  1. Hey girl congratulations on having the surgery. How are you feeling now? I'm feeling pretty good, I have to say, and very excited :D. Yes, let's stay connected, what's your diet like now, are you still on liquids?

     

    Nice to hear from you!

  2. Well right now, 10 days post surgery, I'm still on liquids. I saw the nutritionist and surgeon today and have been told that I can graduate to mushies. I'm not quite ready, though, and will probably begin sometime next week. I have really been enjoying watching the weight just melt off, lol.

     

    For right now, my diet is:

     

    Wake up, protein drink and one multi-vitamin

    Mid morning, meal replacement/protein shake

     

    Lunch, tomato soup (about a cup)

     

    Evening, protein drink

     

    Dinner, soup

     

    And plenty of water throughout the day...Hope this helps.

  3. lol gurl, I hear you about being hungry. I ran home tonight and had some tomato soup, I was STARVING, lol...

     

    I posted some pics of my scars. I know we won't have the same surgeon, but 9 days later, I'm surprised at how quickly they're fading. Hope they give you some encouragement.

     

    Hope you get some rest tonight, girl! Let me know how it goes :D.

    Surgery Date- March 30th (& follow up incision/scar pics

    Just a few pics of me at the hospital and my incisions...I'll keep it updated...
  5. Girl I just read this message again. Thanks so much for your words of encouragement. Congratulations on all your weight loss and your accomplishments, you continue to encourage me!

  6. Hey girl, are you nervous! Tomorrow's the date :)! I'm excited for you! Keep in touch. OH, and ask your doctor about the Gas-X, TRUST me, you'll be glad you did after a while, when it starts to go down.

     

    Good luck, girl

  7. Hey lady, thank you so much, I'm doing pretty well. How are you?

  8. Hi Gurl, I'm doing well, thank you! Congratulations on reaching that goal! That's so amazing. How are you doing with your diet.

  9. Girl, I was thinking the same thinkin when I saw your pics, we have the same shape! I live in Boston, you?

  10. *dancin* Heyyy, It's my Band Birthday, Heyyy, lol....

     

    How you doin, girl? Thanks so much. Ooooooh that gas pain was no joke, I wasn't prepared for that. But it is true, it got better every day, so yay!

     

    How are you doing?

  11. Girl, it will work out. I promise! And I can only say that because once we've made this decision and made a pledge to ourselves and our higher power that we intend to do better by our bodies, I feel like God/The Universe opens up to help us do just that. I'll be crossing my fingers for you, girl. And when you get closer to the date, I'll tell you some stuff that I wish I had known post surgery. Stuff like:

     

    1. No matter what, the gas pain REALLY hurts. Ask your doctor if you can bring Gas-X chewables with you for immediately after surgery.

     

    2. You will be completely down and out for at least a week, no getting around it.

     

    3. Even water can be too much if you drink it too fast.

     

    And other things I can remember.

     

    Wishing you luck, girl! You're already fierce, the band will just enhance it :).

     

    Be well,
