I am a stay home mom, so time off was not existent. I made it easier on myself by making and freezing meals for my hubby and daughter. My doctor wrote me a note for 3 weeks! I wish!! LOL

I am a stay home mom, so I went back to work 3 days after surgery. LOL

Dr. Torquati (associated with Duke Hospital) was awesome!! The staff in the office is friendly, helpful and courteous. The process was fast and very informative. I highly recommend Duke Metabolic Center.m

My surgery was 11 days ago and I am so glad that I did it. The process seems intimidating, but the end results are so worth it!!

Only you can decide if it is right for you. For me, I have a wonderful extended (in-law) family and they totally support me with my decision. I pray that my sister in laws family (hubby, his sister and niece) will make the decision to do it as well, but it is a personal choice that nobody should make you feel guilty for. Do your research, talk to a few doctors, go to a support group meeting. Only you know what's best for you.

You know, most are. I was thinking any of us who want can friend each other and keep up with each other.

I will have to check out the recipes then! I am getting bored with chocolate muscle milk!!

So that really bad pain in the breast-bone area is from having too much?? I could hardly get in 2 tsp of soup lat night before the pain was unbearable!! Anyone else have this issue???

My sleeve was 9/4 and I cannot wait to have some cottage cheese and some eggs!! And maybe soon enough.... shrimp and lobster tail!!

I cheated and had soupy mashed potatoes today. I feel really full....I meet with my nut next week, and can't wait!!

Angie!!, I'm not sure. I had read that other people lost more initially.... I realize the problem isn't the 15 lbs. it's comparing my weight loss to other people's. in retrospect, I am doing as well as I am supposed to do and need to not worry about how much other people loose initially.

I am 43 years young!

Congrats!! I feel the same way. I have to push myself to drink.

I like the pre made shakes. I am not a fan of powders. I actually like the Ensure vanilla too, high protein
