I HATE the word fail....refuse to use it to describe anything I or my son have done....we may not have done as well as we wanted, we may not have reached our goals, but to me the word fail means to be defeated and given up....that is not the appropriate term to describe anything in my life!

Fuzzy navel is my favorite, followed by double stuffed cookie and roadside lemonade. The cookie one I mix with 1/2 milk 1/2 Water or add the mix straight to pudding or Greek yogurt, mixed with mild and blenderize with ice cubes it is much like Cookies n cream ice cream. I have fuzzy navel almost daily at work, pour over crushed ice and sip all day. I did NOT like the lemon tea....the color and texture just totally grossed me out, I couldn't finish the bottle :/. Roadside eom add I add crystal light lemonade and extra water, helps mask the proteiny taste a bit. Good luck, hope you like em!! Been a lifesaver for me!!!!

I also took nasal saline spray, well no, I had my mom buy it on day 2...with the oxygen blowing my nose was SOOO dry..... That, Chapstick, and my own pillow....those were my biggies! Well and clean panties an socks since I ended up being there 4 days! A shower and clean drawers was the bomb!!!

I took 1/3 of a dose last night after being stupid all day yesterday. Prior to that I hadn't had any in 6 or 7 days...I think I took 3 1/2 doses after I got home....Tylenol and a heating pad have been my friend!!!

I am 12 days post-op and sitting here eating a bowl right now! It's specifically on my mushy list! They do say not to use instant but I this is the third or fourth time I've had it without issue....only eating about 1/4 cup though, I'm still early in this!

I refuse REFUSE to eat baby food....god gave me teeth for a reason!!! I'm just squishing up or blending stuff or eating naturally squishy stuff. To have a real bite of real food would be awesome!!!! Only 20 more days til I get to add ground stuff and toast!!! I would kill for peanut butter toast!!!!

Love this idea...something you can actually put your hands on and watch add up. Great idea!!!

I mourned for 2weeks and gained 25 pounds in the 6 months between....still working to get that off! But I needed to do this for me! (Plus the holidays were a blast got to eat all the yummy terrible stuff one last time!!!). Honestly though, I felt SO much better just having that stupid band out of me....after I got over my 2 weeks of mourning I felt the bet I had in 3 years and just decided to enjoy myself til my 6 months was up....couldn't change what had happened so might as well moveon!

Note to self: you are 11 days post-op from a major surgery you idiot....slow the heck down. I worked 5 hours today and felt AWESOME after, it was great! Then came home and spent 4 hours standing in the kitchen baking for tomorrow's Cub Scout banquet....I am so paying for it now! Took the first dose of pain meds I've taken since last Saturday and hiding under the heating pad...oops HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 235.8

My doc had told me before hand there was a small chance he wouldn't be able to do the conversion but really expected it to be fine....I cannot tell you how broken hearted I was when I woke up and mom told me he'd had to delay the RNY....hopeless, I felt so hopeless. However, here I am 11 days post op from the RNY finally!!! I can't help but occasionally think where I'd be now if I was 6 months post-op....but he said with all the inflammation I had, he would have had to have made my pouches Bigger to get a safe staple line....I do not need a bigger pouch thank you very much!!!! so likely you'll all be fine and able to do it all in 1 surgery, but even if you can't, it's still worth it!!!
