Never. I know that's not what you want to hear but it's the truth.

Anyone else have a lot of life changes after the surgery? I just was offered a position today at my daughter's school. I am going to be working with kids with special needs in the High School. This is what I've wanted to do ever since my youngest was diagnosed with a chromosomal disorder. I start after spring break and am very excited. I am also going on an all inclusive vacation in June. Once schools out of course. Lol Tomorrow is my birthday and with any luck knock on wood I will be in onederland tomorrow. I am right on the edge right now. That would be the best birthday present I could ask for!! So many changes happening and all very positive changes. I am a very happy lady!!

I love spring and summer! We still have snow and a muddy mess since it's starting to melt. But I definitely get our more lots of trips to the dog park and walking the trails with our pup. I also do a lot more walking so much nicer when it's not on the treadmill. Come summer we set up our pool and the trampoline goes up. I've been looking up exercise routines for the tramp.

I have not puked once. I had the sleeve

Dr Luther is great. My surgery went very well. I had minimal pain after and recovered quick!

I love Ted talks!

Yes! I used my ninja all the the time when I was on the Pureed stage. I have the big ninja system with all the attachments.

Yes! I am constantly cold@ Doesn't help that I live in frigid Minnesota. I am dreaming of a tropical spring break! I used to be hot all the time. I actually prefer the cold!

So just wondering how often you drink protein shakes? How many a day? How far out are you? Do you use them as meal replacements or just to supplement? I drink between 1 and 2 a day. I've been trying to get more protein from food so I can cut out the second but it's rough.

I have heard great things about your Dr.! Are you having sleeve or bypass? We were just in Hudson last weekend :-)

I have gotten really good at this water game! Yep I treat it as a game or challenge and it literally starts the minute I wake up! I drink at the least 84 ozs a day. I bring my water bottle with me everywhere I go. If its not in my hand its in my purse. I actually now kind have a mini freak out if I don't have it! I also track my water alongside my food in an app on my phone.

I am planning on at the very least a tummy tuck. But it is not just because of losing weight. I had a stomach surgery that went wrong 8 years ago. The Drs left my stomach crooked. I want this fixed more than anything. It was one of the reasons I had the sleeve. I needed to lose weight before they'd fix my tummy.

Yes I had my surgery at Park Nicollet and had all my appts at Meadowbrook. I had Dr. Luther. I had a great experience. I'm about ten minutes from Woodbury.

I waited 1 week. But I felt good at that point. Just depends how you are feeling.

Last time when I forgot my card my spouse talked to them for me which was super sweet. But ask the surgeon about the card. All the restaraunts know about it here.

It's funny because now I order off the kids menu and eat slower than my friends/spouse. And I still have left overs from the kids menu. Most restaraunts will substitute there potato/fries for a veggie or fruit which is nice.

Yes! Lol Although I tend to tip more when they are cooperative.

Sure it just looks like a business card on one side and them the other side explains about having bariatric surgery.

I've been doing really good since surgery. Had the sleeve on 2/9 and so far I've lost 29lbs including what I lost on preop. Today I must have done to much. Having pretty bad pain on my side just praying it's not another kidney stone or kidney infection!

I have the card. My surgeon gave it to me. Most places I tell them I had bariatric surgery and they are very nice and let me order off the kids menu. Other places ask for the card and then are very nice about working with me. I really enjoy eating out with my spouse. We went to a Mongolian bbq and they don't let you take anything home but with my card they let me take my meal home.

I am 5'2 with my shoes on! I just had surgery though on 2/9. My goal weight is just something I picked which is 140. My surgeon and his team don't have a set goal weight besides the one I told them.

I'm in St. Paul also. I had the sleeve done on 2/9

I am curious about the taste also. And how many carbs are in a bar?

It's definitely possible. I'd go get checked right away. I do know the day of surgery they take your blood and can tell if you have an infection. Then most likely it would be canceled. I got I kidney infection about 12 days before surgery was scheduled and they canceled that date.

I thought I was reading it wrong. I had a mini heart attack. Lol
