    Sooo, went to a wedding last night and they had sugar free cake. I went for it. It was so good and I didn't have a bad reaction. Even today I feel great. I did proceed to dance for an hour so hopefully it will balance out. Keeping fingers crossed for the weekly weigh in this Wednesday. Is it just me, or did anyone else think cake would make them sick? hw-272, preop diet day 1-267, day of surgery- 255, 2 weeks op 245

    Went for the 2 week post op and was all proud that I lost 23lbs, 13 preop. Doctor squints at me and says- ugh you should have lost 20 lbs by now. Wow, and I thought I was doing ok. :(. He said well its alright but you better lose 25 by the end of October. Way to get motivated.

    Two weeks out today. Feeling pretty good. Returned to work part time today. Getting tired of the shake and love not shots but otherwise no gas or pain. I get my fluids in really well but I have to remind myself to eat. Just not too hungry these days. On the positive slide, I'm down 10 since surgery, so with the 13 pre-op I'm down a total of 23. Some folks noticed but most haven't seen me since May (I'm a teacher) so I don't think they remember. Also, i go for my two week followup tomorrow and hope i get cleared for soft foods! Hope everyone else is doing well!

    I also have factor V, and was sleeved on August 7. They gave me the option to take a 81mg Aspirin but I didn't. I have been taking lovenox injections twice a day since surgery. The main prevention of DVT is waking and not sitting or riding to long. Best of luck to you!

    Same here. I have been out quite a lot. I am ready for a small baked potatoe.

    I'm getting out today, gotta go get groceries. Luckily my sons babysitter is babysitting me today instead! She will do the driving and lifting. Looking forward to going to the grocery store ;) . Other than that, feeling ok, getting fluids in and planning the moment I can eat scrambled eggs with cheese.

    I'm a recovering academic lol! I used to conduct research on how to teach drug addicts better decisioning' date=' and would evaluate drug abuse treatment programs and ways to reduce needle sharing amongst HIV-drug users.

    Still evaluate programs now, but for large Fortune 500 companies mostly, and it's their marketing programs we're focusing on, not so much on their crazy, drug-using populations. :)[/quote']

    Nice- I'm making a break into student affairs.... HIV was also my area but not so much anymore :)

    This may be a dumb question' date=' but once you crush it, what do you do? Put it in a small container of Water and drink it? Am I the only person who is actually scared of drinking this horrible-tasting stuff? What a baby I am.[/quote']

    I just did it and it was an epic fail omg

    I'm August 20th...and I have just one question....Has anyone cheated a lil on there per op diet???? Well I have not really had any problems with hunger and today is day six' date=' but on Friday we were at a small get together at families house last night the get together was here both nights I was in charge of making a pound cake....and both nights I tried to avoid it and both nights it call out to me...Lol.... although I didn't eat a slice I did have a few bites..but other then that I have not had any problems...the diet has been well for me but because I backslid both nights I feel so guilty..... Well nine more days to go and no more get togethers....as long as I'm home I'm good...and forgot to mention that both nights its was a crap load of food and some alcohol and aside from my cake situation I think I did very good...but still beating myself up non the less[/quote']

    I cheated. I ate a fat free mozzarella stick twice. Told my doc too. He said I'm good because I still lost 13 before surgery. If you are gonna cheat, which I don't advise, I felt horrid after, have low fat Protein.< /p>
