show off!!!

always nice to welcome a new person to sleeve land

you survived the first 3 weeks PO

woo hoo!!!

keep coming to the board

people will post their questions

many of these posts will be similar to thoughts you might have

ask your questions too

you'll see many great responses from others

advice, experiences, et al

at the end of the day ONLY listen to the good advice of your NUT (me too of course )

NUT stands for nutritionist

follow all of the rules

Water IMO is the most important rule to follow

drink at least 64 oz a day

never drink while you are eating

(people have been shot for less)

after you eat - wait about 45 minutes before you drink

many other things to learn

eat slowly

chew, chew thoroughly

measure your small portions

eat your Protein first

don't eat too many carbs, sugar

the above are just the first of many new things to learn

keep track of all you eat on ie MFP (my fitness pal)

memorize all the answers - test to follow

you look like a "smarty pants"

you might have already known the above

you might find some bumps, hills, up and downs, and the dreaded stalls too!!!

you are on the road to a healthier, happier, longer life

work hard

follow all the rules

i have confidence in you that you will do great

good luck

kathy

congrats

Welcome! I'm 7 weeks PO and recently got over a 2 1/2 week stall. Happy to say I'm 29 lbs done from surgery, 59 lbs done from the beginning of the year.

This is a great place to keep yourself encouraged and to find support during the inevitable hard times. Once again, welcome and of course.... CONGRATULATIONS!

Welcome!! Congratulations on your surgery. How are you feeling?? I haven't had mine but I see alot of negative comments about nausea, Constipation, hairloss, and other things after surgery which makes me have second thoughts about surgery. What are you experiencing??

[jdodge0912 2]

No Hair loss or nausea. I was tired before surgery. To me I'm not as tired as I was.

[jdodge0912 2]

No hunger pains neither. I have to make myself eat and drink. I went back to work on the 21 and I tend to forget about drinking. So I have to set a reminder to drink.
