Talk about crossing the line.......Sounds like she needs to find a new Endocrinologist because the one she has seems to have a problem focusing on her scope of practice instead of being a bariatrition or an orthopaedist for that matter.............you're a grown up, you should not be made to feel you have to lie about you exercise in order to Not get scolded by your doctor, if anything she should try to help you find the help you need to find the right exercise regimine for your condition; the doctor I work for would never talk to his patients like that, let it be an immediate life and death situation, maybe so.......I say tell her bye..but thats just me????

Hi there! AA wife and mom to five. 5'3 and 259-260lbs. Previous surgeries, gallbladder removal and a tubal ligation. I was approved, yay! So excited, this is a bday gift to myself...a lifestyle CHANGE.
Looking forward to being able to run again!!! Go up and down stairs with no knee pain. And not crush the little girl holding my foot up when I get a pedicure! :-P

Sorry its sideways. Don't know how to rotate it. Tuesday will be 3 wks post op.

Yes, and sometimes they will give you a discount, my cousin did that....

When I went to Carowinds with my kids this year and could not ride the three rollercoasters my kids wanted me to ride with them the most because I was too big to fasten the safety harness. That will all change this year, watch out Intimidator and Night Hawk.......already renewed our seasons passes... :tongue2:

Well, I took my first trip to Whole Foods today.....I bought a few things for when i go on regular foods in a couple of weeks. So while I was there, my kids were going around getting samples from all of the little sample people, and we come to one table where they had different chesses and preserves to taste together, an before i knew it i had tried the goat cheese and strawberry-basil preserve......OMG, it was DELICIOUS, then i realized what i had donedde30. So the good thing is that i am on day five of pureed foods and smooth cheese is included in that, but i really thought it would have that "slider" effect but nope new tummy was fine even with the preserves.....I will definately be more careful for the next few weeks though, until i'm cleared for regular diet. But I LOVE Whole Foods...these are some things i bought to try when I can.......

Ok, so at 1 week post op, I am feeling great, I am still struggling to get my fluids in like i should but i pee twice a day and and i haven't had a fever or low blood pressure so i think im ok for now, but i am trying really hard. So today was the first day since surgery that I actually FELT up to doing something...so we took the kids to Carowinds, which gave me the opportunity to walk as much as possible, but i did get a wheel chair just in case, which i am glad i did because my abdomen did start to hurt after a while and i was exhausted. When we got back home, i did some pureed food for my diet next week; so here's what I did:
So from top to bottom: beef from the Atkins Beef Merlot meal, its not quite "pureed" but its already pretty soft and any strands left i will remove before eating
Broccoli from the same meal, i did add alittle bit of seasoned Water that i used to boil potatoes in to getit the right texture
Canned potatoes, i boiled them in their own water and just added an extra can of water and seasoned it with salt and tiny bit of pepper
then i pureed them with lowfat plain greek yogurt, and seasoned it with just a bit of salt and a tiny bit of garlic
Then here are some frozen carrots that i nuked in the microwave and seasoned with salt and pepper and added a little bit of water to smooth em out
I will freeze these and put them in freezer bags and thaw over night in the fridge.
