  1. I must admit each day does get better. My first day out I went into complete melt down mode however, today I feel up to taking a early morning walk. Ive been on sf jello, and water. Today I'm adding Unjury chicken broth and vitamins.
  2. Surgery went well, after a few hours of being in the hospital it became so overwhelming. I had an anxioity attact. I came home yesterday. Still overwhelmed. Please keep me on prayer. Sharon

  9. I am anxious, the last few days I've been getting my home in order doing laundry, cleaned my bed and bathroom. I finish up at work tomorrow and I will be off til 8/28, today I plan to do some shopping for some easy accessible foods. My doctor said I will come home straight to puree so I'm going to get some yogurts, cottage cheese, baby food, broths, and of course Protein drinks. I was told as long as it is <5 grams of sugar I will be ok. I am so ready. Although, I no any of you guys, please keep me in prayer. Sharon x
  10. I can understand your feelings, not that I'm scared its just hard to rap my mind around being skinny, let's not sweat the small stuff. Embrase the new you to come.... Much success to you!!!
  11. Well this is my second time around, Back on May 25th I was scheduled even made it to the operating room. When I woke up I was so excited and thanking the Lord for bringing me through surgery successfully. Only to be told that I had a hiatal herneia that was so large my stomach was 1/2 way through it and in my chest cavitiy. It was detected during my pre op but we did not imagine it to be so large. So today, Im going for pre op testing again today, I have a new date for Aug 10th praying all goes well today!!!
  12. My surgery is 8/10 so this week coming, I want to enjoy but not over do my most favorite foods.
  13. Pizza, pasta, Chinese food and reese peanut butter cups.
  14. I purchased Pure Protein canned shakes frosted chocolate @ 35g per can from Vitamin Shoppe, and Unjury Strawberry Sherbert 20g per serving.
  15. I choose the lap band and was scheduled for 5/25/12 I was actually on the operating table. My doctor noticed a large hiatial hernia so he repaired that instead. Now he will only give me RNY because lapband may cause future complications. I'm a little nervous but I want this.
  16. Well wishes to you "charm".
  17. Wow! I was scheduled for the lap band on 5/25 I was in the OR about to have the procedure and my doctor opt to repair a giant hiatal hernia instead. He is now recommending the sleeve he said I would do better with that. I now have to heal for about 2 months, but I'm excited. Good Luck to you also_!!
