Be careful with the potatoes. You don't want to start training yourself that carbs are ok. Remember protein is the way to go.

Yes sounds like a great name. Do it. Let us know when it is up.

I can eat a whole egg. I have only had that too full feeling once. It kind of scares me. I'm not really ever hungry though.

I think that is good idea about fb.

We should all try and plan a day to get together. Wednesday and Thursdays are out for me.

Yes. I'm sure he is good as well.

I'm in. You are going to love Dr. Rothchild. He has been so great. What area is everyone in? I'm in Englewood.

I'm a week and a half out. Things are getting much better

I do think it gets better especially after the drain is removed.

How are my Denver friends? I am starting pureed foods today.

I have pain with the water. My surgeon said most people do and he is not sure why. Today is my first day with pureed food.

He was a great Dr. I have had both pains. All liquids. Never hungry. I was in the hospital 2 nights.

Surgery went well. I am home recuperating. The pain is not easy. I guess I didn't plan on that part of it. I loved my experience at University. All my nurses were great. I loved Dr. Rothchild as well.

I have my surgery time, I have hit my weight loss goal, and insurance approval has come through. Now lli have to do is wait 5 days. i think us Denver people should try to for our own support group. I know the hospital has one but it meets Wednesday nights and i am unable to do that night.

Do you have a weight loss goal? I loved cherry coke as well also coffee. I am doing well with that part though. I actually ate a bagel with peanut butter because I hadn't had any thing but pro town shakes in three days. I was surprised to surpass my goal this morning when I weighed.

I am also at University. I have Dr. Rothschild. I am doing it by choice. Wanted to make sure to get those last few pounds off. I had a weight loss goal I had to hit.

That's awesome. What hospital ? My surgery is 6 days away. I am super excited. I passed my weight loss goal this morning. My insurance went through on Monday. Now all I have to do is wait.

I try to think about something else. Keep busy.

You have to really work on it this month. I'm not sure what you goal was et at. I had a twenty pound weight loss goal. At preop yesterday I was still 3 pounds away.I am doing 2 protein shakes a day and a lean cuisine.It isn't the easiest thing in the world but it is working even when i have had tose days were i have gone over board on my eating because I think I am never gong to have this again. I also started my liquid diet and it has made it a lot esier.

My surgery is scheduled for June 30. Are there any other people in Denver having this surgery?

I am scheduled for June 30. I am very excited. I was hoping for last Christmas but had to wait. i also had to the 6 months nutrition appointments. In a way I am glad. It really did help me get a better understanding of what I will be going through. I have been able to do a lot of reserch. I feel as though I am better prepared. I know that there are things that will come up that I could not prepare myself for, but a least I tried.

My date is the 30th. I am on my liquid diet. I need to lose 3.4 lbs in order for my surgery to be performed. My insurance required a 20 lb. loss. I have struggled with it. I will do it. I have 12 days.

I really like the premier protein shakes also the isopure fruit drinks.
