peg from Minnesota

Good Luck wish it was me I keep hoping that when I am done losing everything well tighten up???? I know better but can wish I doubt that as I am retired I will be able to afford . But I well have to get there first 8 weeks out 45 lbs. off I continue to work at it daily.I am happy to have had the surgery I don't let anyone put it down because my health has improved alot.

I know you are scared I was also and every other person having surgery but believe me , it was good that I went thru with it. I never had a bad time 9 weeks out only sometimes we know we are full but the old habit sets in and I finish my plate of food and bad choice you feel really awful. I never got sick to my stomach but felt pretty miserable. I see nothing for you to worry about if you trust your doctor.

Hi I am on day 6 also date of surgery July 13 so glad we are almost 1/2 way done I want something to chew?? I have lost 15 pounds hope more comes off this week?? I try to stay busy but..............I go to MPLS, Minnesota for my surgery. 1 nite is what they think I well have to stay.

I want to thank the gal that suggested putting protein drink in freezer it works tastes a whole lot better!! I am starting my third day only 11 more to go?

I know we are suppose to eat protein first I am on 3 day of liquids but the fitness pal says I need more calories, been around 600 should I eat more broth or puddings?

Going on three days now for the liquid diet fitness pal says I don't eat enough but its all they say to have I am calling nut today ask what to do??Hang in there and lets stay in touch.

Your lucky its 1 week most of us have to do it 2 weeks which when you are at day 1 seems like forever??

I am sorry, insurance is really hard to understand, hope they will help you because that is so stressful.

Yes Welcome this site is very informative they all have good info and positive attitudes. I have surgery on July 13 really excited to get to that day.

TeeNahh, Good Luck to you! I wish it was me, my surgery is july 13 and today I started the liquid diet I keep wanting something to chew on. Got any good advise 2 weeks I cannot believe I won't die before that much time passes.
