How are you feeling today? I was thinking about you, I hope you are better today.

Thanks for your input...I need to get my parents to use e-cigarettes.

Thanks for your opinion...

Ok, I've got to be honest here, I won't know if I don't ask. I use to smoke marajuana before surgery, I quit weeks before surgery and have not had it ever since. I just started smoking it about two years ago because of my gout and it gave me great relief, more than my meds. My question is, I will be 4 weeks out comes this Monday and I want to inhale so bad, but I'm scared it may do something to my recovery, but on the other hand because I've used it for healing in the past I want it. What are your honest opinion? If you are a smoker have you started back smoking again?

Oh wow, I feel so bad for you, I hope things work out for you shortly, I pray that your pain ease up'...

We've been married for 1 year, June 29th..since this post he's been trying to come into my good grace but I'm not buying it, I think he's bipolar.

You all are doing well with the walking, in 3 weeks out, I don't walk much, however, I am constantly found up and down stairs, that's my exercise.

Mines was laparoscopic, but my incision site has staples.

Im 3 weeks out and my staples were removed at two weeks, I still have a lil soreness at the drainage spot, I still wear a bandage, until it closes completely, right now it's about an inch deep.

Im a slow loser and I weigh myself everyday, I'm not obsessed with it because I understand this weight loss procedure/process, my counselor said we should weigh ourselves everyday because down the line it will become easy to pick up weight, because you stop being concerned, you begin to think, oh it's ok, and next thing you know when you weigh yourself, you've picked up 10lbs....

Today is my first day of soft foods, so, this morning I had 1 scrambled egg with cheese, soooo good, for lunch I had left over baked catfish my husband made me yesterday, soooo good, I don't know what I will have for dinner, so far so good I'm able to eat at least 3 oz of meat, which allows me to get my proteins in, I thank God for allowing my new pouch to tolerate the nutrients I need to sustain. I did however, need to chew, take it slow, I didn't like the stuck feeling. Now I must get water, water, water in.

Congrats on the boob job, I told my husband we need to start saving now, for whatever I may need. Question, because you started at 211, how much did you lose? I started at 230, 5'3, my goal is to get to 135-140..

Yesterday morning I was so fatigued, by noon I was full of energy, I don't know what's that about...Well today I'm 3 weeks post op and I can move on to Stage 3, soft foods, two weeks of this, then I go to Stage 4, soft to regular foods, this day I've lost 27 lbs. Yayyyy, can't wait to have scrambled egg and baked catfish.

Yes, I live Muscle Milk, I haven't tried that flavor, I like vanilla and I like strawberry creme.

Hi all, I am soooo fatigued today, I can barely move today I can't seem to get out of bed and when I do its taking all my energy, I will be 3 weeks post op come tomorrow, have any of you felt this way and if so what did you do for it. Im going to call someone from my team tomorrow to see what I can do about the tiredness. This is the first time I'm feeling this way. I will be moving on to soft foods come this Tuesday.

That's what's up, I'm happy for you.

I second that, that's why I took 8 weeks off work, I knew I would have to get into a routine, but I didn't know it was going to be like a full time job, it takes me a good 3 hours just to take my vitamins in the morning, then Im trying to start eating for the day..Im not complaining, I'm just saying, lol...at least I tell myself it won't be like this always.
