So guys I had my surgery yesterday. I felt horrible all yesterday. I could barely breath because of the gas. I woke up everytime I needed pain meds. My meds made me nauseous so they had to switch them. I couldn't eat ice or Water or take gas x till my nausea was under control. This morning I was still full of gas but I was able to get nausea under control. So I had some water and gas x yay! I have a gi drain that isn't fun. But all in all I'm doing so much better. I got my cath removed and was able to walk a little. I hope all of you stay blessed and have good health. Ill be praying for us all.

Hey everybody! I had my surgery yesterday morning at 9 am..lots of manageable pain, but i am feeling loads better now. I had a hiatal hernia that was about to rupture, i had no idea, so it couldnt come at a better time. I am all fixed up now and ready to get home. I am so excited the scary part is over, now it is official, new beginings! My fellow Septembers, keep your head up..it isnt that bad have a great day all!

My Mom went to the GNC store and brought a TOTAL LEAN shake vanilla bean flavor. It has a fantastic taste. It has 25 grams of Protein. To me it tastes like an ice cream shake.

Strawberries and cream is awesome!!!

I'm grew up in Manhattan. My brother went through the World Trade Center almost every day to work. I can't imagine having been there that day...

Is horrible because it is a constant reminder but we only got memories. I just find it kind of weird that the tourist at NYC like to take pictures with the victims family. One year a tourist from France wanted a picture with us. They were nice but still weird.

I remember going with my husband to a FF station and just standing there in pure shock.. people just dont know, if they werent there to witness it first hand it is something you never want to speak of again,, I just stood there with tears rolling down my face, like they are now as I type this,,, it is a day and so many that we spent down there that so many people just dont want to speak about.. I hope your daughter can one day start the healing process and not only her but you too... <3 <3 <3

hi everyone I like the way the list is looking half of us are post op whoooo whoooo

Today I got a call from my std company and I am set until nov 5 per my dr recomendation. 6 weeks off 5 weeks paid at 66% hope I make it financially. I live with my son and he will be working overtime to help with bills(he is 26) plus I live in a house owned by my father so he might be inclined to give me a break on the rent during my time off. I own a home in TN that i rent out for 300 less then the mortgage so i have that expense i must meet. plus the tenent sent me a 24 item repair list last month that sent me over the edge. Once i called her and sent her an addendum to the lease detailing what repairs are my responsibility, a pet addendum (she has 2 lg dogs and no pets was written into the lease), and a clarification of late fees (i never got the rent on time or the full amount since she moved in) she begged me not to add pet trent to the lease. I agreed and things calmed down. I authorized her to use the 250 pet deposit for the repairs and relented on the pet rent an additional 25 per pet per month. In return I hope she stops nit picking the house and gets a boyfriend to do the maintainence she wants(i am so not her rich exhusband). we are both single moms and talking to her helped straighten out the issues(I did get septs rent in full on time) whew! I am glad to have a tenent that wants the house t be nice and will keep it nice better then the alternative right?

So I have a lot of ducks to get in a row before my surgery and things seem to be falling into place.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
