Tessie slim fast has more sugar then other Protein drinks but that is why it taste good. I must like liquid poo..... LOL.... Try the optima capacchino, which I love, love, did I say love.....also the milk chocolate isn't bad.:clap2: The optima has less sugar but there is another one out with even less sugar but I haven't tasted that one yet. Carrie I am right there with you but I put a few drops of beno in my can and it really helps.

A few years before surgery I had gallbadder attacks and 3 months later it was removed. My attacks were immidate. Right after I would eat a fatty food, I was in sever pain. I thought it was in my chest because it was hard to breath. With an ultrasound they found out it was the gallbladder. Good Luck

We walked, we walked.....yeahhhhh......Connie and I walked yesterday and it feels good to know that we did. :Banane33::Banane33:It was .7 miles around so we did about 1.4 miles. Next time 3 miles. Ice Skating next...............

Connie where is your water? LSasha, Stocky, Puddinpie, Connie you guys are doing an awesome job.....all I can say is WOW!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Marcelle that is great that you plan on attending the meetings that your surgeon sponsors.:gluck: I'm sure you will get a lot of great information, be sure to come back and share it with us. As far as the MD support group meetings, they are not always held in the same place. Krystalstar:high5:, our fearless leader, tries to move them around. So that we are not excluding anyone becuase of where they live. We had one at G&M in Linthicum, MD off of BW Pkwy. We were also trying to have one near Towson. How's the baby doing? No, hun, not your husband, the baby....:dance:

:clap2: Oh good, I'm glad you feel better. You are doing the thing with the walking, keep it up. It sounds like you need to take your Water bottle:cake: to the shower.....what do you think. You do not want to get sick in public, it is not pretty.. I got rid of my hubby years ago but I have some male friends your hubby can talk to if necessary. LOL:pound: Hopefully, you will attend the support group meetings and I will see you there. Everyone is really supportive and great.

Thank you peeps, I needed that.

I need a hug....here T:girl_hug: ....thank you T....Life sucks

Weigh in report....gained 2 pounds

Keep us posted. You deserve this, you have done an AMAZING JOB!!!!!

Oh Marcelle I am so sorry but I do understand, been there done that. Here is the speech I would get: :director:The purpose for doing liquids and mushies in the early weeks after surgery, is to allow your body to heal. It is not about oh well I can eat it so I will. You will get the maximum benefit from your surgery if you follow the rules. Liquids for the first 2 weeks, lots of Water, Protein filled mushies when you get there.:nono:So no more cheating. As far as your husband he is a man. LOL He is already scared :phanvan about what is going to happen with your body. Just give him a tic tac and a kiss :sleepand go for a walk. I've been in your girlfriends position. I just wasn't ready to have the surgery so maybe she is just not ready. You had this surgery for you, your health and your beautiful baby. Just think about all the energy you will have after dropping a few more pounds..... Incentive- take your measurements so when the scale does not say what you want it too the tape measure might. If you eat right now and walk you could be 30 to 50 pounds lighter by summer. You are doing a good job:clap2: Keep it up..

Yeah Carrie what's March 18.....

You go Barbara C:welldone2:....:clap2::banana:bananakeep it up!!!!!

:drama: Did someone ask for an ask kickin.....I got one for ya.....:moony: Wow Connie, you were really busy there.:confused: Alright Kee, wait until it gets warm if ya wanna......don't act like you don't have time.....I know you've been over there sleep for at least 2 hours a night.:notagree LSasha .....who are you foolin, cake and balloons at the gym:mad: Jill you are going to have to move to MD to show us how to do it.

LMBO DOC you poor thing:grouphug:.....why wasn't your slim green?:confused:

Hey Marcelle, how are you coming along?

Hi Nuria congratulations on your upcoming surgery date. Yeahhhhhh:clap2: I stayed for 3 weeks because I had that option but I hear of people going back a few days after surgery. I felt good at day 4 but you still have the pulling on the stomach getting up and down. Getting use a new diet, liquid at that, around other folks who may not know what is going on with your. The gas is something that you must release :guess or you will be in pain. It is amazing how gas can travel around in your body. You may feel fatigue :bored due to your new liquid diet and not being able to take in many nutrients. You may feel dehydrated from not being able to get in enough Water. Also, if you sleep on your back you will be fine but if you are a side or stomach sleep. Poor thing....get lots of pillows:notagree :faint: Pre op advice, get needed supplies ie, gas x, broth, liquid tylenol, Fiber choice, sf popsicles, beno etc. Follow your doctors advice and diet. Post op take it easy, walk, walk, walk, sip, sip, sip have a water bottle with you, everywhere you go. The hardest part, the emotions "What Have I Done" "Why haven't I lost 200 pounds yet" "Why won't the scale move" "I can't sleep on my side or my stomach, oy vey" With all that said. Good Luck
