tjmom 200 Posted May 12, 2012 Day 9.... big mistake, for me, adding Protein to my serving of cream of wheat! ....trying a new food AND adding protein did not sit well.... Did not throw up, butter did upset my stomach... So, rest of day i ate: sugar free pudding (snack), Protein Shake for lunch, then had devil chicken breast for dinner.... Yum! ... evening snack: unsweetened applesause .... nausea did not return..... I wish all you mothers out there a "Happy Mothers Day" on Sunday.... Enjoy your children, your grandchildren and be proud of the road you are on... We are headed in the right direction to a healthier and happier life! healing hugs to us all, sandy/tjmom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kat1 24 Posted May 12, 2012 Sorry to hear that you had a rough day. I will keep that I mind not to mix together. Have a super Mother's Day. Keep up the good job. I try to look ahead not behind. I think there is something good in every day. Especially when I run late for work lol. I know the day has to get better. Enjoy Sunday Sandy.

New_Hope 54 Posted May 12, 2012 Should get my insurance approval by this next Thursday. Then they will schedule my surgery. Think I might start my Liquid Protein diet on Monday, maybe that will speed up surgery schedule date Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Missileer 3 Posted May 12, 2012 I'm 55 and nearly 4 months post op. I'm down 75 pounds today and three sizes of clothes. I'm almost ready for another new belt. The current one is on it's last notch (may have to punch another hole in it first). The skin is not sagging anywhere and it appears to be gradually shrinking back into place.

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted May 13, 2012 It's good to see so many people in their 50's join this thread.I'm happy that so many people are getting sleeved now. I can't believe I celebrated my 3rd surgiversary already. I really can't believe I will be 60 this October. The sleeve has made me feel so much younger because I am so much more active now. I guess I'll have to join the 60's thread in 6 months Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjmom 200 Posted May 13, 2012 Thank you kat1.... yes there is something good in everyday.... Day 11....(Mothers Day and my husband birthday)... don't worry everyone i am sure i am going to stop "daily" posting some time soon, its just right now everyday is filled with newness... brunch with friends.... First time at an "eating" gathering....they knew about my sleeve so it was adorable....she had it set up buffet style and every entree had a 1/4 cup portion already puree'd .... tears of friendship rolled down my face. My husband was pushing my wheelchair while i was deciding on food....i took puree chicken... Then the host removed all the puree'd portions and made me a to-go bag.....i am truly blessed.... So, i will close for now, hope everyone had a great Mothers Day. I know i had one i will never forget... tjmom/sandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted May 14, 2012 That was so sweet of your friend to do that for you! I remember so well what it was like to socialize and worry about how it's going to be, eating with friends. I am glad it went so well! Happy Mother's Day everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjmom 200 Posted May 14, 2012 Oregondaisy....i was so nervous about going, there we about 10 people going to be there...but like i said they all knew about my surgery so that was the deciding factor....(and i had a Protein Drink in my purse)... lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Queen of Crop 1,104 Posted May 14, 2012 Wow Kat! What an awesome friend!!! So that's another plus on the board of WHO SHOULD I TELL??? Seems to me that most people are divided on that front (me being on the side of not telling). But your story sure supports the side that does tell. My first dinner party was a total disaster; the hostess went to so much work and I couldn't eat anything......I still feel so bad about that. Keep posting; we're all interested and excited for you.
