    Hi,

    Thanks for your message. I am actually terrified and keep changing my mind about having this surgery. I'm sure I will be ok tomorrow.

    Thanks!!!
  4. At first fluids are hard. Have you tried Carnation instant breakfast the sugarfree kind? It has the same amount of protein and all the nutrients that a protein shake has, but I think they taste better! They are not so thick, and you can choose they type of milk you want too. My surgeon prefers the instant breakfast to the other protein shakes because its fresher and you have more options. Glad your surgery went well! Soon you will feel a lot better.

    Thank you for the message. My surgery went really well and I'm home. I do have trouble drinking my fluids and can't seem to gag down the protein shakes. Hopefully that gets better with time. So far I'm walking, sleeping and sipping. Take care of yourself. Tamera

    Thank you for the well wishes.
  7. I feel really good! I am off pain meds, and just waiting for my doctors appointment on thursday so he can clear me for the soft food stage. I have lost 12lbs in a week, so I feel pretty good about that!

Yoga is amazing!

by Coloardian on 03-29-2012 at 10:21 PM
I have started taking yoga classes, and I love them! My favorite is relaxation yoga. I have degenterative disc diease and have very bad back pain because of it. I have had it for ten years, and every day I have pain. With the relaxation yoga I go pain free for about 4 hours after the class! Its amazing, after the class you feel so good, you feel relaxed and taller. Yoga is great for those just starting exercising because you are not jumping around like a crazy person, and if you start off in the

one week post opp

by Coloardian on 12-26-2011 at 03:51 PM
i am now one week out of surgery, and I can't believe how well I feel! I really thought I would be feeling a lot worse. The first four days were not the greatest, but the fifth day I seemed to turn the corner. I am on the pureed stage of the diet, and can't wait to move to soft foods. I have lost twelve pounds in one week, which is amazing! So far I am very happy with my surgery! Fingers crossed it keeps going smooth! Thanks for all the support!

I am hoping to try some soup later. Any sugesstions? I hate the pain medication they gave me, it tastes horrible! It makes me gag, and I dont know if
