions did this. Any.ideas what I should do?

    Coughing up green mucus?

    It's from the anesthesia. To prevent from getting pneumonia cough it up and spit it out! Hold a pillow over your stomach and cough or huff really hard so u can.get the mucus out!
  12. Thanx all. I just didn't know if it was normal or not. My first mind said to make an appt with my doctor. So that's what ill do.
  13. Its only one that looks Like this. I clean like three times a day. I was using band aids to cover but the Dr said to not use them so much so it can heal faster.

    Help!

    How do you know if food gets stuck? I'm on soft foods and I get really full quick. I know I'm full when I feel food in my chest. So I stop after about 1/4cup or less. But I start thinking that maybe when I feel it in my chest that means its stuck??? Maybe I'm just confusing it with fullness.
  16. Hello all! I was sleeved Nov 21 I'm 13 days out and according to my scale I've only lost 10lbs. Crossing fingers that when I go to ny appt Thursday its much more. I think my scale is not working or I'm doing something wrong. I drink 64oz of Water and get over 60 grams of Protein in. Am I a slow loser or what. Blah!
  17. Are there any Wls recipe books out there? I need ideas for my soft foods phase and up.
  18. Thank you. I'll get on amazon to find it right now!

    Hello all! Has qnyones hair falling out during their loosing phase? I'm only 9 days post op and was wondering since our hair is different do our fall out as much as someone with finer hair? And if so what was done about it. I'm thinking about staying natural rather than my press and curl.
  20. Might be a silly question but does sipping Water overnight count towards your daily water Intake? My routine 10 pm I start sipping 24 oz of water til 10am 11am start sipping through out day til about 4 pm 24 oz 5 pm sip water til about 8/9 ish. 24oz Is water intake only counted during the day?
  21. Post op day 5. Doing really good. Getting all my fluids in. Got in most of my protein yesterday. But wait.. I'm sick of all this sweet crap. I do like my strained soups. So far I've tried muscle milk light, unjory chocalate splendor, various isopures and I hate them. Tooo sweet, no substance just plain Yuck. Pours down drain. What else can I try?
