Today is the day, I am going to see both doctors. Hopefully I will be released to do more than walking Have a great day and sure hope the good weather is lasting by you. Oh, I wanted to ask if you took before measurements? I just took mine again and cut a ribbion of inches lost. Wow is all I can say. Motivation 100%

Congrats. I had my surgery on 12-20-11. The one thing I would do differently is stay the extra day at the hospital. I came home the next day and cried and was in a lot of pain at home. Pain was very well controlled in the hospital and I was up and walking feeling great. At home sleeping was the hardest thing. My bed was to high and caused me pain when getting into and out of it. I was told not to sleep in the recliner because of possible blood clots so my advice is if offered the extra day take it and stay in the hospital and recover another day before coming home. Good luck to you.

Feeling so good today. Been walking and unpacking our new place. So happy for the great weather. hope all is well for you.

Well, I am glad I was able to help LOL. I have to say that the advantage shakes are really good and after surgery I still use them. I just picked up on yesterday. My husband even uses them for weightloss. The chocolate is my fav. My hubby likes the van and the banana is good too. My pre Opp classes were two at three hours each and they gave us samples to try. Ask and see if they have samples of them. I mix them with milk, some people mix them with water. I find the shake with milk stays with me longer. have a great day.

Congrats on your success, I am a newbie. Just had my surgery 12-20-11. I am loving this app the support and motivation I find on here are wonderful.

I spent most of yesterday not feeling 100%. Today is going to be a great day. 60 here today al well. My husband keeps saying this is not normal weather for Illinois and we are going to get hit hard with cold and snow. I think he is wrong!!!!! For our motivation let him be wrong. Our new furniture came yesterday and I over did it with just having surgery wed to fix my tummy. I do plan on taking a walk today and enjoying the weather. Just at a slower pace. Have a wonderful day and think one day closer to our goals.

I have been doing this in a regular notebook since June of 2011. I write down everything, what I have eaten, how I feel, exercise, water, beverages, measurements, when i take my vits. I had my surgery 12-20-11 and this journaling has proven to be very helpful when I see the nurse, dietician, and doctor. It has also been great for me to look back at and see my success and areas I need to improve upon. Next time I think I will buy a nicer notebook.

Good luck to you as you continue your journey. I was told as long as the Protein had less than 2g sugar it was ok after surgery. Prior to surgery I was only given two choices. Carnation instant sugar free or Bariatric Advantage by metegenics. I did the bariatric advantage. Three flavors and went really well on my ten day liquid preop diet. Hope that helps.

Not oven Given to me. Silly auto correct

Cool, I have the flu from oven to me by my wonderful son. My daughter and husband are sick as well. We are having a race to see who gets rid of our temperature first. Lol Tummy us really hurting from surgery last week and throwing up last night and all day to day. This will pass and I am looking forward to the great weather that will be here soon. I am ready to walk and hit the gym again.

Hang in there, I had my surgery 12-20-11 and have had times where my weight has stood still. I have had the unfortunate experience of throwing up just about everything I put in my pouch. My Dr did the scope three times. This last time he noticed that there may be an obstruction from a twisting intestine. I am feeling better about surgery and am searching for my motivation as well. 40lb is fantastic, that is my Six year old you lost! Lol. 100 from the start is amazing! You have done fantastic. Take it day by day sip by sip. I am back at the basics. I am writing everything down that I eat, how long I exercise, what I drink and how I feel. I try to make very support group too. They are twice a month and I learn so much and leave so charged with positive energy for the next week. Hope the motivation bug finds you and me and we find out way to our goal Tina
