I have Kathleen too, but I only attended the two meetings that were mandatory prior to surgery. I am really hoping to build a really good support group to help with keeping the weight off. It seems that everyone spends so much focusing on the weight loss. I really want this to be a lifelong success, my issue has always been with keeping it off, but then again I have had four kids over the past 15 years LOL. All done with that, have you tried the zumba classes yet they are so much fun and a great workout.

I have the same exact pain in my upper right side, everyone says it is because they go through muscle there. I have restriction I can eat about 3-4 oz and then if I don't stop I will feel the chest pain. I didn't know about the post op group on thursday but I would love to go, what time and where?

omg, that is tooo crazy. You were before me because I was at 10:00. I had to wait forever until I went upstairs, they didn't send me to the floor until about 10pm. How have you been doing, I love it. I get my first fill next week, I have restriction now so this will be really interesting. I live in Niskayuna, I have stopped weighing myself everyday I am only going to weigh once a month on the 4th. When I saw him last week he asked me why I wasn't eating eggs and cottage cheese? I was only 2.5 weeks out and the nutritionist told me not to? Please keep me updated this is so crazy.

Same thing happened to me, I asked my friend Brandy who had this surgery 1.5 years ago she gained 9 pounds in the hospital and then she said two weeks later it all melted away. I know it is from the IV's and the surgery, Brandy said as long as we stick to the plan we will be fine. I am having an issue with all the diet stuff I don't do well with sweetners they give me a headache. I can have carnation instant b-fast shakes with no added sugar. I also had broth and some skim milk. I just really dont want to eat which i guess is the whole point of all of this. I really do feel good tonight, when do you plan on starting to work out?

Hi, I am doing good I think very sore on my right side and of course the gas,,, but I am walking around alot just took a shower starting to feel somewhat normal. Trying to sip the fluids and do what I am supposed to. I haven't taken anything for pain since 3a so I must be feeling better. Was the surgery more or less than you expected?

Hey JeweI I am just wondering how you are doing I was discharged from the hospital today. I had alot more pain post op than I expected.. How about you, Hope everything went well if you want to talk here is my cell 518 421 2732 Tracie

Yes we are getting down to the wire now... I feel ready for this, I am all set on going to the gym 5 days a week!! Everyone that has been successful stresses the working out part.. I have a 15 yo 11 yo 4 yo and a almost 2 year old. So that part of my life is over no more babies... It is all about me for awhile, so ultimately I can continue to give everything I have to them... I live in upstate NY,. where are you? I love my surgeon he is very sweet and confident and it really helps he is a trauma surgeon as well. Please keep me posted, I have my email on my black berry so hope to keep blogging even while in the hospital. I have to stay overnight b/c my surgeon does a barium swallow in the morning to make sure he is happy with everything before sending me home. I only had to do one day of the liquid diet which is today.. I guess I am lucky. I love this whole website I really feel so much support from everyone. I would love to go through this with you so lets keep in touch
