I talked to Thor. She had fallen and as a result of that fall she had some kind of Fluid coming out of her port. quote(My Port site insision had letterly sprong a leak, shooting out like a Water fausset.) I guess she is ok though.

Terry, I'm feeling indecisive. What do you think of going to El Toro for mexican food instead. It is also on Springfield Ave about 2 blocks west of Za's. Let me know what you think. Za's is fine if you don't get the message in time. I'm just having one of those indecisive craving moments.

Penny,

I know you have heard this before, but really, try not to get discouraged. I started working out 5 times a week for 1 hour at the beginning of November. If you click on my ticker and look at my weight chart, you will see I lost almost no weight for a long time and I know there were weeks I gained and just didn't report it. Muscle weighs more than fat, but it takes up less space. So, you may gain a little weight for awhile, but you will look leaner and feel stronger. When you build up a good muscle base, after about 3 or 4 months, you will burn calories much more efficiently. Muscle burns waaaay more calories than fat so when you are sitting on the couch doing nothing on a rainy day, you will feel better knowing that your body is still burning fat because it needs to do it to feed the new muscles you have developed. Hang in there. It was hard for me to make the transition as well. Now, I am thrilled with how my body is taking shape. It is still a major work in process, but I actually have muscle definition in certain areas and my stamina has increased tenfold. It will happen for you too.:smile:

This is my first post, so I don't know if I am doing it right. My surgery is scheduled for March 26 at Carle Foundation Hospital with Dr. Rohrscheib. It is good to see that you are all doing so well. On Wednesday I go for my Pre-Op Physical. Any advice would be welcome.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
