  1. Shall-what are you eating, drinking and how much exercise?
  2. That is only 5 days. You may still be carrying fluid and/or need to have a BM. Be patient.
  3. It is not common but I went home the same day and my surgery didn't start until 1. As long as you can pee, drink and walk you should be fine. As always if something needs further monitoring they can always keep you. Good luck!
  4. I went home the same day but this is not the norm.
  5. I put a snug tank top on after. I have an incision that would have been irritated with a sports bra.
  6. My doctor put me on liquids for breakfast and lunch and a small meal for dinner. You will be fine just go back to liquids.
  7. Get a fitbit. It measures steps and you can add your dance. I can't always get to the gym but I am working my way up to 10,000 steps per day.
  8. I liked them but they grew old quick. My husband (non-sleever) is still buying them after I quite drinking them. I am still a fan of muscle milk light.
  9. I like Sobe lifewaters. I buy them at Costco. And I like diet cranberry juice.
  10. Great ideas just need to talk the other half into them!
  11. I am taking biotin and b12. I am going to restart my coQ10. That helps my energy but it is only a gummy not chewable or liquid.
  12. I am just shy of my one month mark and I have lost 21lbs. I would say my diet is 95%. Hang in there, we can do it!
  13. Date night with my husband used to surround food and cocktails. Last night we went to the movies but we were talking about what to do after the movie. We couldn't figure out what to do that didn't surround food or cocktails so we went home. Any thoughts?
  14. Shall-I have been exhausted too. Doc says it will be a month until I get energy.
  15. Sounds like everyone is doing well! I am hanging in there. Still tired and needing more exercise. Shall-I wouldn't worry about it too much. My weight goes up and down every day but in total I am down 21lbs in almost 4 weeks. Just keep working the plan and get enough water and protein.
  16. I need a buddy and love my fitbit!
  17. I like Sobe lifewater. I get mine at Costco. No calories or artificial sweetener.
  18. A lot of great suggestions! How about a pet? I would be lost without my 3 dogs.
  19. No weird dreams here. I am getting about 600 calories.
  20. Calories 600 Protein 60-70 Water 60-70
