I am down 35 lbs if you include my pre-op diet. I am 3.5 weeks out.

haha!

Good for you!! I am 6 days post op and I would not have been able to do it! I am still so weak!

It was pretty disturbing and still tender. I cringe at even having blood drawn because I am such a horrible vein carrier. I would have freaked a little coming out to an iv in the opposite hand. I reckon you can chuckle about it now.

Oh yeah...it WAS the anesthesiologist who did mine. I remember thinking, "Oh, he's a doctor, he's got this". lol

I used Dr. Waggoner. His staff is AMAZING! The post-op nurse is a sleeve buddy herself. Dr, Waggoner is super nice and came to see me twice post-op. He is at the new hospital on 290. North Cypress Medical Center. i had a private room and again, the staff was great!

Dr. Waggoner also has post-op groups and they cater in a food type for whatever stage you are in. i,e., liquids, pureed, etc, etc

@seltyl-I was so proud of myself for not cheating but your cheat sounds delicious!!! lol! Have a safe trip and good luck!! Keep me posted!!!

@ ChristyLove-My 14 year old niece told me something yesterday that she heard on Oprah and I knew I would be able to pass along since I loved it so much! The rapper 50 cent said "Don't for something and then worry about it". I LOVE it!!!

@Discordya-Regarding the spinach...I do not have any plans to eat much of it again! hahah I have read your blog and so excited everything is working out for you!!!

@Awesome-Thank you!!! I couldn't think of anything clever and didn't want to use what a lot of other people are using and the this popped into my head! I am definitely changing lanes!!! I thought about the spinach and the liver shrinking but I reckon since it has so much fiber and not carbs it ok. If he would have told me to stand on my head in the corner I would have! Good luck and be good with the juice!! hee hee

I feel your pain!! The Mio in my water has helped a BUNCH and I am aloud a cup of spinach a day that I savor because I can chew!

Amen, Hallelujah and congratulations!!!

Crossing my fingers for you!

Congrats and I love your positive attitude!!

i read your entry and I will say a prayer for you! Did you initially have the band or what kind of revision was it? How much have you lost and health-wise, how do you feel?

God Bless!
