You look amazing!

How are you doing? I am down almost 50 lbs and feel so much better about myself. I still have a good ways to go yet. Would like to lose al least another 50 I know the weight has slowed but still loosing . Let me know how you are. Plus have you found your go to food yet? I have egg beaters every morning as my protein start I usually add mushrooms then use the southwestern beaters. pretty good for me

We had the same beginning week and have lost about the same amount by the end of the second month. I have flexible goals and I only weigh myself once a week because my doctor had me obsessing over my day of surgery weight. YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB!!

You are right. I went to my nutritionist and I have not been getting enough protein. So its back to the band wagon

Most days I have no pain however yesterday was not one of those days. I did go to the gym though so maybe I just over did it. My surgeon won't release me to go back to work until 12/1. I'm a float pool nurse though so I do a lot of lifting some days. I'm on pureeds until Thanksgiving and that's going well. I have no nausea and feel the restriction I'm suppose to feel as long as I eat slowly. I weighed myself today and am down 5 lbs from this time last week to 229. Happy the scale is moving in the right direction.

It has been a few days since I got on. Feeling better?? My job is mainly scheduling and teaching pts. So 99% I do no lifting. Just sitting which is not good either but just really hope that 10 days will be good enough. Worried about this but will see shat happens.

Not yet, I see the Dr. on Friday and from what I heard, I won't be released yet because of the lifting weight limit. Not sure though we will see and yes I am feeling much better. The constant pinching I was feeling in my left side has almost subsided. I am so sick of liquids though. I'm so ready for puréed/soft foods. My dr. Filled out my FMLA off til 11-30, that was before surgery though. I hope I don't have to be out that long though. I will keep you posted.

Sounds like you are starting to feel better. I am also a nurse and have only scheduled 10 days off. Most of the time I either sit or stand in surgery. Have you gone back to work?

Well I am doing better, but I must say, recovery has been slower for me then I anticipated. I have been having a Pinching sensation in my left side that has gotten considerably better as of waking up this morning. I spoke to the dr's office about it and they said it could possibly be the way he stapled the stomach and just to keep an eye on it. I absolutely dispise the multivitamins. I choose. They make me nauseous every time I take them. Other then that I am doing real well. I ready I'm about ready to increase my activity level. I follow up with Dr. You next Friday and boy am I ready for some puréed foods! Thanks for asking, how's the classes going?

How are you feeling? Its been about a week now... are you able to get up and around like normal yet? Just curious as to your status

I am hanging in there. Just anxious, I'm so freakin sick of liquids. I did speak with the nurse that works with the doc and she answered some of my questions I had about what was actually included in the full liquid diet. I just threw up for the first time and it was immediately after I took my MVI. It made me quite nauseous this mornig also but I was able to keep it down. My emotions are all over the place, I have been crying a lot today and quite bitchy but I think that's just because I'm not used to taking it easy. I am used to running non stop but my body has been letting me know since the surgery I am overdoing it. I may attempt to go for a walk around the block tonight, I need to get out. I drink the Unjury Protein shakes. They taste just like Chocolate milk to me and the unflavored I tolerate quite well in my pudding or soups. I'm glad to hear your doing ok. Thanks for checking in, it's nice to know I'm remembered! ��

4 days post op. I am still sore but no nausea. I am having trouble getting all the liquids in. What brand of shakes to you like? How are you feeling?

Surgery went great but I am very sore especially on my left side. I think I underestimated the pain I may be in. I am not having any nausea or anything thank goodness and just started passing gas this morning. (Sorry for tmi!) I actually very excited to be able to start full liquids tomarrow. I miss my shakes! How are things with you?

I had my surgery on Thursday and I am home now. Feeling sore but not too bad.

How did your surgery go
