I am almost 3 weeks post op and starting to work out, but I am only taking in around 600 calories a day and I don't want to fatigue while working out, but what I am eating is keeping me full. Where should my calorie intake be at this point and with a healthy workout??? Kati

Cottage cheese Bake-2 cups FF Cottage Cheese, chopped Spinach, 1/2 cup parm cheese grated, salt, pepper, and garlic to taste. Mix and bake for 20-30 mins until brown. Tomato Soup, FF cottage cheese, and some goldfish Potato soup Making a sweet potato tonight for dinner. Good Luck!

I am also feeling great! I just had to move my office to another location in the building and was a little worn out afterwards, but I am doing ok. I am going to start jogging next week so hopefully all goes well.

I wonder why it didn't email you..? Maybe sign up again? I am doing very well!! Thank you.

I sure hope you are feeling better now. I still have a little sharp pain on my left side, but it comes and goes. I am feeling almost 100% again...almost!

I'm on a liquid diet till Monday and then mushy foods I think. I have my one week doctor appt Monday and we are going over my stage two diet. I also had a hernia repair. Going to the movies tonight. Good luck and keep in touch!

How are you feeling 3 days post-op?????? Day 1 I was pretty active doing laundry and picking up the house with assistance. Been taking it slow day 2 and 3, did make a trip to Walmart and got a manicure. Just wondering how everyone else is feeling? I'm really hungry and trying to get all my Protein and Water down. Gas pains are in my chest but I have been up more than down walking and also using a heating pad.

How are you feeling? I actually feel really good! Surgery was at 8am and I got home around 2ish. Sipping my protein, broth and I've been sucking air to 2500 since I started at the hospital!! Walking the house and some outside every hour along with naps lol!! So excited for this journey to be here!!

Good luck to all the July 9th Bandsters!!!! Can't wait to hear your story!!

Only 2 more days to wait!! Who else is getting banded July 9th??? I just booked a hotel for the night before to allow more sleep time (if I can sleep that is), I have to arrive at 6:30am and my Band will be placed at 8am!! Atttention to everyone banded so far........How are you all feeling after the band?

I had 4 Protein shakes, 3 bottles of Water one with crystal light, and a Jello. I am almost done with this liquid diet pre-op anyway!!

I started my liquid diet on Monday July 2nd and have lost 6 pounds so far!! HOOT HOOT!! How much did you lose on your pre-op diet?

Congrats!! That is awesome!

Yesterday was ROUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to the movies with some girls to see Magic Mike and didn't order anything....I really wanted some popcorn!!! But I was a good girl!! This morning as been a little better...I did lose 2 pounds yesterday so that is motivation for sure!! I know I want to make the change so I will push on!

I just started my pre-op diet today and I am liquids only. Best of luck!

I just started my pre-op diet today. 7 days for me. This first day is going ok I guess....if daydreaming about food but not eating it counts....?!?!? Best of luck!

I started my pre-op diet today!! Currently having chicken broth...oh yummy!! LOL Actually so far so good, I have had my protein drinks, crystal light, sf jello, and now my broth. I even walked with a co-worker to a sandwich shop on lunch. I can and WILL do this if it kills me!! Good luck to you both!

I think it just depends on what you like taste wise and that you are getting enough protein. I can't remember the exact number, but I think it is 25 grams that your body can consume at one time. Good Luck!! I plan on using www.unjury.com , they have unflavored so you can put it in anything.

Where are you from? Farmington, Missouri The Show Me state!! I am going to show you skinny!! When is your surgery? July 9th, I start my Pre-op diet July 2nd. What excites you most about the surgery? Just being healthy and wearing anything and feeling sexy! What scares you the most? Nothing, I am going to do everything right and I have faith in my doctor!!
