I wish I did. I need a buddie to. I'm in Arizona. I wish you luck friend.

Yes 2x

I had problems. I couldn't go for almost a week. Now every 3 days is my schedule. Not happy about that.

Super hungry today. Don't know why. Maybe because last night was my first meal since surgery. I hope I can get past this feeling soon. I'm craving no beuno foods. ???? feeling dumpy today.

Sorry for your loss Amy Carter. I miss the pool to. Have fun at the gym. Benji27 yes yes oooo do I have acid reflex. I just take something for it and it goes away. Good luck with that.

Sleeved on December 16. Had some issues with the restroom. But better now. Ready for soft food. Gym sometimes 2x a day. Down 25lb. Only started in June (insurance issue)start at 270 day before surgery 257. Today 232. Slowly but it's coming off

Thanks. I sure hope so. Most of the foods I like are not good ones so that's OK with me if I never eat them again. Everything taste salty right now and not good. Hahahaha

Awww. Thank you. I haven't mastered it either. Lol

It has gone by fast. I biggest worry was my skin got tender to the touch on my left side. I didn't know why and I hurt inside as well. I figured it out. I'm a dummy I had a couple of bites of cheese and I hadn't gone to the restroom in a couple of days. I guess I was backed up. Dang I won't be doing that for awhile. Doctor said cheeses is ok. But man that feeling was awful. It will be awhile before I eat cheese again. I'm feeling a lot better today.

Getting there slowly. Went to doctor today 269 now 237. Sleeve was done Dec 16. Doing good. Thought I would try a small chicken salad. Nope not ready. Oh well later I guess. Lovin life

Had the sleeve Dec 16

My date was December 16

Hi my name is Carol and I had my bypass sleeve surgery Dec 16, 2014. Very hard for me during Christmas. I am 44 married and a mother of 5. With 4 beautiful grandchildren. My kids are grown well physically anyways. OK back to my story. To start out with I was 270 lb in June 2014. I have Lupus and other smaller things. The Lupus is what helped me to decide to have surgery. I get flare ups in my hips and can't walk (carry my weight) I'm only 5'2. So I started in June. My insurance required me to go through all kinds of stuff as you all know.6 months of doctors visits, nutritionist, mental evaluation. Passed. Before surgery in June I went down 257. I did go down before the big day. I am the soul of my family it's been so hard these weeks. Im learning so many new things. I am the cook, the party organizer, I am the back to this family. So hard but I'm now 233. And starting to feel good about myself. I love my family but now I'm to the point where it's fin for ya'lls self. Hahahaha. One really important thing that i have learned in these few weeks is its my turn to take care of ME. I love myself. I'm happy to be apart of your group. Thank you

Sounds good.. going to bed nice talkn to you. I got all 4 grandbabys tomorrow. Lord give me strength. Ages 3,2,1 and 9 month's. I'll need to get some sleep. Bye for now

I go to the ymca about 3 days a week. But it's a light workout. My body's not back to normal yet. I can't wait to go back to zumba I absolutely love dance classes. Fun fun fun.

Oh man I crave cheese. And heartburn. Wow I have it bad. And I can taste a lot of salt in everything I eat. Smell... wow my nose is so sensitive. I can smell like a huntn dog. Hahahaha. My favorite foods are no longer my favorite. Nothing I taste is the same. I guess that's for the better

It will come soon. It will start coming off. It sometimes take a while.

150 right now. But I'm loving droppn this weight so fast. How much have you lost so far?

Me to. Nice to meet you

It depends on where you live I guess. I'm in Arizona. Dry heat

At least the holidays are over for now. We have time to prepare for bikini weather. Lol

Me to. For Christmas eve I had protein drink and a bite of homemade mac and cheese. Christmas day was hard like you said big plate. But nope clear liquids all day. But I love the new me. I'm still not eating very many soft foods. I'm still with a lot of soups and broths. I get full fast. Like 2 bites.

Through

Congratulations to you. So you know how tough it is though the holidays?
