  1. I am happy to hear you finally have your surgery date. Don't stress over any of it and just follow what your doc suggests. My surgery and recovery have gone extremely well. I did hit a stall for a week in my weight loss but am doing all according to plan and it will turn around. I pray all will go as well for you.

  3. My surgery was April 6 and I am going through the same thing. We just have to keep doing what we are supposed to do and eventually it will pass, but it sure is agravating!

  10. Everyone's bodies work at different rates. I did gain 5 pounds after surgery, but have lost ten pounds since home. Surgery was April 6
  11. I had my sleeve surgery on April 6 and have two weeks of lovenox to take. I take the shots in my thighs and have had no bruising..
  12. Great job on being up to 15 minutes. I wish I had a walking buddy. Maybe I can find one at our bariatric meetings. My hubby already walks over 11,000 steps at work each day, so he is not really wanting to walk more.
  13. Leslie Sansone is great. I am thinking at first her videos will be too much. I just need gentle walks until the incisions heal. Great recommendation though!
  14. I'm really doing incredibly well. I haven't felt much like walking much, but told myself I am getting up and going out in the morning. Not much of an outdoor walker. Maybe I will get better at it. To be honest, I have had rude people comment on my weight in public, which keeps me out of the public eye, but I live in a quiet condo area with little street traffic, so I hope to go early and not feel too self conscious. I will stick close to my condo anyway to start.
  15. Doing very well. First day adding protein shakes back in my diet. I did end up having a hiatal hernia repair done too. No clue I even had one.
  16. Thank you, I feel pretty good and love watching the scale right now lol
  17. I was told to bring my CPAP and the anesthesiologist said it was best I did and too use it even when just napping. I am home now and doing great.
  18. We are so close. We're you at UofM or St. Joe's? Did all go well? I spent one night in hospital and am doing great. I start protein shakes again tomorrow.

  24. Hey Tracy, I'm in Michigan and my surgery is tomorrow too. When is your surgery and what city are you in? I'm in Livonia

  26. So true. I like to come home to a clean house when I travel.
