  1. You are beautiful .. Keep up the great work!
  2. Great job ... You look amazing!
  3. Yep... Taking 50,000 units once a week x 8 weeks plus 6,000 per day.
  4. Wonderful... May your journey be without complications!
  5. Very common... My doc always brings that up and I always request a specific anesthesiologist who is a redhead herself whenever I have surgery. ( we have a tendency to bleed more too)
  6. I took 2.5 weeks . I could of taken longer but I was bored. I needed to get back to my routine and felt well enough.
  7. O need some friends too ... Babs963
  8. What a great idea! I love specialty stores like Pier One and we have lots of cute shops downtown. I just bought myself a fun pill bottle container from Vera Bradley instead of the "Altoid" box I was carring around... haha
  9. We all are eating healthy in our household but my husband and kids still like to have some snack choices that aren't "carrots and hummus or a nice apple". I keep a snack cupboard with choices for them. Torrtilla chips and salsa, fat free triskets or wheat thins, cheese its and granolla bars. I make them High protien peanut butter bannana bread and there are so many "healthy cookie recipes on Pintrest... Yogurt Blueberry drop cookes and Oatmeal Applesauce cookies... I make them - they eat them since I am just one month out. Good luck! Oh and if my family is having a nice snack I make myself a cup of International Cafe - Swiss Mocha - Sugar Free Decaf.. Yum
  10. Make sure you eat breakfast in the morning which includes some sort of protein -- Greek yogurt, weight smart oatmeal, scrambled eggs... If you have a smart phone try using My Fittness Pal to track your progress. and keep you honest. Cut out all soda and alcohol ... its evil!
  11. Yes!!! Dr. O'malley! I'm four weeks out this Tuesday. Mine has been wonderful as well! No problems. I'm still on puréed and am looking forward to the next diet menu. How wonderful for you to be at 3 months. I'm loving the exercise I just feel malnourished on the puréed plan lol..
  12. Nice! Your my first neighbor on this forum! No my husband makes wine at home... We buy local juices and some from California as well as international. It's a fun hobby that his be doing for about 6 years. I like drinking it! Did you have your surgery at Highland?
  13. International coffee has a sugar free decaf which is only 35 calories... It nice once in a while. Swiss mocha or French vanilla
  14. I'm from upstate ny as we'll... Rochester! My husband makes wine too and just bottled a barbera... I look forward to drinking a glass in about a year... I miss it
  15. While I didn't have it at the same time I did have my gallbladder out a few years ago... Recovery was about two weeks. I do experience both now... No biggy though its not like when your ill with cramping... At least not for me
  16. I'd like a penpal... Bconnor@jfsrochester.org Thank you!!!!
  17. I use Unjury. You can get sample packs of the different flavors to see if you like it. It's available online and some hospital pharmacies carry it. 20 gms of protein ... Good luck. (Don't over buy ... Your taste changes after surgery sometimes)
  18. Awesome... You should be so proud of yourself!
