    yay! I wish it would go faster. I don't care that people say it's better on your skin to go slow! I just did the wii fit and burned 260 calories. well, i'd talk more but I leave for my midterm in an hour and I need to pay attention to studying! (and showering). What are you doing?

    Hi there! How are you doing since your surgery? I officially started eating soft foods yesterday It was great eating real food: scrambled eggs & cheese for breakfast, Taco Bell pintos & cheese for lunch and then lemon pepper salmon for dinner I went to the dr. yesterday and I am super excited that I can take baths again YAY!!!! I am down to 257 from 286 ... I was hoping for more since I was 271 around surgery date, but don't we always wish for more??

    read second....had to break it up ...LOL
    It is funny all the different plans......so I have just found that I read read read.......and find a balance somewhere in it all. I don't think anything is going to hurt.....I've had no chunks of anything and certainly if it hurt ...I wouldn't do it. I don;t want to cause any kind of leak. I am not to sore.....the only incision that hurts a little is the one where I had two incisional hernias and I guess a fatty tumor was there as well. I continue to wear a support band 24/7. I do have to give myself a shot everynight and I do hate that.....five more to go......something about clotting and the blood.......was in my pre-op bloodwork.......so I brave it and just do it......but don't like it ! I got the go ahead to swim and bike...although haven't yet. I go back to work in two weeks after a 10 week lay off......I really didn't think I was going to get this done during my lay-off. LOL

    READ First ! Have to send in two messages....was to long ! WOW..yours is sure different than mine......makes you wonder who puts together these plans. I was on clear liquids until my first full day home....at which time...I was moved to Full liquids...........this includes : No sugar added carnation instant breakfast, light yougurt---no fruit chunks, Greek yogurt- o fat, the whey protein drinks, condenced tomato soup, and diet pudding that you make yourself with your milk , I have made an egg custard found on the BE website and had that and I've had instant mashed potatoes a few times. I made last night diet choc. pudding with extra protein choc. in it......( also found on the BE recipes) ....but is a little to chocolatty ---and I love choc. next time I will make it with the unflavored protein added. I go on Wed. to have the diet upgraded to purees.....but at my post op diet...the surgeon thought I was already there.

    thats great....I'm not sure I am getting in enough........but I try. Went for a walk down the street tonight with my daughter....that felt good. I have been outside everyday around the yard watering. I made some egg custard recipe I found on Before and after site ( Nutrition - Susan Maria's Before & After Help ) but got some tingey pains after.....so I thought might be to much yet. I have been eating some greek smooth yougurt. A lot of popcycles.....can't say I have touch the jello much....although I have it. You sound like your getting in more than me. I wonder if the headache I have is from the not eating/drinking enough or from my dam tooth....that I had a root canal on a few weeks ago. I go in for my first check with the surgeon on Friday.....I'll see what she says. .... ....catch ya again later I'm sure !

    Hey there....how are you doing? I am doing pretty good, other than having a nagging headache ....which I think is tooth related......never a dull moment? Can't wait to have full movement and bend over again though....that bugs me...I hate staying still. Hope your doing well....take care........Pam
  9. Thanks! I was so tired until about late afternoon then was walking and sitting in the recliner watching a movie. I passed my blue dye leak test and ate two popsicles and sip on water and chew ice. I wasnt ever nauseated,i had gas pains and aches but not bad. The worst part was the thirst and dry mouth. Im excited and doing good and about to go nite nite!

too much thinking, not enough action!!!

by cinamon on 12-02-2012 at 10:13 AM
I installed an app called Striive on my phone. I used it a couple of times this week. It gives you little goals like to walk so many steps in the next five minutes, or walk two of the next five minutes. You get coins for meeting the goals and then you can decorate your land in this game. It's cute and fun, maybe it'll motivate me sometimes when I'm being a blob because it's in such little steps and once I take that first step hopefully I'll have to drive to keep going.
We've been so busy.

giving thanks!

by cinamon on 11-25-2012 at 09:08 AM
I am thankful for everything- good or bad- because it makes me who I am and it puts me in this place. Wishing, hoping, and regretting only keeps me down. I have to move forward and appreciate all the blessings to keep joy and peace in my life. I also have to be a woman of action and purpose, which I have really been struggling with. I don't seem to want to get started on things- cleaning the house, decorating for Christmas, things that take work- but the easy things- like shopping I have done. I

Need to do the right thing!

by cinamon on 11-12-2012 at 05:35 AM
Maybe part of my problem is that I didn't rely on any kind of support system to help me stay accountable or to be able to talk to people who are sharing the same struggles- like using this site, or attending the support meetings I was supposed to go to, even if I had gone to exercise class regularly I'd have other people who I could identify with.
I know that I have made progress, I look better in clothes and I'm healthier and that's a really good thing. I just feel so ticked at myself

gallbladderless

by cinamon on 03-03-2012 at 10:17 PM
So, why don't all the cute fonts and colors show up when I pick them?
I had my gallbladder taken out Friday morning, laproscopically. I was there for 7am and home for 2pm, and just slept and slept! I am sore, especially on the left side. The gas pains in my shoulder really hurt last night but that seems to be going. I have 5 inch long incisions- some were the same ones as gastric sleeve incisions- all glued shut and looking okay. The ones on the right side itch and burn some- and I was wondering

my birthday!

by cinamon on 02-21-2012 at 01:09 PM
Tomorrow is my birthday! I will be 43! And I will be about 60 pounds thinner than last year! It's not where I thought I'd be- I thought I'd be finished losing- honestly- but I am still overjoyed with my progress. I'm glad it's gone slower than expected- just managing my clothes is a part time job! I'm flabby but it's mostly my fault for not exercising and strength training more (or at all!). I'm in size 18s comfortably. My step-mom just bought me a size 3 maxi sun dress and cute denim shirt at Chico's-
