    Glad you're feeling better . . . both my grandkids that live with me were sick as hell the other day . . . and spreading it around to all of the rest of us . . . so I'm hoping to dodge that bullet!

    My doctor said I was right in the middle of the "to fill or not to fill" area because he is happy with what I have lost so far . . . so he opted to wait until the 17th for my first fill - BOO! AND . . . he asked how much I was eating at a time. When I said 1/2- 1 cup . . .he said "no - I want you to report back to me in BITES. I want you to do 8 bites and then stop . . . and see how that works". OMG . . . I'm going to be climbing the walls before January 17th! I should mention that he wants me on 2 Protein Shakes a day also for Snacks . . . for 3 months . . . and to make sure I'm getting enough Protein.< /p>

    Sheila .. .my scale hasn't moved either since 12-10. But I keep doing what I'm supposed to do . . . and I'm starting to go to the pool until I'm cleared by my doctor for the machines at the gym (knee and hip and back problems) . . . and I'm not going to worry about it. My body is changing - my clothes are getting to get "baggie", I'm getting a neck . . . so something is changing somewhere. I'm just continuing on and at some point something has to give for the better.

    I guess I was lucky . . . I would say my pain at it's worst was a 3-4 . . . never even took the pain meds at home and haven't even opened the liquid tylonal . . . it seems to strike each person differently. I was up and walking 1-1/2 hours after being back in my room from recovery . . . and they said the more you can walk, the better it will be for you. I did get a bit of gas pain in the shoulder, but nothing I couldn't deal with - and I did take gas-x strips to help. Good luck . . . it all goes by quite quickly!

    I think we have all helped each other in one way or another . . . and I'm sure that since we've kinda bonded, we'll be a help to each other for a long time to come! We're our own club and all at about the same stage . . . so our progress will be fun and interesting I'm sure! Thank you also from me! We understand what we're going through . . . others in my family don't get it . . .and just say yup

    EAK - my doctor made us give up all caffiene and carbination. The carbination because of the bubbles in the pouch . . . and he just is dead set against caffiene too. That being said - many people here were not given that restriction. Since I gave it up pre-op . . . I just haven't gone back to it - although New Year's with no champagne! OMG . . . this will be a new thing!

    I'll be 4 weeks on Monday . . . and haven't understood that "anything" is just about doo-able in moderation. I've also been slow in loosing the last couple weeks . . . like NO movement . . .so I'm afraid to do much in the way of carbs . . . I'm an expert on poached salmon in chicken broth . . . with broccoli way over cooked . . . and cottage cheese with salsa, or SF applesause or alvacado . . . scrambled eggs do well .. . again with salsa - and grits are great with a bit of salt on them. I get my first fill on the 2nd . . . so we shall see what happens then! I do two EAS AdvatagEdge carb control drinks a day for 17 g Protein each (WalMart - 4 for $4.87) Good Luck! ~ Chris

    Dr. Mueller did my surgery on 12-3 . . . and everything went well. The $300 fee was for the year of exercise classes - made up of just his patients - and also for the monthly support group sessions we are required to attend for a year. Also - one jar of Whey Isotobe . . . I'm very happy with his office - and I get my first fill on Jan 2. He said he was fairly agressive with the fills. So . . . one week from today I start a new phase of this journey.
