Great to hear!!!! I bet you will be home before you know it!

That is so good to hear!!! Glad we are helping you as much as everyone's input is helping us all! I can't wait to see our progress a year from now!!!!

@@Nancy1955 I got you added!! Before you know it you will be on the other side of this!

We do have a great group don't we!!!! I'm headed out side after I get off the computer, its suppose to rain tomorrow thru sun. so better get outside while I can!!! It sounds like you are on track for healing, good for you & the walking does help.

@@60&goin4it - From everything I've read (and I think we all can say we've read a lot!), that is very common! When you consider you probably put on 5 just with the extra fluids, etc. from surgery and have lost an additional 4.5, that sounds great! Your doctor is happy, too, so that is wonderful! Your positive outlook and big heart have inspired so many on these pages (myself included!) and this post is yet another example of how your support and feedback helps us all… we all have encountered (and will continue to) this same challenge and will remember your perseverance and positivity during these slow times… Thank you for sharing! Thank-You so much!! The support from so many of us has been great including you!!!!

@@pmanley Best of luck to you!!! Will be thinking about you!!!!

Glad your ok!!! Some people have a hard time with pain medication, I can't take certain kinds. Hopefully it will be better now that you are at home!

@@Gossamer We will be thinking about you!! See you soon!!!!

@ Glad you made It!!! Sending you hugs, I know its miserable to be so thirsty!!! Glad the pain is easing! Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

Well I went to the Doctor today & all is looking good!!!!! Except the scale!!! I was glad I hadn't gotten on the darn thing before today because it was probably in the plus zone!!! I have lost 4.5 lbs in 13 days post op! Better than I could ever do before but I have to admit I was hoping for a little more!! Oh well heck, the dr. seemed fine with it! I won't give up I won't give up I will keep on keeping on!!! He said I could walk farther than I had been (only 10 min. at a time through out the day) To try to walk 30min. at a time & fast enough to sweat!!! This should get my metabolism going!!!! I'm really feeling truly blessed! I'm doing well & still loosing some!!!

@ how funny!!!! Your going to do great tomorrow!!

Tomorrow's Surgery list is 21 Oct @SleevenChica & @drmeow & @tamywill & @EGN Sending prayers! We will be thinking about your big day tomorrow! Best of luck!

The sipping is hard!!! It seems like it takes up your whole day just waiting for the next sip! I can tell you I'm 12 days out still sipping & am looking forward to my Dr. appointment tomorrow to see if I can have some refried beans or just something besides my shakes!!! I should be on soft food!! I don't have a puree phase like some do after 1 week. I don't know what the difference is. I had the gastric bypass. Do you go into a puree phase? You could call the Dr. & see if he would allow something pureed to help make it to the next phase. Have you tried a little of sugar free jello? Or chicken broth? I have the Unjury chicken broth & its helped me make it this long having something savory to sip. Hoping for the best for you!!

@@Jenaenae84 Wow you are doing really well!!!! I haven't weighed yet (didn't want to get bummed out with the weight gain from surgery), going to the Dr. tomorrow for the 2 week check up & will get weighed then. I feel like I have lost a few lbs. but I'm sure its not as much as I would like! Will see! I'm a slow looser no matter what, I guess thats part of the reason I had this surgery! @@anewme2015 I'm sure you do feel lonely not feeling like you could tell everyone! I told everyone but I can tell you there is some people I wish I hadn't just because of there attitude, other's have been very supportive & usually have a story of someone they know who were very successful! That is why this forum is so great, we are here for you, going through this same journey. Some days are better than others! Hopefully the kids will understand Mommy has a belly ache! Best of luck to you when you get home!
