Love them! I'm want them! No, I need them! Thanks for sharing.

How exciting! I want to be like you when I grow up (LOL). I was just telling my family that we need a maid or a housekeeper or something because I just don't have the energy to keep up with a full house anymore. I am nine days post op and haven't been able to return to my regular routine yet. I experienced a great deal of discomfort after the surgery, resulting in me using the full two weeks recommneded by my doctor. My first post op visit is on Nov 8 and will definitely increase my fluid intake because my tongue has been a little too white. I thought that it was because of my low fliud intake, so thanks for posting that information. early voting - checked Sons' first x - checked high energy - checked clean house- checked 2 wk post op- checked Seems like it is now time to breathe... Congrats and I wish you continued success on your journey.

...and by the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

To date, you've lost 39.2 lbs. I congratulate you on the excellent numbers depicted in your post. Basically, you've lost almost 40 lbs in two months - WOW! That's awesome! Try to celebrate each day, because we are not promised the next! Your journey is just that...your journey. Your competitiveness is wonderful, but the worst opponent can be oneself. I'm only a nine days post-op and your weight loss to date is super encouraging to me! I hope it continues to encourage you too! WLS is an personal choice. Your friends and family make choices that they do not share with you, and they shouldn't - because those are their choices. You are entitled to the same. Keep doing what is best for you and the rest will soon follow.

While reading your post, I'm looking around my house for cameras. :ph34r: Here is why; your experience mimics my experience in February of this year. It was a few days after having surgery to remove the ineffective lap band. I will not repeat my account of events, because you've captured them so well for me! I am now seven days out of revision surgery (sleeve, of course) and I have yet to experience a release. I am desperately afraid of a recurrence of "our" event that I am almost in panic mode at this very moment. I think I will make an appointment for a colonic as quickly as possible because I do not ever want to experience that level of discomfort again in this life time. I begged my husband to "knock me out" because the pain was almost intolerable! I almost logged in earlier to blog about this very same thing...so thank you! There are many suggestions given and for the most part, when you are experiencing that amount of pain I know from experience that any/all remedies suggested DO NOT offer any relief during that crucial moment.

Thanks and I'll add you as my very first friend when I log in to my pc.

@sharonM723; thank you so much for posting today. You've motivated me to stay focus and not let the hunger monster rule me today . So am I correct in assuming that your surgery date is in November? The reason I ask is because 28 days seems like such a long journey, and I am panicking after only four! Thanks for the well wishes too!

Optifast? Really? I heard that was a great product. Did your doctor recommend it or is it your personal choice? My doctor only uses Bariatric Advantage Protein drinks and bars - and my diet consists of 3 drinks and one bar - THAT'S IT!

I'm a revision so they didn't order a new one for me. I'd forgotten about that procedure.
