    Thinking of you Mindi! It was the best decision that I have ever made. 6 week follow up today and I am down 32 pounds and cleared for all exercises. It is worth it!!!

    tdia13 got a reaction from MSer07 in Nov '16 surgery support group!   
    Had my sleeve surgery on the 2nd. Now I am home, drinking my Water, following the breathing instructions and walking. Things went much better than I feared. The staff was fantastic and I am so grateful for the support from all of you.

    tdia13 got a reaction from mylastchance21 in Daily Sugar/Carb Intake   
    My nutritionist says to get at least 50 grams of carbs a day for proper brain function. That is in addition to the 60-90 grams of Protein and 64+ oz of Water. I had surgery one month ago and am down 27 pounds total, 19 since surgery.

    Welcome and congrats to everyone! Today is my one month surgery anniversary and It was well worth it.
    My family worried too. I think that this is natural because they love you so much. The more they learned and the closer I got to surgery, the more confident they felt. It is a rollercoaster.
    I started solid food yesterday. So far things are going okay but I am finding that my taste buds really did change. I am learning to eat all over again and now that there is solid food and wait times for drinking, it isn't easy to get all of my Water in. I am doing it, but barely.
    So glad to be doing this with you all!

    I was able to sleep in my bed no problem. I found that so we so tired after spending a night in the hospital that I passed out quickly. I have been comfortable and I even found sleeping on my side okay.

    I set a timer to remind me to take a sip of Water every two minutes. I also got up to walk often. Do what you can and don't be afraid to ask for anti nausea meds when you need them. I will be cheering for you!

    Everything is great! I haven't had any issues at all. Right now I am really craving real food instead of liquids. Other than that things are good

    Luckgrl, I am in Des Moines. I had Cahalan. I too use MyFitnessPal to keep track of my Water and food. I also bought a Fitbit. The Fitbit and MyFitnessPal talk to each other which is nice.

    I have fibro as well and I chose sleeve. I had surgery on the 2nd and I have had a week with only mild aches and pains. Life is so much more manageable right now. Fingers crossed that this continues! Good luck and keep us updated on your journey!

    I have Ben s vegetarian for years. I have even considered going vegan now that I have had my sleeve surgery. Remember that you can get Protein in other ways. Contact your nutritionist and get some ideas.

    I am scheduled for the 2nd. I can't believe it is really happening! I am excited and terrified at the same time. I have never had surgery before..
