@395Ron. ...well he started snoring again and the nurse took pity on him. She is coming back in half an hour to try again!!!
How are you feeling??

We are in Kevin's room now and everything went fine. He did have a hiatal hernia repair. He is snoring away and I am taking advantage of him not running his mouth for once...lol. Poor guy doesn't realize he only has one good hour left before the mean nurses come in to make him walk!!!!

We are big chili eaters in my home so I made a big batch of my home made chili like I always make it only using the lean ground beef & leaving out sausage. I had no trouble eating it & could eat 1/2 cup. Mine has a lot of ingredients but my family loves it so much so I tried it with no problems. My original recipe is in the October list of surgery's thread as Irishaggie asked for it.
So glad to see you back! We have missed you!!!!!! We had about 110 people ask to be put on our list! I have noticed, now that people are post surgery, we don't hear from them as much, which is understandable. Everyone is getting back to their busy lives & doing well!!! Everyone's progress has been at all different speeds, & we all have gotten down at times, but with this fantastic group the support has been wonderful!!! Its amazing how fast the body heals & I believe & will still be praying that your recovery will be quick! Thank-goodness you were in good shape to begin with!!!!! Before you know it you will be walking farther than ever!!! Me I seem to only be able to walk 30min. but today I'm going to go a little farther!!!! Good luck with the chili, it has helped me a lot!!!

@@395Ron I am so glad to hear that you are making daily progress. It sounds like you had a pretty good day yesterday. I can relate with the Water. I have so much trouble getting it in. Yesterday I did not even get 32 ounces. I just feel full and bloated all the time.
It is so nice to see your responses to the posts again. Have you had a chance to read back thru some of the older posts. We acquired quite the October group! And it is amazing that so many of us still actively keep this thread going! I find this group to be such a support and know I can come here and ask anything. It is amazing to me how perfect strangers in all areas of the United States and even the world can become such a part of your family.
I love that you had a pizza dream. Even your subconscious knew you could not have it and made you spit it out. When we are all eating regular food I will share a chicken crust pizza recipe that is bariatric friendly with you and the group. It is one of the first things I plan to make!
Well time to head to the hospital and walk my husband! Hopefully he comes home today as he is doing great. Our first night apart and I must admit I did not like it one little bit.
You and your wife are in my continued prayers and I know you are going to be walking circles around all of us in no time!!

We are in Kevin's room now and everything went fine. He did have a hiatal hernia repair. He is snoring away and I am taking advantage of him not running his mouth for once...lol. Poor guy doesn't realize he only has one good hour left before the mean nurses come in to make him walk!!!!

Yay! So awesome! Ron is right, you two on this journey together is such a wonderful thing

Not yet but starting Water aerobics this month.

Omg Ron thx to god your home back with us . Hey guys I had my gastric bypass October 23 down 16 lbs All together since the start 46lbs I am now under 300 lbs yay thx to God & my doctors ????????

It was a group session and we were all told that internal injuries could result of we exercise too early. Perhaps they're just being overly cautious. I'll wait the 6 weeks maybe and then introduce light aerobics. If I avoid twisting or doing abs I'll probably be okay.

I'm exercising now. I started a week post op. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

Well today is the day! I am about to take my husband to the hospital!!!! He has his surgery at 11am. I am so happy for him but I think i am way more nervous for him then I was for myself. My stomach has been in knots since I woke up. Can everyone please pray for a successful and complication free surgery. We have only been married 7 months and I just don't know what I would do if anything happened to him. I have complete faith in our surgeon but for some reason my nerves are getting the best of me!

@@395Ron I cannot even begin to imagine how tired you are. But you also need to realize how strong we all think you are. A person of less fortitude who have given up long ago and yet here you are getting better each day. That makes you a role model. Don't look behind, only ahead and ahead is only better things. I am so happy for that you are home again and on the healing road.a year from now you are going to look back on this and know that it was all worth it. I personally am so glad that you are back,as I stated before our little group is just not the same without you. So keep getting stronger because we expect to keep hearing from you on a regular basis!!!
On a whole new topic, my hubby Kevin goes in for his surgery Thursday and I wish you could see what a baby thus big,strong man has been about this liquid pre op diet!!!! I am almost positive I saw him looking at our weenie dog, Gidgett, and drooling. I'm just glad there was no mustard in the house!! Lol.

@@edie091371 you guys are going to be the dynamic duo. That is so awesome that no only will you each have support but your partner will truly understand where you are coming from. Everything will be just fine. It makes total sense that you are more nervous for him than you were for yourself. I look forward to hearing about all the healthy things you will be doing in the future.

Yay! Can't wait to say the same thing! Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk
