  1. Thanks everyone . My dr cleared me to work out at 3 wks, but I have a bad ankle , so barely started today. I guess everyone is right , doesn't matter about the time , as long as it gets done. Thanks & good luck to us all
  2. Should I exercise in the evening after dinner or does it matter when? I figured burn off everything I ate, am I wrong or right ? Please tell me!!!
  3. I am getting about 30-45 grams of protein. I don't eat the baby food every day. I'm trying , tired of the shakes, but I will watch the carb intake. Thanks
  4. I'm averaging about 500-650 calories . I'm thinking maybe it's not enough, idk . I figured if it was too much, I would gain weight. Not sure .
  5. I'm eating baby food fruits for Breakfast , Protein shakes , soft veggies, ground chicken , ground turkey , lentils , still soft foods , about 1/2 cup a meal , maybe 4 meals a day . I was sleeved 9/26, I've lost 28 lbs so far. Hopefully this stall will end soon, I will be happy if I could lose 1-2 lbs a week.
  6. It'll be 6 weeks tomorrow & I haven't lost any in 2 weeks, GRRR !! I know we all go through it, but it's so frustrating . Going to start the gym tomorrow , hopefully that will help, at least there's no weight gain. Just had to vent .Any tips would help , thanks
  7. True. I think I'll be ok. I just remember last time I went , seeing a sign that said not to get on if you've had recent surgery . Thanks
  8. It's been just a little over 3 weeks since my surgery , would it be ok to get on roller coasters Just the small ones not the one that spin or go upside down. It's my daughters bday & taking her to Knotts Berry Farm.
  9. It's been 3 weeks since my surgery , I slept on my left side all night , woke up in pain , my stomach is sore, is this normal? Should I not be sleeping on my side , hope I didn't hurt my stomach. How long does it take to heal?
  10. Anyone having tingling & numbness in their hands & feet? I had surgery on 9/26 , is this normal?
  11. I expected a little more loss, but I'm glad I lost something opposed to nothing . We all lose at our own pace . Yes it's disappointing when we don't get what we want , we expect too much , I think. Don't stress , so we will lose slower than others, but at least we will still be losing , it will happen
  12. Lost 13lbs since surgery 9/26 , cleared to start puréed foods & start aerobics , so excited Everything is good so far , anyone have suggestions on what kind of easy exercise to do?
  13. My surgery was 9/26, I haven't weighed myself yet, waiting to step on the dr's scale next week . I did take measurements though, I measured everything 2 days before surgery & I measured tonight & have lost 1 1/2 - 2 inchs in different spots. So Happy!!! Great idea to check your measurements Good luck everyone Sent from my iPhone using VST
  14. Sounds good, I'm going to try it . Thanks !! Sent from my iPhone using VST
  15. Drove for the first time since surgery 9/26, I'm so relieved , getting back on track , went grocery shopping , I feel good. Starting my full liquid diet , bought cream of chicken Soup, SF pudding , so excited to eat something different. Hope everyone is doing good Have a good day everyone Sent from my iPhone using VST

  18. Yeah I'm finding out I'm the same way with Water too, trying to walk more. Sent from my iPhone using VST
  19. Thanks everyone for suggesting Gas X, finally home & able to take them, my next question is , how long does the gas last? My surgery was 2 days ago Sent from my iPhone using VST
  20. Walking is what I've been doing, guess I need to walk more. Thanks everyone Sent from my iPhone using VST
  21. I'm still in the hospital & they won't give me meds for gas. This hurts & is so uncomfortable. Please tell me what to do in the meantime . I know once I get out I can take gas x. Sent from my iPhone using VST
  22. Thanks for the feedback. Yes , I'm still in the hospital getting meds for nausea doesn't seem to be helping. Trying to eat Jello & ice chips, which isn't easy to swallow. I'm walking around more & feel that is working with the gas. Thanks everyone , I know it will all be worth it Sent from my iPhone using VST
