Had my 1 week appointment down 11 pounds from the day before surgery' date='including the gained weight after surgery. Now time to start the gym tomorrow.[/quote']

You're ready for the gym? Are you sure you should be pushing it so soon?

How's everyone doing?

I find that I get a little better every day. Today I drove, ran errands, but that left me exhausted. So I had to take a nap. Each day truly gets better and better. Is it the same for you?

I just ran walking on the treadmill instead of outside. . I was told at least 30 min a day so Imma do half treadmill and half elliptical. I'm also using 3 pounds hand weights. Then in like 2 weeks I'll see if I'm ready to advance.

Ugh! I pulled something. I went for my two week check up today and must have gotten in or out of my jeep wrong. Right below my right boob. (I know TMI) Oh wow does it hurt. I was fine!! Use this as a warning Just take it easy!! Ugh!! Can't even take pain meds. They give me a rash. Here's hoping children's Tylenol works!

Wow that's crazy bc I just pulled something under my left boob. I was also running around yesterday.

My new Nordic Track ACT Elliptical gets delivered and assembled within the next hour and I am excited. Unfortunately I won't be able to use it til Sunday though since I dont see a Dr til then and I had open on 8/12 so I want to make sure I am ok to get on it. Also to everyone are you counting your Protein Shakes as part of your liquid requirements?

[Ms. Mandy 14]

I had my surgery Nov 14th. I have had my ups and downs for sure ... After surgery I was diagnosed with blood clots in my right lung. I felt as if I had done something wrong and my weight lose was on hold. I have lost 25lbs so far. Eating and drinking is still tough though. I feel like after one bite I am so full and then can't drink anything for 30 minutes so yes I am struggling to get everything in.
