Just wondering how you are doing. Hope all is well.

Hi how r you doing i've had some good days and rough days but things our getting better hope things are great for you ......

I'm doing well. We just had a housefull of guests, but now have our house back. I took out my own stitches saturday. Big mistake. 3 of the incisions popped open. I'm now managing them with strei strips. I wish the surgeon ould have used at least double the number of stitches. As far as eating, its been difficult to read the signals from my stomach. I have been eating tiny amounts of meat and cheese, some bread and crackers, and trying to stay hydrated. How are things going for you. I'm down about 23 lbs so far but only feel like I've lost 5.

How's it going? We made it!!

Hope you are doing well

Well? How are you doing? Thus far my only difficulty is some soreness in my abdomen region but that is to be expected. The other thing I struggled with obviously is going to sleep. I slept great the night before and being put under and then napping in and out all day... I just couldn't go to sleep. I had no problems walking around. As a matter of fact I've been roaming the halls for about 10-15 minutes every hour. Oh I also have THE driest mouth and a sore throat. Its like I ate a desert. Luckily for me they are allowing me to rinse out with water and some pink swabs so long as i dont swallow. That helps but it is only temporary. Other that that listed above I feel great. Which makes me so excited about the upcoming months. Which is probably another reason I can't sleep. I'm just excited!!!
I hope my "Surgery Date Partner" is doing well and that your recovery is a great process!

Luckily I have not had to do the liquid diet. My only required three planned meals with two snacks. My dietician said she wanted me to chew food until the last possible moment since I won't be chewing after the surgery for awhile.
Since im a football coach ive been around protein drinks for awhile so I'm used to them.
Wow!! While on vacation?!? Great will power! Kudos!
Since May 22 I've lost 16 pounds so far

Good luck to you. Two days and I'm getting scared. How was your Pre-op? I didn't find it to be dreadful as everyone else. I guess it helped that I just kept busy.

Sending safe travel wishes and good luck to you.Hope you have fun tomorrow. Wish I were there with you.. Keep us posted

Hey there,

Found you on Ravelry (I think), I am so excited to get my sleeve. You will have to let us know how are you getting along. My Ravelry ID is dyeing4you. I used to LOVE to knit socks but have just really gotten over it. I do plan on taking a sock to work on on the trip to MX in July. Hopefully I"ll feel like knitting afterwards, and walking and sipping. Just got in 2 books from amazon The Complete Idiots Guide to Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery and Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies. I really hope it will work. It is a last resort for me. Would love to be in the 200's again! lol Haven't seen those numbers for I can't tell you how long, but a long time! lol Nice to meet you!
