So far it's good. How are you?

[prettyandbrwn 40]

So far good, you? Hardest part is being boredom the puréed food options

I've been dry heaving 24/7

[busybee3 6]

I am doing well. It does get boring with the puree foods. Keep up the good work!

My surgery date was July 17, 2015.

I was lucky to meet another surgery candidate while at the NUT ed session the day before our surgeries, and we have kept in touch. She only lives 4 hours away from me.

Her journey has been quite different than mine, she went into cardiac arrest on Day 2 and was taken to ICU. Of course the hospital staff couldn't tell me and I was so worried. She stayed in the hospital 5 more days. Meanwhile I was frantically calling her house and leaving messages. When she finally called I was so happy to hear from her!!

She is a nurse so I really appreciate her advice about all things bariatric, and I mail her my larger clothes.

She is kicking my butt in terms of weight lost, I am doing better than she is with exercise.

She no longer has high blood pressure, I no longer have diabetes.

Its a very good connection, I am grateful.

I had surgery the same day as well I'm down 60lbs. How about you

JenyP,

My surgery went very well, I was off pain meds the first day, (except Tylenol for my caffeine withdrawal).

I am down 57 pounds, now. My waist measurement went from 44 to 36.

My bariatric buddy from Eau Claire who went thru at mayo Clinic the same day as I did, tells me she has lost more than 90 pounds.

They say we are all different, and I know she had some pretty scary issues with hers. She's much better now, and no longer has high blood pressure, but is experiencing some shoulder pain.

Me, type II diabetes is under control, and only yoga class makes me ache.
