Stephanie: so happy you are home!! Good luck 13th ladies!!!! I can't believe I'm less than a week out!!

So happy you are home!!! Glad you are doing better!!

That's sucks guys. I'm sorry your surgeries were delayed!! We are here for you! Good luck to all those going in tomorrow!! Let us know how you are. I'm in Atlantic City at a work conference. Food everywhere. Scared ill gain the 15 pounds back I lost. Ugh.

Hi Kelly! We are surgery sisters. I think there are four of us now!! Yea

Yea!! At least you know what the issue is. :-)

You look wonderful!! I'm so happy for you!

Well I'm not post op yet but I am terrified of this. I keep thinking I will stay on liquids forever. I know my nutritionist gave me size guideline on how much to eat how if yet. Maybe speak with your Nut or dr. Good luck. :-)

Oh I hope so. I bought some decaf instant. :-). Better than none lol

Steph, wow hope they get you straightened out. I don't wanna be roomies with you . Prayers. I'm really glad you feel good! That's a start.

Welcome to the November family! I wish you good luck! This board so great it has made so much of a difference for me. It is so much easier when you know what to expect.

Do you add Water with the two tbls silk?

Talk about comfort food. Yummy. Thanks

I completely agree with this. As soon as I eat stop doing heavy Protein and low carb/sweets I start gaining. All body types are different but u have learned my lesson. Also, yes I am afraid I will never be thin. I carry a lot of weight in my arms and legs so I never look "thin". Even when I was 125 in high school no one believed me. But there's too many stories o people overcoming these obstacles with work. So we can do this!!!

LA GP. That is sooo sweet. It sounds like she is lucky to have you too. Glad you are doing well and in good hands!!

Steph, you ok?

EEyoregirl, I was just thinking about you! So glad things are going well. Yes, the gas pain shall pass... lol

Awesome thanks I had the Chocolate truffle today in milk and it was wonderful. Almost a 'trigger' food taste. lol

I LOVE the chicken soup and the strawberry. I ordered the containers for myself since they are clear liquids. I also have the sample pack. Need to try the chocolate and vanilla. I'll post up as well.

Well, maybe she was just being kind. I know I have had a hard time not rewarding people with food. I would give her one more chance, she does it again and then I would be done.

Awesome!!! I'm really happy for you! That is my first goal!

My surgery is the 19th so I BETTER :-) be home on Thanksgiving but just turkey broth for me. To all the ladies cooking that meal so soon after surgery, my hat is off to you! I just feel bad for my poor hubby. Having my mom bring him a plate.

You are the day after me!! We WILL BE HOME and having turkey broth!!! CONGRATS!!!!

Jami, One thing you might want to do is follow the November surgery thread. It is literally a day by day thread of people going through the surgery all the good and the bad. Yes there is pain, some complications and the trial of finding the right protein shake and getting enough water/exercise in. Even with these aspects. the results are overwhelmingly positive. Almost everyone I have seen on this board would do it again. I know four people personally and all said it was the best thing they ever did. There is a ton of good info here and the books that LosingItForMe recommended. Follow your doctors orders, ask a lot of questions and you should be fine. Good Luck!

Mommy.... Thanks never thought of it that way. Poor little guys. I'm sure I will make a big fuss too! lol
