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!!
