And the funny part is we did this to our selfs Hope your felling better soon

Only in America does Illegal mean you get all the free stuff American citizens can't

Great news keep it up

Everybody does their own thing if what you are doing makes you happy that's all that matters. Don't worry about what others say or think. I only impress my wife and kids I don't care what others think of me ( life is not a contest) Becuse when your dead having 500 people at your funeral not going to help you out any besides you will never know. I don't hate your company you work for I don't know them. What I hate is Grocery warehouses and the Union attitude I did the o/o thing I worked more then. I'm happy being a company driver making 70 grand a year I fell into this job by accident and won't quit till retirement 7 years 347 days away. just be happy and health that's all that matters

Not starting any thing ( I don't vote for Presedent) your vote is wasted. Vote for Your local and state reps are the ones that screw up your life. And I Belive that if you don't have proof that you are a American citizen you should not be allowed to vote. For example we can't go to Mexico and vote or England, Spain why should it be allowed here. (answer = so Politician can keep their gravy jobs) just my opinion

Hope your felling better soon

I use carnation instant breakfast ( no sugar added) and ESA whey powder with skim milk (chocolate ) there is one called unjury.com they have some really good stuff.Isopure is not bad Everyone's taste is different Good luck finding one you like there is so many to chose from

Thanks

Would love to get out and get some exersice just as soon as my Doctor say I can already got gym membership. Can't wait to get back to weight training it's been a long time and I miss the head rush I got from lifting weight. Breaking my leg in 7 places getting hit by a car has slowed me down over the year. I'm getting ready no excuses this time my leg is fine and has been for a long time. Always wondered if I could do a 5k I just may find out

Please send that to me to please merlinnumber1@gmail.com thanks

Sip sip sip then walk walk walk that's what works for me. Surgery was 7/30/12 16 days later I can take a bigger sip of water but to much sits heavy. And the gas does subside a lot Welcome to the other side hope all is well and you heal fast

80 lbs in 5 months good for you keep it up. If you have any questions just ask there is a lot of knowable people on this Fourm that can help you out and even more for support when time are hard. I'm 16 days post op surgery was 7/30/12 and need to lose 85 more lbs to reach goal weight of 165 can't wait hope I can be down that much in 6 months

Has anyone experienced any dizzyness or light headed my doctor says it may be from dehydration. I think I'm getting enough protein in (I think). I haven't seen a post about this yet (I think) I'm a man it could be right in front of me and I would miss it. Maybe I should ask my wife (lol) And one more thing does anyone get achy at night kind of like your arms and legs are tired

I'm 16 days post op and still get gas not as much as the first few days after surgery depends on how much I drink and how fast

Some Doctors will only let you have liquids so as to let your new pouch heal. Some Doctors just go to purée after surgery depends on your Doctor.

Punk rock mama been on purée for 3 days and haven't eaten enough food to feed a bird.1-2 oz at a time. Maybe Becuse I don't want to dump and I get full fast. My wife made beef soup it was the best I ever had,so was the 1/4 cup of cottage cheese.cant wait to try chicken and veggies. Don't rush it I'm 16 days post op and feeling good just wish my wife and Doctor would let me do more,in time they will. First i need to heal Good luck to you

Sorry to hear who you work for Lady K. Hope you dont have to finger print much freight it is good exersice. But you have to deal with Union grocery wharehoues employes again sorry did that don't ever want to do that again would rather go though RNY again. After 35 years in a big truck I'm ready to give it up but I got a great paying some what local driving job working for a non union over night company the money is to good to give up. And I'm 7 years 348 days 12 hours way from retirement give me a min and I can get that down to the seconds for you If you like who you work for thats all that matters The only advise I can give is ( You can always change the company you work for but the crap still taste the same no matter where you go) Be happy and keep lossing the weight

Got some to try at GNC nastiest stuff you would ever want to drink out side of magnesium citrate

Chicken went down all right but sat heavy

One more thing to put on my list of foods to try just as soon as I'm on real food looks good

That's on my list to try just not a fan of food right now. I was excited to be on purée but I have lost the taste for food I hope it comes back to a point

Just started on purée food and after 2-3 teaspoons I'm full trying not to push myself dumping does not sound like fun. It's just so different then the old day. And can't say I miss them

The day I went in to the hospital I weighed in at 268 lbs when I left the hospital I weighed 284 lbs. 16 lbs was just from fluids they gave me in the hospital. That was gone after 3-5 days the other 18 lbs has taken 2 weeks.

Good for you keep up the great work
