  1. Each day will get better as it past just make sure you remember to drink water, and walk around as much as you can if its nothing but walking around your home between tv breaks. Good luck and congrats to you all for making the choice to be healthy.
  2. You look great keep up the great work and thanks for sharing which is inspiring .
  3. Welcome Donald your taste buds does changed after surgery LOL, things I use to love to eat before surgery I cant even stand the smell lol, have you tried other Protein drinks? I am drinking premiere protein without any problems as well as occasional Isopure thats already mix . Congrats on your choice to be healthy and I agree with your doctor as time progress you will have more energy, have you tried walking for at least 10 - 15 minutes per day try that may help with your energy as well. As far as Vitamins I am taking chewables by bariatric advantages cherry flavor and love them. Congrats again on your choice to be healthy and i am sure before you know it your blood pressure will be under control and you will be off those meds as well. By the way I love that fish you caught, pure protein LOL. Keep us posted my friend.
  4. Hi I had a private room and my husband had his own bed too and spent the night with me everyday I was in the hospital. They like for your support person to be there with you so they can assist you with walking . It was great. And the floor was just for patients who had the surgery and it was great. Good luck with your procedure.

  6. First I would like to say congrats on your choice to be healthy, you got this, everyday will be a new adventure for you the unknown can be scary but trust me when I say this the new you is so worth it, I had no fear of the surgery and was like you afraid of the what after, but i had the best sleep ever as well as while I was recovery i was not in that much pain and i was burning the wheels off of my iv pole as I walk around the room. The rewards are so worth it, I was taking off all of my diabetic medications upon my release from the hospital and my blood pressure medications, I was even taken off of my high cholesterol medication within two weeks. I have been off all meds within two weeks of having my surgery on May 19 and I have more energy and feel great. I will keep a spot on the losers bench . keep us posted my friend and its great that you have supportive friends.
