I also use Myfitnesspal. It's super easy to use, and if you have a fitbit, you can sync it up and it can grab your steps. I haven't been able to find the protein on the phone app, but on the website, it tracks your protein for you too, as well as your sugar, calories, fat, etc.

The weekend was ok. I spent some time organizing, putting all the various things into a spreadsheet and planner so I could go back to work today, and stay on top of everything. Lost a couple pounds.

Thanks, DaddyMarie. I feel better.

Now I'm worried. I haven't had a bm. Should I??

Yep, that's me! Sorry you "flunked" the sleep test. It's definitely good to know though. I didn't recover in record time like I had hoped I would, so I was still feeling pretty rough yesterday. I decided not to go back to work today. I will go back on Monday. Today, I'm feeling much better. It's easier to get up without the incisions hurting so much, and I'm getting into the swing of the new diet. At this point, I totally feel up to working, but it's probably best that I'm not working today. I'm sure I'll recover better with this day off. I slept late this morning. It's all good. Now I'm just trying to figure out the eating/drinking/not drinking/eating slowly stuff. Otherwise, I'm feeling pretty good! I have cut back on the pain medication. I was going to let it go for a while but a nurse called from St E's to follow up, and she said I should stay on top of the pain medication for a bit, so I'm just cutting back and having it less often. I'm going to keep tapering off, and hopefully Sunday I'll just be taking Tylenol. Overall, it's going well!

How was your sleep study, sleeve?

Congrats, Britt! That's great. I'm through most of the pain and discomfort now. I'm home, which is very nice. The St E's nurses were great. It's just good to be home. Eating is challenging. I kind of don't want to. No turning back. I'm so excited! Woohoo!

Ignore the dde thing. That was supposed to be a smiley face. I'm happy for you, EMarie!

I'm feeling so much better today. I'm about to be released. Yay! ????

Hi all! I made it through surgery without complications. I've been feeling pretty awful since then. I haven't thrown up, but I also haven't walked a whole lot. I passed the swallow test (yuck) so I'm sipping some ice water now. Yay!

Good to hear that, krystal. Congratulations! good luck, all!

Thanks, girls! I'm excited too. I suppose I should try to sleep. Good luck to y'all too!

Just 13 1/2 hours til check-in. My BP is going to be high from all the broth. Lol

Hey, pre-op class girls. Wendy here. Surgery is less than 3 days away now. Looking forward to it!

May 6th here too - Nebraska. I'm worried about the hair loss. Anyone else?
