I'm bummed! I'm in Maine and they have no locations in Maine!

Wonderful Vamp! You inspire us all. Thanks for being so open and sharing .

You are not whining Mami you are venting.."totally different :-) I know you don't want to talk to him but seriously my husband is always asking me to please tell him how I feel about things because he said he seriously cannot tell by my actions etc. he admits to being clueless although I really do think he tries but some husbands just need it said loud and clear so there is no gray area.

Wow can't believe you are able to eat real food already! My doc says at least eight weeks! And I'm already behind by a week til my next stage .

There are machines at the gym to help with your neck....just ask the gym trainer which ones

Your doing great Vamp! The workouts are paying off!

Yes I added you :-) Diane-Marie Seekins Colby

Lost 7 # in First 12 days

My Fitness Pal ...it is an app ...my doc said that everyone loses differently ....do you go to support groups? That is the best way to get info !

The steri strips that the doc put over my incisions!

now I only have 7 more to go !

I stated using a baby spoon! My friend saw I was using one and brought me over an adorable tea spoon which is great! Helps taking the small bites.

Yea I get that too. The nurse said MFP is great except for the daily calorie intake ....it is not correct for us RNY 's...can't change it though ...

The nurse told me if you do nit have a bm within 4 days then take miralax

Thank you Dawnielle

Try setting your bowl in a larger bowl with boiling hot water in it ?

Vamp maybe your husband could go to one of the support groups with you? I'm sure there are other spouses that may feel the same way and going through the same things as couples that you are. My husband has went to all the appts with me and now is going to have the surgery also but we have been through lots of therapy over the years....we divorced young, separated for ten years then remarried each other and now it is better then ever...we both realized that being together was what we wanted for ourselves and our boys and we have worked hard together to keep communication open. It is not easy and needs to be a two way street for it to work. Best of luck to you !

It is very common to gain weight in the first week after surgery due to swelling, air etc so don't get discouraged !

Great job!

My program says 60 tp 70 grams protein a day ....I am on day 12 and getting about 50 and it's a struggle ...better now that I found isopure !

I can have all the liquids broth, jello, etc all day and count it as liquids. Also can " eat" every 3 to 4 hours one to two tbsps of Pauline Greek yogurt, cream of wheat with skim milk, low fat cottage cheese blended, black beans or refried ff beans blended. I drink one bottle of isopure daily as it has 40 grams protein ...not a fan of the protein shakes soothe isopure is a lifesaver! Also there is nit much protein in a tbsp of anything and I only eat the cream of wheat and cottage cheese and only able to eat a tbsp if that...then I cannot drink anything for an hour after I eat.
