prisytomboy and samijane-how are you feeling today? Everything still going ok?

[samijane 10]

Doing well still.....I've basically tried most of the foods that I ate before since I haven't had any real issues with the different foods. I went to a different doctor today for something unrelated. I'm 3 weeks post op and down 30 lbs. I wear a size smaller clothes and my blood pressure is 120/60. He peeked at my incisions today and said they look AMAZING!!! He even asked what I had been doing because they look so good....funny the only thing is I've been using the old gold Dial antibacterial soap daily since surgery. How 'bout you?? Everyone else??

@aligayle Yes! everything is going pretty good for me! i thought i was in a stall but i'm just at a crawl. i'm getting all my Protein in and haven't been exercising like I want. I tire after about 20-30 minutes. i will attest i have not got all my energy back but keep telling myself it is still early yet. it is TOM for me right now so my cramps/flow is a bit different but i'm surviving.

I am a STL sleever who had my operation with Dr. Minkin at Des Peres almost a full year ago. Have to say i have been struggling. I lost 75 pounds without a bit of trouble, but have stalled since then. Glad to see so many people doing so well. Thought I would check in on the forum and see if it might spur me to get it in gear.

I have my surgery date for next Thursday the 13th! Whoohoo!! Hope everyone is doing well!!!

[ALIGAYLE 20]

Hows everybody doing??? I am 18 pounds down in 2 weeks since my preo-op diet. Couldn't be happier! Now if everyone in my house would just eat cold sandwiches for the next 6 weeks till I can go back to some type of regular food (so I can't SMELL THEIR FOOD!!) But they won't, selfish people...lol. Hope you all are doing great!

Hi!

I'm 32 and live outside STL.

Dr. Minkin is my doctor out of Des Peres. I'm not having the surgery until December.

I was just searching for fellow friends in the area to keep in touch with on this website.
