I walked post-op and do Jazzercise now 4-5 times a week, great fun and very addicting

After two days on broth, I was gagging. I survived by straining canned soups, pea, lentil, chowder, stews and egg drop. It was fine, I wouldn't have made it otherwise.

no, I am not a caffeine drinker.

Hi Everyone, So I had my surgery on friday, everything went well, while the doc was in there he found a hiatal hernia which he repaired. My gas pain is basically gone, now I just feel bruised up and especially around the port. I am on tylenol because I had an allergic reaction to the percocet. Started my protein today, have been having headaches anyone know what could be causing them? Yesterday I was quite sore and had "what did I do" moments but just tried to keep positive thoughts. I also want to THANK everyone who posts because it really helped me know what to expect and when I was going through the gas pains I tried everyone's suggestions. Thanks Everyone.

I can't remember where I saw this, I think it was another bandster that recommended it, but it is a website with a lot of shake recipes, they sound yummy. Men's Health smoothie Selector

Welcome, good luck on your journey. I begin mine on Friday April 25th.

Thanks Ceradad

I too don't have time to research what you are up to if anything. Don't use my comments in anything you write if you are writing anything.

Thanks Everyone I appreciate it

I have a surgery date. April 25th, which is next Friday, I am excited and a little nervous about the anesthesia. I can't believe it, everything has gone so smoothly for me that I feel any minute I am going to get a call and someone says "belated april fool's". Thanks for all your support!

thank you, this helps a lot

A couple of weeks ago I saw a post, it was quite long with a complete list of things I might need before surgery. Shakes, GasX, Drinks, Electric blanket etc.. Does anyone know where I can find it? Thanks

I have decided to tell only a few people. I told my brother & his wife, and another sister-in-law 2 weeks ago that I was going thru this process and they were against it. Try one more diet, are u sure you have tried everthing, just exercise more. My husband was on the border, but has now come around (he was worried about the surgery). So basically I have only 4 supportive people in my journey and have decided that if anyone asks when they see me eating less or doing liquids that I will just say I have an upset stomach or something. This is ONE more thing I am trying and want it to be the LAST thing I do to beat my weight issues. Good Luck and don't let anyone get u down, they don't know what it is like to live in our skin!
