How often do you weigh?
My surgery was on a Thursday so I weigh in every Thursday, I dont think I can handle the fluctuations of weighing in everyday. On Wednesday evenings I am usually very anxious like a kid in for a test the next day and the anxiety doesnt subside untill i have weighed the next day and seen a loss.

I used to hate exercise in all forms but now u cant keep me away from the gym You don't have to be co-ordinated just move your body, work up a sweat and have loads of fun.

Exercise
I started going to the gym on Monday. I have been doing ellipticals and walking around the track, nothing to intense. On Tuesday cos i had heard how great Zumba classes were i decided to try it out and it was so much fun I did it at my own pace so that my port does not flip i worked up some sweat and i was really happy. I took a break on Wednesday. Today there is another Zumba class and i plan to go for it. I have never been an exercise person but i know it would definitely help with the weight loss. i am so happy about the zumba class i don't feel like i am working out at all. find something you love and you will not feel like it is exercise.

April 2011 surgery dates
I had my surgery at the Slimband clinic too on the 7th of April and i flew back to Edmonton (4hr flight) on the 8th. I did not have any issues at all. My surgery went really well and the pain was minimal. I was scared of having nausea during take off and landing, but I had none of that. On the whole it was a pretty good experience. Good luck with your surgery

Post surgery
I am 2 days post op. I have not had any gas pain and the incision sites are sore but not unbearable. I have to be on clear liquids for 5 days before I move to full liquids, this morning my stomach has been growling like an angry lion, don't know how I am going to survive 5 days, I am going to go out today maybe to the mall just to keep my mind off food. I am glad everyone is recovering well.
