Jersey Nurse

Im right over the bridge by 15 min we have support groups....

I was sleeved/hernia repair too> on 1/28/13 down 13lbs , spent the evening in the ER my surgeon met me there(he is wonderful) had lots of chest pressure and shoulder pain when drinking or eating, pain x 3 days now pain when not even eating>had CT Scan all looks good no leak or tear, he thinks just reflux(thank God) got some new RX to be filled.....praying for a better day tomorrow 1 week follow-up on Thursday......

I lost 12 the 2 weeks prior to surgery just doing liquid shakes, I lose 12 lbs first week, now entering 2nd week my Doc said expect 2 lbs a week from this point at least...+/- would be great if it were more......1 lady in my group lst 50lbs first month but she is bigger to start with....

I love them...Lean Shakes Berries and Cream is my Fav.. I used they pre -op and still post op...**** very tasty! Congrats on your weight loss....

Protein is the key ....eat more protein or drink the supplements......b12 also keep up your metabolism when you dont eat it puts your body into starvation mode then you hold to fat......2lbs a week is where you should be
