    Hi there petal, thought I'd just say that I'm not planning to return to work for another three weeks, making four weeks off in total. I'm a medical professional and it's not advisable to lift for 6 weeks so I have to have this time off. If I had a more sedentary job I would probably go back sooner.
    The other thing for me is that so many of my work colleagues are sooooo nosey, like hawkeye(!) and they'll be asking me all sorts of questions re my food intake.
    How's the tummy? I feel like I've come out of a boxing ring....... Xx

    This is an early welcome to the sleeve side in January 2015! I actually took about 2 weeks off but you only really need 1 week to adjust to food regimen. I am 9 weeks out from surgery and have lost .....drumroll ......41 pounds today started at 254 and now 213!
  3. Hello ggibbons! I am still going through testing, dietician, etc... I am having surgery in my hometown in Texas. I have an appointment with my Dr. on Nov. 18th, so maybe I will find out a date for surgery. Best wishes to you & keep in touch.

Happy!!!

by HealthyforLife on 03-14-2015 at 09:13 PM
Just want to share how I'm feeling with all of you!!! I had my surgery on 1/26/15. I have lost 37 lbs, & have 63 more lbs to go. I always thought I was a happy person, but didn't realize what a slave I was to food. It controlled my whole life. It seemed like that's all I thought about. It was so comforting to me, to eat whatever I wanted, until I was full, then I hated the way I felt, & the way I looked. I ate, & ate, & ate, until I was getting more & more unhappy in my

Calorie Help!!!

by HealthyforLife on 02-21-2015 at 07:50 PM
I am 5 weeks post op! Doing really good, except I had an appointment with my dietician, & I'm not taking in near enough calories. I keep a log on my phone, for Calories, Carbs, & protein. I can only get in 400-500 calories a day. She said I should be around 800 a day. Can anyone give me any advise?

I'm finally here!!!!

by HealthyforLife on 01-14-2015 at 08:37 PM
My husband & I went to my Drs appointment yesterday. As we were sitting there with the lady to schedule my surgery, she said, how about Jan 26th. In my mind I was thinking it would be Feb or March. I looked at the calendar next to me & saw it was only 2 weeks away. I said, so this means I am on my liquid diet as we speak!!! I found myself thinking about food & how I wasn't going to be able to eat for quite awhile. I had a sad feeling & I didn't like it. I thought to myself
