Sorry you are feeling yucky . . . hope tomorrow is better.

Good job! We're all so happy for you . .. and envious! Keep up the good work.

I agree with Sandra . . . I slept in a recliner for a couple of nights. And yes, every day will get better. ** Hugs **

Welcome aboard! I'm so glad things went well for you.

Welcome aboard! Glad you are doing so well. Keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks for the update . . .love hearing how it is going for you and glad it is going so well!

Lap2fab and smiley8 . . can't wait to hear how your surgeries went . . .read up on this site and you'll get a good idea of things to watch for and questions to ask and things to do . . .so much information here. God's best to you both!

Yep . . .here we go!!

It sounds like you're doing pretty well all in all. I would suggest to keep trying to get in all the protein that you can. I don't think anyone gets everything in the first few days, but it gets better. The swelling will go down and you will be able to handle a little more at a time. I am in my fourth week post op and still have some discomfort at my port incision - pretty typical from what I read. Good luck!

Welcome aboard! Keep us posted on how things are going. This is a great site to get answers to all sorts of things that will come up.

Everyone is different. I took two weeks and am really glad I did. I thought I could go back after one week off - and I think if I had to I could have, but the second week really gave me time to recoup and build back my strength. My job is at a computer and sitting was a little uncomfortable - I am in my 4th week post op and still having a little "discomfort" (not pain) at my port site. Best wishes in your surgery . .. keep us posted!

Great! Good luck with the fill .. . hope it helps you continue on your weight loss . .

Hey Maggs . .. hang in there. You will get it all worked out. Sorry you're having trouble, but it sounds like you're on the right track. Best of luck!

I get filled up when I eat a meal with chicken (3 oz.) and a vegetable (1/4 c), then a fruit or carb. I am still supplementing with a protein shake in order to get in enough protein. I am not eating a full cup at each meal yet (but I'm only in my 4th week). I had a concern earlier with only taking in 465 - 500 calories and had to up that a bit. I haven't had trouble with any foods yet, but have been really, really careful (no bread, etc.), and I chew everything really well. I have been using a lemon pepper marinade and cooking the chicken in it on the stove top (with a lid) - it's really moist and tender. Good luck!! Rose

What an encouraging post Giby, I am glad things are going well for you. Keep up the good work!

Good for you Tina - a pound off feels great, doesn't it? Keep up the good work, it sounds like it is working for you. Congratulations.

Woo hoo - small victories, one after another . . . keep going!

Good for you raajr . . .take it easy and be good to yourself - take time to heal. I am 3 weeks post op and my port incision is still quite sore. Everyone heals differently, but I understand that this is quite common. Best wishes and keep us posted on your progress.

Amen. And yes, listening is often lost in the busyness. You have a good heart. Take care of yourself. Best wishes as you head back to work.

Wow . . I hope this works well for you. It sounds like a good plan. Good luck!

I hope things go smoothly for you, but be prepared for some bumps . . .just keep doing what is required and you will get there. Best wishes and prayers for both you and your hubby. My son finished his service with the Marines last year and we're so glad to have him home. God's best to you both.

I have that book, nbrett. I have another one too and I like the Weightloss for dummies better. Some good recipes. I just ordered the one by Margaret Furtado - it is supposed to be highly recommended and I previewed it online and it looked good. So, a lot of jibberish to say that I think the book is pretty good.

I am so sorry Leigha, what can I say? Better days ahead and hang in there. Lesson learned on the bagel for now, huh? Back at it tomorrow .. . I know, I know . . yadda, yadda, yadda . .. but I really am sincere and wish you the best.
