Had surgery on 3/5/14...just a few days out, but hubby and I have a cruise planned for June 3rd. I'm excited about the trip and I work for a charter cruise company so I'm very comfortable with cruising. Anyone else take a big trip like thus 3 months out? Any words of advice??

Jessileigh, you are so right, losing it is what matters. Getting healthy matters. Comparing our weight loss is a recipe for heartbreak.

Hi there! Which doctor in Bham? I had my surgery on 3/5 and Dr. Miles is my surgeon. Love him! Loving my sleeve!!!
-
I'm still here!! 11 days out. 22 lbs down. Sipping water and protein shakes.

I love all the sleeve cruisers!! Hubs and I are going to Alaska! I cruise about 6 to 8 times a year. It's my job! Yes, I know I have a great job!! I think this is cruise 29... But I'm never sure. Thanks for all the great info.

Have fun in St Lucia -- I have it on my list of "must visits."

Great advice. I have three business trips starting at the 8 week mark. I'll remember the noro virus info. That is NOT something I want to deal with. Oh my!

Sounds great!! Keep us posted on your trip.

Day 4 and I'm not feeling well. Is this normal?

Dear Pegs, I was sleeved on 3/5 so I'm right there with you. Don't push yourself, everyone heals differently, but follow Lombardos ( I think I got close to her name) advice-- call the doc if you run a fever. I'm 50, so let's stick together and not measure our success on others. This is a journey and we are just getting started. Hope you are better tomorrow. Take care of you. -
Had my surgery on 3/5 ...no pain, little nausea. Just tired and learning to sip, sip, sip. Good luck to all

I'm scheduled for March 5th. Start my liquid diet this Tuesday! I'm using Matrix vanilla protein shakes. I'm blessed to have a doctor who hosts an incredible support group monthly. We get to try all manner of protein shakes, etc.

I've used Gwynnie bee for over a year! I love it. They send your picks and if you try it and don't like it, just send it back (in envelope provided) and they will send the next item. Great way to try trendy items!!

Mitz, Thanks for all the wisdom. I'm happy I gave up carbonated beverages a while back, and glad I can keep my coffee. I will remember your hit stove stories And hopefully wont have too many of my own. PS I love my ipad, but hate typing on it. Makes me seem worse grammar and spelling than I already have.

I'm scheduled with Dr. Miles on March 6. Anyone here attend the support group at St Vincent's East? I've only been able yo attend twice, but loved it.
-
I'm about 6 weeks out from surgery and excited and scared at the same time. I'm ready for a life change, but I know it's not a magic "thin forever" pill. I just want to be healthy. Thanks to all of you who've gone before and are willing to light the path & speak encouragement. Goodness knows I need it!!!

You look wonderful!!! The shirt is cute just like you!! -
Am I the only one that wants to eat this or that for the last time before surgery?
MaryRS replied to MNMema's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
food funerals...I'm not only having the funerals, I'm following up with Decoration. (It's an old Southern tradition of putting flowrers on grave sites -- decorating. Afterwards there is always food and family. ) Since my surgery us not scheduled until early March (crazy job related travel ), I'm trying desperately not to eat like a madwoman. Crazy journey.
