You look great!

I am taking 5 1/2 weeks, but mostly because I have the sick time saved up AND my job is very stressful. There is no way I can go back to work as tired and emotional as I am now. I know many people who go back after less than a week - it is up to you, and how you feel about being out of work.

WOW...that is amazing! Great job!

I never had to do these silly diets before (no offense), but once I was over 40 I could just not drop the weight by counting calories alone. I had a long checklist on my shrink eval: eDiets Revival soy bars Sensa Green coffee Bean capsules Full Bar,. Full Bar Gummies, Full Bar gum

I think what upset me was HOW upset I got. I didn't expect to get so upset....it must be the hormones in my fat cells! I guess it is good that the fat cells are disolving! LOL! Thanks.

I like your list in your signature line! Thanks.

Thanks for your responses. I will keep up the walking. I think the box of chocolates is a sign of how my family feels about the surgery,,,,which is essentially nothing. They have not thought about it or offered any support. It is of no consequence to them. They all came over to my house with my mom to go out for a big birthday dinner while I ate broth...then brought two cakes back to my house and sat there and ate while I was in my chair, away from the table, in pain. No cards, no phone calls...they even just showed up that day without calling me to tell me what time they were coming. Thanks for validating that it is not "just me"...now you know why I need this board! God bless my in-laws, friends and internet friends. I will just take a walk when the tears come back. Terry

Awesome!

That is so sad. I am sorry they did this maybe they were trying not to hurt your feelings when you could not eat? You might want to let them know that next time they can invite you. I sat through my mom's 80th birthday dinner...had the ricotta inside the eggplant and broth. 11 days post op.

That is awesome!

Just turned 52. Was sleeved this past week. I would be happy to be a skinny old lady! Lol! This will add years to our lives. Congrats!

Crockpot chicken can be very dry. Even before the sleeve I would make dark meat in the crockpot and cooked on low for 4 hrs. Max. -- and with Iots of Iquid. When you try again, I would go with rotisserie or Boston Market.

I have seen little ramekins used to bake eggs with spinache veggies etc. looked good.
