    Hope you can get up and do lots of walking soon. It helps with pain. You'll feel like you've done too many sit ups for awhile but every day will get better. Welcome to the losers bench!! Sending you prayers. ????????????

    Hi Nana. I'm doing well. Still losing sloooowly!! I'm only down 25lbs. I'm hoping to get a YMCA membership soon. I made cauliflower crust pizza tonight. Yummmm. I'm looking forward to the next support group. I have a post op support group tomorrow night. How are you? Heard anything from the team?

    Good morning Jeanie!! Welcome to the group!! :-) Good luck to you as you go through this journey. My best advice to you is to start forming habits now (no drinking after/with meals, small bites, slow down eating, exercise, etc), do lots of research but remember everyone's journey is different and keep in mind this is a tool. It takes a lot of discipline and hard work. Going in, I was scared due to all the scary stuff I'd read online. I haven't experienced any of that scary stuff (gas pain, surgery pain, nausea, dumping, vomiting, etc). It's great to know those things are possible, but don't get too wrapped up in fear because you may not experience those things. We're here for you. It's an exciting journey. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Wish I'd done it 10 years ago.

    How long is your preop liquid diet? I did a 1,200 calorie diet and only had to do two days of liquid diet right before surgery. Try to stay focused on your goals. Liquid diets aren't fun but it's important so surgery goes well. You can do this!! Remember, that liquid diet is only temporary and it's a step closer to your goals.

    Nana, you can get one from your dietician. I have a hard time remembering to journal. I've done some on myfitnesspal on my phone and I bought one too. Try to figure out what works best for you and start the habit now. I don't even write in the calories, Protein, etc. I'm just doing the food and amount I ate. And keeping track of Water too.
