Thanks for posting the pictures. You look really good!!! Are you exercising yet or just eating like the nutritionist said?

Yes, my mom, my children and a few close friends and a church member that actually did the gastric bypass. Wow an 18 to a 14 in 2 months!!! That's great! You should post some pics.

Thank God! I'm glad you have a good support system. I'm so happy for you! How many sizes have you gone down? I can already feel me clothes loosening up - so I know I'm losing inches!!! Yay!!!

Happy Labor Day! Thank you! I can't wait to chew lol. I go for my 2-week post op appointment tomorrow. I'm excited about this new journey! Was your family supportive when you decided to do this?

Wow 30 pounds in 2 months is great!!! Keep up the great work! Thanks, I'll check out unjury.com today because I really want to make sure I get in my protein. Well after Wednesday I can start pureed foods so did you mix protein with your pureed food? Yes, I was so happy when I found out about sugar free popsicles. They've been my saving grace - Lol. Have you been to any support group meetings in Durham? If so, when & where are they held? I had my surgery done in Cary but I don't really want to drive there for meetings.

I responded to this earlier under Yahoo but I just see where it didn't deliver - Congratulations! I'm happy for you. How much have you lost so far? I had it on last Wednesday 8/21/2013 when I had my gall bladder removed. Can you give me some suggestions for some good liquid Protein? Or maybe a shake that you can't smell the protein? I did pretty good with the Protein shakes before surgery, but they are not good now. =0Sent from Yahoo! Mail

Thank God! So happy to know she's well. That anesthesia is no joke.

Congratulations!!! Keep us posted when you're feeling up to it.

Hi! Good to speak to someone near! How are you? Dr. Enochs from BSNC was my surgeon. Who was yours? Have you gone back for you 2 weeks post op yet? And if so, how much have you lost since the date of surgery? Have you gone to any of the support group meetings there or do you know of any in Durham?

Doing fine, thanks! Ready to be done with liquid phase, so I can chew something. Was excited to find out I could do sugar free popsicles lol.

Hi! Durham, NC here - I just had my sleeve done at Wake Med in Cary last Wednesday, August 21, 2013.

The next day. I remember them waking me briefly and saying my family was there and I went right back to sleep.

Hi! I had surgery last Wednesday and they removed my gallbladder and repaired a hernia that he found once he got in there and it was less than 2 hours. I remember the anesthesiologist coming in saying he was going to give me some medicine to help me relax & I was out. Slept most of the rest of the day away too.
