Hi Bonnie,

Have a question for you. Most of the posts have sleeve patients staying in the hospital 1 night. I'm sure you did the same but I will probably leaving the Surgery Center 6-7 hours after surgery. How did you do? That's the one part that worries me.

Hi thanks for the Welcome!

Hi Bonnie! How are you doing?

So glad to hear you are doing well! I am doing great too. Stalls have been short also, exercising quite a bit (4x/week cardio 2x/week strength training) although I am sure that might go down a bit b/c I report to school on Monday. Food issues hmmmm I can't think of any off the top of my head-haven't even tried potatoes! I tried 2 bites of a biscuit (I know right?!) and I could feel it lump up so that was that!

Hi stranger I hope you are well!!!

Hi Bonnie,
I just wanted to say how thankful I am for you. I have been searching different blog posts from the site and see lots of comments from you to everyone. You have such great advice, and you are very encouraging! Thank you for that!

Thanks for welcoming me to this site!!

Bonnie I too have both knees that have very bad bone spurs that need to be shaved so I too should never run which makes me sad but that ELIPTICAL is a life saver and I think I actually get a better workout than running anyways. As your weight comes off is like being in space literally you feel weightless and as time goes on hiking that mountain EASY!!! Yes no marathon but I look at my life as just that a great marathon!!! Keep it up because you are an athlete and you can do it.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I might try the skim milk. I like it anyway. I tried the 2 percent with my protein shake and it made me queezy. How many calories are you getting in a day? Around 6 to 800 for me. I think he did a good job with the surgery as well. Going to get me a bike too the first week of july. I love bikes.

Hey! Doing well. I can also eat 3 to 4 ounces at a time and drink normally. I also need a nap daily. Fatigue more than sleepy. Oh....do you eat 3 times a day or 5 times a day? I like 5 but can we do that? Lol?..drinking milk is the only thing that doesn't agree with me so far. Just ready to get more weight off of course. Hubby keeps fixing me up when it's time to eat...good stuff.

So glad to hear things are well! I feel the same as you, I honestly feel fantastic and don't feel like I've had surgery....guilty b/c it's been easy. Not one regret!

Hope you are doing well!

I am doing great. I have my appointment Friday. I am back home and glad to be here. Loved seeing my dad though. I just get a little fatigued still during the day and have to take a nap lol. Hope that will go away soon though. Glad to see you are doing well. Please keep me posted

Concentrating on getting my liquids in, then my protein so I don't dehydrate....but things are good....taking it day by day
