Well it sounds like every one is doing pretty well with their workouts!
I have been pushing myself at the gym this week. I do the treadmill and ellipitcal for 30 min a piece. I usally do them both at about 3.5 so I decided that when a commerical would come on tv, that I would up it to 4.5 and let me tell you I have muscles in my rear end that are really noticing that little push. So I callenge you ladies to give your self a little push in your workout also! Let me know how it goes for you and what you are doing.

Hello every one! Before surgery I had told my husband that I wanted to weigh, measure and take a picture as close to the 2nd of each month, since that is the day I was banded. Well I weighed, measured and failed to get the picture taken. But I have not lost any weight in a few weeks now but I have not gained either. But I'm excited the most about the measurements. So are you ready to hear what there are? I lost 2 1/2 inches in my breast ( I'm hoping that is more from the fat on my back or under my arms than my breast please!) I lost 1 inch from my waist and 3 inches from my hips. I'm so glad I decided to measure. The scale might have stopped showing the lbs coming off but the measuring tape picked up where it left off for me.
So are you excited about some thing and would like to share it! Please tell us, we would love to hear what it is!

Eyewonder I'm glad you decided to sit down and tell every one how you was feeling. It did you good and I know that it also helped some one else for you to post this information. Thanks and know you will be in a lot of minds come you surgery. We will be there with you!

Ok I have entered all of the May surgeries, If I missed yours, please let me know so I can get you added.

Going on two weeks! Tuesday will be two weeks

Tammy
thanks for feeling us in on your Friday test. I'm glad every thing is fine and you surger is going to be able to happen for you. I've been doing ok. other than going stir crazy. I can't wait to get back to work. I hope I will get to go back on Thursday, I see the doctor on Wednesday.

Ok we have talked about what kind of diet we were on before surgery. Now lets post what we are allowed to eat after surgery and when we are allowed to eat and how that went for you.
The day of my surgery and the day after my surgery I was on clear liquids only. I drank apple cranberry juice that had to be deleted 1/2 & 1/2 per the doctor. Those two day went ok! I had to take small sips at a time. The doctor instructed that I use a medicine cup to drink from. I thought that was a good example to get my drinking sips correctly.
Than on the third day I got to eat food. My diet called for breakfast 2oz. of cream o wheat very thin. Ate it 1/2 a tsp at a time. took me about 30 minutes to eat. I thought it went ok. Until I stood up to clean out the dishwasher and I got dizzy and nausea. Than I got afraid to eat. My mom came over during late afternoon so I tried to eat again. This time I was to eat a little more. Lunch was 2oz cream of chicken soup and 2oz. of yogurt. Here is what I did this time. I dipped my spoon in the soup and licked the spoon off. I ddin't put any thing on the spoon just dipped it and that went ok, I also ate my yogurt this way. I was suppose to have 2oz of soup and 2oz of pudding but I was not feeling hungry so I skipped supper. and of course I had to get in my 48-64oz of water.Which I'm sure I got the much water in. Now this is my diet for the next two weeks. So let us know what your diet consist of since you had surgery.

My diet will change to puree foods two weeks after surgery. And a month after surgery I'm pretty much back to normal with lots of chewing of my food.

Ok I have entered all of the May surgeries, If I missed yours, please let me know so I can get you added.

Had surgery today every thing went pretty good. I arrived at the hospital at 5:15 and was back home around 12:30. Every thing went really well. I have some discomfort in my stomach, I explained it as a 3-4 to the nurses for pain at the hospital. The doctor used blue dye in my stomach to make sure every thing was flowing okay inside my stomach. After every thing looked ok to her she glued me all back together and sent me to recovery. As soon as they got me half way awake I was up stairs drinking that nice thick barium shake for my next x-ray. Back down stairs to my room. I asked for a wet cloth to moisten my mouth because I had really bad cotton mouth. A few minutes later my doctor got my x-ray information and told the nurse to get me something to drink. I had a choice of broth, water or crystal light. I choose water. The doctor told the nurse to give me a regular glass of ice water and a little medicine cup to drink from. So you know those little plastic cups that come with liquid medicine at the store, maybe holds 2TBSP of liquid at a time. That is what I had to drink my water from so I would not take too big of a drink. I asked the nurse if I could use the rest room and of course in the recovery room here we don't have the rest rooms in the room so I had to walk down the hall. Walking down the hall was the best. It felt good to get up and move. After using the rest room the nurse walked me around the halls and than asked if I wanted to go home and of course I said Yes. So I went home walked around a little at home and took a nice 4 hour nap because I couldn't sleep last night and have been up for about 4 hrs now. I never had any gas pains but have been burping today which is not like me. Ok that is the best I can describe my day. If you have any questions please ask and I will tell you what my experince was. All I can say I hope every ones surgery goes as well as mine.

I'm heading in to surgery tomorrow and I was on the ensure with high protein per my doctor and I lost 13 lbs in two weeks. The high protein only comes in two flavors which are chocolate and vanilla but don't taste to bad at all.

Ok I have entered all of the May surgeries, If I missed yours, please let me know so I can get you added.

Take all of your pills in with you the next time you see your doctor. He or she will be able to help you with this. Say I'm schedule to go in next week to talk with my dr and was told to bring all medications so the doctor can go over them with me.
