@@395Ron How are you doing? We got the letter from your wife in the thread "anyone having surgery in Oct." about your complications. I sent her an e-mail but I bet it went to her spam since she doesn't know me because I haven't heard from her. Hope you are doing better! Miss the positive attitude from you!!! today is the last day of our October List of People! We had a total of 110. I think soon I will be spending more time on the Post surgery forum. Let me know how you are!Praying for you!!!

Hello, I live in Eagle Rock Mo. on Table Rock Lake. 15 min. north of Eureka springs. I'm about 1 1/2 hrs from Springfield. I had my surgery Oct. 8th 3 weeks ago, & doing great!! I had my surgery In Fayetteville with the Roller weight loss clinic there!! Very happy I did it! and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be! I started the October list of Surgery's thread in pre -operation & there is a lot of good info on there, also good info in anyone having surgery in October thread. Best of luck to you, I don't think you will regret it!!

Hello TyTy! Glad you are better today! It's so much better at home for some rest!! I still think sometimes did they actually do anything! But still no hunger & if I hadn't had it with as little as I'm eating I would be starving!!!

Wishing you luck!

You will do great!!! Excited for you & you will look back & be so glad you did it! Today is 3 weeks for me! And still very glad!

My doctor said to wait 2 weeks to try the premier shakes, so you might try again later on. He only wanted me to use the bariatric shakes like unjury those 1st 2 weeks, probably because of the sugar.

Good question, I haven't tried it, but I know it has a lot of sugar in it but not sure if that would bother us!

I'm having a bad day today too!! Didn''t get enough water & protein in yesterday, so headache & no energy today! Trying to make up for it today but it isn't easy! Sending you hugs & hopefully tomorrow will be better!

Well it can't be almost the 28th!! Best of luck tomorrow! We will be praying for a good outcome! @@Tina1969 @@ImBringingLisaBack RNY

Good to hear & I bet your puppy missed you!!!! I bet you will get better everyday!!!

We hope so!!! :-) I suspect as we all arrive on the other side of this we will be spending more time in the Post surgery section on here!! Best of luck & be sure to let us know how you are doing!!

@@anewme2015 The weight loss is awesome!!!! What a great attitude!!! You will get through this nice & slim & healthy!!

Wonderful!!! Everything works out for a reason!!!!

Im doin great....yes im 7days post op.....just still trying to figure out my eating schedule....i mean i feel perfectly fine i take in.the right amount of protien and fluids with no problem....but i still feel hungry sometimes is that bad? Sent from my LGMS323 using Tapatalk I didn't feel hungry but I wanted to taste something different, or chew. You may be feeling thirsty. Glad your getting everything in thats a big hurdle that some have a hard time with.

Glad your doing well! Its amazing how a surgery that sounds so painful is less than expected, thank goodness!!!

I'm so glad they caught it, but I'm sure your a little disappointed! Time is flying by, it will be here before you know it!!

@@Cali_Angel We are thinking about you!!! You will do great!

So good to hear!! Its amazing isn't it! I was so worried before mine. Nothing like I expected! I didn't sleep before surgery & only 2 hrs in hospital, so by the time I got home I was exhausted!! You will be too. Then the boring sip sip sip starts!!! Sounds like you got this!!!

I will have to check it out! I noticed you do a ricotta bake, its probably the same one I do! One of the first things I made when I could eat soft foods! I made homemade chili a couple of days ago, my normal recipe except leaner beef & no sausage. Ate 1/2 cups of it & had no problem! I do add a lot of beans to it.
