R gran 1

I also had my surgury Oct.8 and I am doing great. I also noticed I think I am eating to big of portions. I go back Nov 9 and I am so afraid I have gained. I'm hoping to get my first fill. I have not went back to all my old habits but I feel my full feeling is taking more. I keep telling myself ONE DAY AT A TIME. That's how I got this way and that's how I will un-do-it!

Don't worry. The reason we all signed up for this was because we could not do it alone. We are learning and the Drs and their staff are teaching us. If we never had fall backs we wouldn't be where we are today. This is a year or two process plus a life long change. Lets sit back enjoy the ride and learn.

Yeah for Leah our thread starter. Welcome to all the new comers. Yesterday was two weeks since surgury and I really feel so much better. Physically and Mentally. I hope all my kids feel the same.

I guess my dr. is slower then your dr. or maybe he thinks this ol'gran is fragil. Started soft food yesterday for one week and then normal food. I really am not sick or had any trouble eating anything. Gosh I hoped it worked.

I just got on the scale yesterday at my post op two week visit. Two months weight lost 27lbs. Won't expect that all the time but any loss is better then I have had on my own. Put a BIG smile on kids the worst is behind you.

Good luck Lori. We are all GonnaBeFit! Leah and Alijacmom you are on my mind today. I'm willing you both to walk. Ahealthylife and Tannie Good luck to you both too. Trust me you all are going to be fine. Ten days after surgury for me. Tomorrow is my first pre-op visit. I'm on soft food, no pains and very little soreness. If a over weight granny whos kids are older then most of you can do it you can.

you go girl. walk but NO lifting, pulling or pushing.

HOW'S EVERYONE DOING AND WHERE IS EVERYONE? Hang in there kids. Just remember....No Pain, No Gain! I'll be praying for you all tomorrow. ONLY take care of yourself. Walk slow and often. SIP plenty of liquids and Sip them SLOW and constant! No lifting, pushing or pulling. Good luck. It's been 10 days for me and I am doing great. Next I will be saying chew, chew, chew and chew some more before swallowing. That's where I am now.

Somethings we need to check with a Dr.. For a few days my back hurt and I had a headache. Then blood in the urn. Called the Dr., ran test and I had a UTI. All better now. When in doubt call your Dr. that's why he gets the big bucks.

I too put my old wedding band on. It soooooo sparkles! My little gold band that I bought to replace it when it was to tight fell off and my husband found it in the yard. Hey, I think that was one of those what did you kids call it, no scale event?

You can do it. I was told I did better then alot of younger people and I was scared and thought I was to old. Age has nothing to do with it. Good luck.

To soon. Did your Dr. ok that? Two weeks no work I thought.

R gran 1 here. Doing real good. Best advice to future bandsters, WALK don't lift, push or pull but walk. Age has nothing to do with it. Determination! Good luck to all you kids that are coming in the next few days. You WILL be fine.

Hey kids, I'm back. Wasen't bad at all. I would say the hardest thing was all the prep for the surgury. Had it Friday and this is tuesday. I walk often but don't lift, push or pull. Little heavyness where they fixed the hernia but all and all doing great. I hope all my kids are doing as good as me.

Gosh kids we sure have been busy. Well, I added Rumiller, Cj60, msmariahd and va_viv to the well wisher list. Tomorrow I will be thinking of emeraldinthesky and then comes B-day for Gran and her kid bandsters(Lady bug on a mission and Jullian RN) Gosh Karenwinpa I hope that doesn't happen to often. I can't even imagine getting all prepared and then cancelled. I hope I bounce back like most of you kids have.

Good luck to Karenwinpa and Charm1123 today. Prayers are coming your way. Also for Nanookgirl and Hansmerl for tomorrow(tuesday). You get to go on the banded list. Four more days for me, Ladybug on a mission and Jullian RN. I don't know about you but I would love to have something to eat. Can't say I'm really hungry but seeing and cooking food is getting hard. I'm sure Wed. and Thu people are getting nervous. We'll make it and help those who are after us. The not knowing is the worse!

Good for you Soulsista I have been thinking of you and Chinacat31.

Ten days fasting. Four more days left. Surgury Friday. I have cooked for hubby cause I have created a helpless ol man. Only bothered me once. I have broke down twice. Once my family was over and they tried a new pizza place and I had three bites. Also on the day of my col/end tests after no protien drink for two days I had a cup of oatmeal. Knowing me I figured I gained 10lbs for that screw up.

this friday? tomorrow? I will put you on my list. I heard gas x was the best but I haven't used it. good luck

Hey kids. It's been ruff the last two days. I had the colon and endo today. Yesterday and most of today it was no protein drinks. I was a little hungry and VERY dizzy and sick to my stomach. I'm better this evening. Another ol' lady joining us. Great and welcome. Soulsista, I think you are the first. I'll be with you in thought as I am sure all of us will be thinking of you tomorrow. I wanted to write everyones date down so I could pray for them. If I forgot someone I am sorry. I say an extra pray just incase.

I have wrote a few myself lets just think of this as the final chapter.

I wondered what happen to you and how it was going. Four more days and I am pulling for you. Mine is Oct.8th at 6:30am and i'm on post op too. I'm not hungry but do wish I had food when I see it or cook it. Stay in touch with us. Good Luck

Day three and so far so good. Can't say as I am really having alot of trouble with this yet. I have my coffee in the morning and I spread my protien drinks out through the day. Filling in with my jello, brooth and popsicle in between. I am a little tired but I can't say it has slowed me down much. I still do household chores, cook and sew.

Yesterday was my pre-op appt.. My second visit I lost 9 1/2 lbs. Yesterday at pre-op I gained 3 1/2. My loss so far is 6 lbs. Today I have started on the 14 day fast before surgury October 8 @ 6:30 AM. So far, not bad. I cooked breakfast for hubby but have not made dinner yet. I have had 2 protien shakes, cup of sugarfree jello and water. Lots of WATER! I have 3 protien shakes to go, a cup of broth and sugarfree popcicle. I'm a evening eater. That has to change! I am starting to feel a little draggy. They say that will happen but in a few days I will get a burst of energy. I can't wait for that. :rolleyes:Gran

Started 14 day fast yesterday. This is the second day. Not really to bad yet. 5 protien shakes a day, cup of broth,cup of sugarfree jello and a sugarfree popcicle. ALL the water, crystal lite, decaf tea and decaf coffee I want. Was tired early yesterday and dizzy this morning but I can't imagine this for 14 days. I have cooked twice a day as usual for hubby but I'm sure that will get harder.
