  1. Going back to work tomorrow. Finally starting to feel like myself. It took longer than the 5 days that I thought. I am glad I had took the additional days off. I am down 25lbs. Now the real challenge begins. I feel good about the 25lbs but now I have to make sure I follow the program. Water, Protein and Walking. Everything seems possible when you feel well. Thanks to all your advice and support I made it through this part of the process. (Nov19th was my date).

  6. I today I only had 1 1/2 protein shakes. Don't really want anything else. I have an follow up appoint tomorrow. I will talk to the doctor. I am trying to remember this is only day 5.
  7. I am depressed because I don't feel well. I just want to feel good. I don't want to feel sick or have this feeling in my chest ever time I eat. I know it is only day 5 so I am trying to be patient with the process.
  8. Yes I have lost 17lbs during this process.
  9. I am 5 day post op and I am regretting the surgery. I am allowed pureed food but I am not really hungry, I aam able to get things down like eggs, chicken, even some chili but have to force myself to eat. A little depressed because I am not really enjoying food right now. Whenever I eat I feel like it just sits in my chest and I eat slow and it is pureed good and I even chew it good. I feel uncomfortable feeling in my chest most of the day. Will I always feel like this? I am drained most of the day and can not feel like my normal self. I thought I would be back to work this Monday but I have decided to stay out a few more days. I am just so depressed. I just want to feel like me.

  14. My husband loved your statement about stay off the scale, this phase is about healing not losing weight. You are so right and I agree with you. Thank you for that statement. It helps.
  15. Yes the lost of my dog has been hard. Anyone who has pets can understand they are a part of the family. She was 16 year old, the day I came home from surgery she started having seizures again. That night she had seizures from 10pm until 3am. My husband was up with her all night. By the next morning she was so out of it a d when we took her to the vet he recommended putting her down. Crying after the surgery was painful. The muscles that we use in our stomach to cry are very sore. Doing better today mentally and physically. I do feel my body getting stronger every day. My boss gave me the choice of coming back to work this Monday or the Monday after the holiday. I am going to go back the Monday after Thanksgiving. Really give myself the time to heal. I have given my JOB 25 years, I am going to take 3 extra days. ???? Go Lisa... If you knew me that is big for me because I always put my job first. People at my job are so confused because they've never seen me out, they are starting to whisper amongst themselves where is Lisa and what is going on LOL. Only 2 people at work know about my surgery. I don't want to share yet, if at all.
  16. So far I am doing ok. Had to put my dog down today so that has been stressful. My CoCo was my little girl (toy puddle)???? Did a lot today dealing with that situation. Walking around really good, 350 steps already today. I did gain 3lbs, is that normal after surgery. Is the lap ban 3lbs? I had 1/2 egg today and had 1/2 of protein drink so far.

  20. Surgery went well yesterday. The night was hard. They have you up every two hours to walk, for real. Was nauseous and dizzy from the pain medication. So I stopped taking it. Being nauseous and dizzy was worse than the pain. Going for a upper G.I test in a few and be able to go home by 1pm today. Glad that part is over
