Shrinking Don

closest thing i have done is a box of Yasso frozen Greek Yougurt pops not bad tasting and got protein in with it

Your doing great Jess your hard work is paying off nicely

i have not had a soda since june 2nd 2 1/2 months before surgery please don't do it carbonation is bad for us and soda is just empty calories and can hurt your pouch

My surgery was in wareham ma at tobey hospital my original name on here was Big Don when i was heavier then i changed to to Shrinking Don good luck with your surgery

excellent.... wish i could stay away from the scale it's my new addiction

If you have no complications 3 weeks should be a breeze driving school bus i went back and have to crank a canvas back manually and a few other physical thinks

i drive short distances for work usually 1hr tops each way then i have to get out of truck and do a few things to my trailer so i can dump the load so im constantly moving shifting steering cranking the canvas walking to back of trailer to ulock then relock it after load is dumped out and of course they recommend a lot of walking its not a easy journey but if you have a strong head yo can do this once you get thru the first few weeks it gets easier i would say the first month post-op is the toughest you will probably be on liquids and then move to mushy foods after 8 weeks move to solids

i had very little pain afterwards maybe a little discomfort i was up walking the day i had surgery everyone is different. Yes i did have a catheter but was not painful it comes out quick not to bad..As far as office work you should be fine i drive a tractor trailer and went back full duty at 3 weeks out and felt fine. Welcome to the board John there are a bunch of friendly people on here never be afraid to ask questions thats why we are here to support one another ...Don

Hi Larry welcome to the group glad you finally said hi to us ..Not sure if the would cancel or not where i went i don't think they would as far as being scared everyone is i think it is normal i am 2.5 months out and only got sick twice with something that didn't agree with my pouch. Try doing some protein shakes now as meal replacements maybe that will help lose some of the weight they want you to..my name is Don feel free to add me if you would like

You will do fine it's normal to be nervous

Had surgery 8-22 and I go once or twice a week
