I am off the shake thing, too. I can't stand the smell. I am doing ok, but smells do me in. I can eat a little, about 2 oz's , aometimes less, but I am able to drink a little more , which has helped the hydration thing. Let me know what you get in the mail. I have unjury, and that is a little better. I can use the babnna muscle milk ok. Do you have a HEB grocery store? I buy Mootopia, and that has 12 gms of protien a serving, 1 cup. I try to get down 1 cup a day, and cottage cheese. Take care yourself.

I didn't go to Mexico. I had my @ Baylor Dallas, that's where I work as well. So it was good. I'm doing well. I weigh myself every 3 days. So it's weigh in time in the morning. I'm still only able to eat just a few spoonfuls. How are things with you? R u doing protein shakes? I had to stop my drinks. Thy made me sick. But I'm getting another brand in the mail soon that I'm gonna try. I really hope all is well w/ you. Take care & talk to you soon!!

Harker heights is way down about 20 miles from Temple. Things are going pretty well. I am sleeping alot, and yes, I can drink about 2 ozs, and thats all Folks, today is the first time I have been hngry, but the tv and house are full of sights and smells of food. I got dehydrated some last week. I am going to start to ride my recumbant bike on Thursday. Merry christmas! Take care of yourself, . Please let keep in contact so we can compare how we are doing, ok? I didnt go to Mexico, did you?

Congratulations! Hope all is well and you're resting comfortably.

Sending prayers your way that your surgery goes well and you have a quick recovery!

Good Luck Today!! Hope you have a safe and speedy recovery!

Yes, great, really. Everyday is better too. I didn't have any problems. I sometimes forget that I recently had surgery, lol. It's easy to forget...nothing hurts. I still have scabs that cannot be 'removed'... I just have to be patient and wait for them to be ready. I don't walk like I should, but I park further from the door of the store on purpose now. I am working harder on getting more fluids in too. Eating now, really feels more like a chore and not something I enjoy...certainly not like before, especially since I can't gorge. I know that sounds bad, but it's true. Eating is a chore, because you have to go SLOW or suffer the consequences! I often feel that I don't have the time to eat so slowly...but my sleeve reminds me EVERY TIME. I am very excited for you!

Soon, baby, sooooooon......

It's almost time lady! You are going to do great

Good luck and God Bless, my freind is in Surgery right now.

I'm having surgery Monday in TJ, Mexico. My husband is going with me, but only for support, lol. He's already thin...forever, genetically. I am excited and happy! We fly tomorrow! ttyl

Just wanted to stop by and say hi! I'm sure you're excited about your date coming up too. I wish you the best!
