This web sit is a food and exercise tracker. I'm looking for friends that we can follow each other. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/

Still no luck in finding it. It's interesting getting a women's prospective on the opportunity to upgrading "BOTH" ring set's. :- )

Looks good,

I woke up this morning and noticed my wedding band is not on my finger. My wife haven't noticed yet. I better tell her before she does.

I haven't heard that. I know if you have a new heart valve you need to.

Welcome and good luck on your journey. There is a wealth of knowledge hear that you can tap any time you want.

You will get alot the support here. At lease my wife will talk to me about it now. That's an improvement.

My user name is "ppaulvsk" on http://www.myfitnesspal.com/. Lets do this together!

The end of my first week.and I feel great. My liquid diet could be better but it's only for another three days. I've lost 19 lbs and dropping. I'm walking 30 minus day and working in the yard. I need to remember to drink my water while outside thou. I went to the hospital today for a test for another think I'm working on. The doctor I was with was vary interested in my trip to Mexico. I asked her to send an email to my PCP and let her know I was doing great. I know it's not going to be like this all the time. But it's nice when it happens. Still working on my family.

Just be thankful it was approved. A lot of us have to go to Mexico to have it done.

My doctor says to make sure you take your iron by it self. Lake at lunch time. The iron effects the absorption of the calcium.

I'm 7 days post op and I have lost 19 lbs so far and I'll be home for another 3 weeks. (I'm an over the road truck driver) Is it weird for me to step on my scale every time I pass it. I know eventually my weight loss will slow down. But it fun seeing it fall off for now. My wife says I'm obsessing. I don't think so. What do you think

I'm looking forward to the first thing I notice other than the scale. Being one week out and have lost 19 lbs.

I guess it goes around. My wife bought a banana cream pie last night and eat it setting right next to me in the living room. My sleeve is only 6 days old.

Leaks are vary rear. Like .5/100% Pain and a fever are some of the symptoms

My doc says, for people on liquid diets, decaf is ok as long as it's cold. I don't think I can do cold coffee

Hi luvs2lose, I'm one day ahead of you I got back from TJ yesterday. To day I went shopping for vitamins, protien drinks and I bought a chicken for home made chicken broth. Can't wait until its done.

Thanks I'll try it and see what happens.

Is it to soon to make my protein drink with skim milk being 5 days out or should I use water?

After waking up this morning to the first day of the rest of my new life. I was thinking of all the stuff I need to do. I have not done any shopping for my food. I need to start a routine for the time I'm home. I'm not going to sit in front on the TV and go walk at the mall. With how good I feel this time is not going to be wasted. But for this morning I need to go shopping and go walk at the mall.

I made it home last night not knowing what my wife was going to do. Well, it was OK. She didn't want to talk and I think that was for the best. For the time I'm off the road (I'm a truck driver) I'm just going to be a good husband and let her talk when she is ready. Ok, back to me. So I'm day 4 and I feel great. Yes, I'm going to have to learn about my sleeve. She is vary unforgiving.( And yes, she is most definitely a she. ) I'm going to have to learning all over how to eat. For now just little sips of Water and let the Jello dissolve before you swallow and take one pill at a time of my meds. Nothing big just little things like that. I just want to say one more thing. Boy em I glad that I did this. I'm finely an official Sleever. And Trish and Dr Ponce were great. I even got Trish to join Skype. Send me a message if you want her user name. Or ask her a facebook.

Thank you for your support.

<div>My yucky mouth was the part I didn't like post op. The next morning they said that I could brush with plain Water and not swallow. I gained 5 lbs. before I left. Now I'm in the hotel drinking some broth.</div>
