Are you a published author as well? Sorry but mine is a journey...and I am liking it.......if you are a prime member and have a Kindle, maybe you can borrow it for free, at least humor me and read the Amazon reviews.. or we can talk about my Blood Pressure

If it isn't a "Journey" then what is it? I f I can't post about myself and my concerns or progress then what am I supposed to post about. How about my published book on Amazon or B&N called "How Can I Keep From Singing". Search for it under Kittie Preas Koukalik. Buy it, read it, leave a review...oh wait...that is still about me....

So in sticking with my plan for the last three weeks, it was Friday morning and "weigh day". I was happy to see another 3 lb. loss to make 40 in 6 weeks. Then I took my measurements as I have done on weigh day and compared them with pre op measurements. I have lost 23 inches!!!
I felt so good about me, that after hiding my body from my husband for about a year or so, I walked from the bedroom to the clothes hamper in the utility room stark naked twice!!! He just smiled and asked me if this was a parade or an invite!!! LOL

I agree with Smily! Sillyolme, you should not be dispensing medical advice. You aren't a doctor or a bariatric nurse for the doctor of anyone on this forum and you shouldn't be confusing everyone. We all need to follow our own doctor's orders!

I disagree with you. I prefer to listen to MY DOCTOR who has a VERY stringent plan and I have followed it to a T. I don't really think you should be giving medical advice here

and to add, the first week I could not DRINK enough to stretch my pouch, I sipped and sipped.......just as my doctor told me to do.

I had my very first Protein Shake in the hospital, the day after surgery. I agree, each patient should follow their OWN doctor's orders. We chose them and they know us. :-)

Oh yes, but I have spinal stenosis which is a narrowing of the spine and it cuts off the blood supply. Not much a Chiro can do, I also have fibromyalgia which NSAIDS are about all that help.....But fortunately I only have occasional pain since I changed my diet. The stenosis is better since before syrgery, I dont know why but I won't complain!! I haven't had to use my cane in about 2 months!!

I don't think you can say that across the board. Each patient should follow their own doctors orders. Mine had me doing Protein Shakes as soon as I was released from the hospital on day 3

Well I don't do game shows and if we call it a "trip" instead of a "Journey" then we sound like druggies.

I don't LOVE the repetitive questions... But we were all there once.
Ok, make us a topic list. lol
Honestly, all my posts are about me because, well, I am my favorite subject.

Hello My fellow GB family,
I have a couple questions
Question 1
I will be 4 weeks post op on Wednesday and we are heading to Orlando for spring break for 5 days next weekend. We aren't going to any parks but we will be in a hotel room with no kitchen, so cooking is kind of out of the question. What are some WLS freindly restaurants that offer foods that are low carb/low fat/low sugar. I am in stage 2, which is soft foods that I can cut with a fork.
Question 2
I am constantly thirsty, and sipping just does not help. I've started sucking on ice chips. Does anyone else do this and is it ok?
Thanks family!!
