  1. You are doing GREAT in such a short time. I'm a little (lot) older...lol...I'm 63 and looking at my own immortality and trying to get healthy. I don't want to miss out on watching my grandbabies grow up. I have three (2 8 yr olds and a 6 mo old). My kids kinda started late; getting their careers in order first. Which I'm glad of, but which they had started sooner. I'm finding this site very informative and supportive. Good luck to you. Connie

    When I first started Zumba I was the same way. I was also worried that everyone was watching me (really they are not). Finally I said I dont care. I started going again and if I could not keep up I would do my own modified moves (still do actually) I find every time I go I get better and better. Let me know when you try it again. But whatever exercise you do make it fun or you will dread going and that is NO fun!!

    Awh thank you!! At 9 weeks I still dont eat a whole lot. I have to remind myself to get my protein. Some time its hard to eat when I am just not hungry. What I found that is helped the most is going to the gym. I do Zumba 2x a week and a step class 2x a week. Then I try and work in some weights and other forms of cardo.

    Vegimen, if you haven't figured it out yet maybe the admins of this site can help. And maybe there are instructions on the home page. Good luck.

    And I'm sorry about my late answer. I forget to check the message page some days.

    Yes, thanks, I'm doing good. Eating too much, squeezing in as much as I can, lol. I don't mind slow loss, but I think I've slowed down a little too much. Not that I think I've damaged my sleeve, although I have wondered a couple of times....

    Wish I could help but I don't have one of those fancy phones. Mine is an old flip phone, and I can take pics but then they just stay there cause I haven't bothered to find out how to download. I hope I can remember how to download from my desktop computer. That's what I did before but since I only do something like that once in a blue moon....good luck, I'm sure someone else can tell you. I've been thinking about changing my profile pic too.

Not a Dr or a Nurse ,But this helped with the Surgical Sites,

by Vegimen1962 on 09-25-2014 at 12:23 PM
Just wanted to Share this Tidbit: When I had my daughter, I was told to rest and relax: Did I Listen??? NODDA, I tore my Staples and ended up with a Nasty infection and Had to Have the areas Incised and Drain and had to pack sites Daily with Nu Gauze To act like a drain for a week, Did I Learn my lesson??? HELL TO THE YES....So with the sleeve I wasn't going to Make that Mistake Again. Listen to The Dr, I felt a little Protected of the sites, On Day 3,or 4 I bought a Large 6-8"Gauze Wrap.
