I have always wanted to try Zumba but I am too afraid that the very sight of it will cause animals and small children to seek immediate shelter. LOL

Does anyone know where I can purchase the Unjury powder other than their direct website? I have used up the sample pack that was given to me at the hospital so I desperately want more. Please help!

Thank you guys so much. I don't mind if I have to order it, but I just thought that I would see if anyone had noticed it in stores anywhere.

It has been difficult for me to get all of my fluids in too. I feel full sometimes after drinking my Water, so I try to "save room" for my protein. My husband and I went to Wal-Mart this evening and I was fine until the walk to our car. I started to get worn down and sore then but I'm fine now. Maybe we overdid it? You fell?! Are you okay?!

I live in Yadkinville. It is about 20 miles or so from Winston-Salem.

I too was told that the heaviest instruments are used on the left side and that they have to go through muscle on the left side as well. I am still very tender there, especially when getting up and down out of a chair or our bed. It burns more than anything else right now but I am sure that it will be better within a few more days. I am only four days post-op right now.

I had my surgery on January 29 at 7:30am and was home by 4:00pm on the 30th. Thankfully, I had no complications and everything went very smoothly. As someone said before though, it greatly depends on your surgeon and each person's individual situation. I live about 55 miles from my surgeon, so I was right at the cut off distance of being allowed to go home the next day. If you don't feel comfortable going home after one day then I suggest asking for another night if possible.

I have been wondering the same thing. I assume that the 30 minute rule does still apply since soup is technically a food and possibly more filling. I have still been implementing the rule, but I have been curious as well.

I too am having trouble getting anything down. I literally have to force myself to eat. It is such a strange feeling for me to feel full and satisfied after only three to four bites. I am now two days post-op and still a little sore and uncomfortable, but it's nothing unbearable. I still haven't pooped yet though. I can poot like nobody's business I just can't poop. Anyone else having or have had this problem?

Shoot, I wasn't finished. lol I don't remember much about being in recovery other than being in a lot of pain and groaning a lot. lol I was able to walk up and down the hall about five times last night once I got over being so groggy. It helps, trust me! I ate ice chips and nothing else until this morning. I was brought Popsicles, Jell-O, decaf coffee, and Crystal Light for Breakfast but all I could tolerate at the time was ice chips. For lunch I got down about two bites of creamy Soup and two little plastic cups of Carnation Instant Breakfast. I have absolutely no appetite whatsoever so I'm having to force myself to drink Water. I am looking forward to losing the gas pains and swelling. Good luck to everyone! We can do this!

Yay! I am now post-op and home. I was a lot sorer than I thought I would be because I was in recovery for a couple of hours. I don't remember much about

I love you guys! Thank you for the support.

My prayers are with you sweetie. Are you worried about the anesthesia? That is what worries me.

I am less than 24 hours away from my RNY and to be honest I don't know whether I'm scared or not. The biggest part of me is just ready to get the ball rolling and have that part over with. The other part of me is wondering what happens to my family if for some unknown reason that I don't make it out of surgery. Is anyone else or was anyone else worried about this as well? We all know that there is a risk, but I pray that the benefits far outweigh the risks for me. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am for my 7:30am surgery which means the hubby and I have to be on the road by 4:00am. Ugh! At least I will have more time to recover which means I will work my butt off to come home on Wednesday. My prayers are with you all, as always, but especially my fellow surgery buddies that will be going in tomorrow. I will try to keep you guys updated the best I can. ????

My prayers are with you. Good luck!

I am glad that you did well and are feeling better. Way to go.

This liquid diet is for the birds. I feel your pain. My surgery is on the 29th so I am on day 6 of my 10 day liquid diet. I am beginning to get really crabby and irritable. My poor husband has been great, bless his heart! Hang in there sweetie. We can do this!

OMG! Thank you for making me laugh. I had the same thoughts at work today.
