So this past Thursday I was really depressed. I had done VERY good on eating and had walked 1 hour or 3 miles each day starting on Monday. Yes, low and behold my Wii Fit says I GAINED .9 lbs! BOY on BOY what a slap in the face. So I was soo tired on Friday that I didn't walk. I stayed in the be most of Saturday and Sunday. When I did get up to eat I ate carb filled foods. Chicken tenders, Whopper on Sunday, Fish with cream sauce and Rice. I never pigged out, just ate until I wasn't full. So I force myself to get on the Wii Fit Sunday night and WOW oh WOW...down 1.3 lbs. WTH! So be it...I won't argue!

I acutally didn't tell my manager anything. All I said was I would be out for x days and I've completed my FMLA request. I was concerned that the fmla would be denied because it wasn't within the 30 day rule, but it wasn't. So yea, I didn't say anything. No one even knows I'm out having surgery.

I'm going DOWN!! I love the WII FIT! It's so great. Can't wait until I'm able to do the workouts again.

Congrats Mamma! Stay strong!

OMG...I'm only 8 days post op and the only thing that keeps me from thinking about going out and getting a burger are dannon Frusion yogurt smoothies. The hungry is bad when it starts. It's a feeling I try to avoid at all costs. Maybe it was just the timing today, but I mean what other options are there when one is in a time crunch? Since my band I have been eating, chicken & Beef broth, WonderSlim shakes, Isopur liquid and Power protien, and Dannon Frusion Smoothies. Initially I was draining the little fruit off the smoothies but today I was like screw it. I'm hungry! And the yoguart is the only thing that's keeping me full for over 1 hour. I mean, it really sucks to make a person who clearly had food issues be forced to think about eating every hour. Arrrrgggg...

Hope it's not too late to join in....I got 30 days...so....how about 16 lbs. Name___________Weight Now_____Goal_____lbs lost aJoneen............230.........220.......4.......

For me, the past few nights have been kinda weird. The first night I was like ok....whatever. But then it happended again last night. About 4ish or so in the morning, I wake up slightly, enough just to see the time and fall back asleep. Durning this sleep I dream ...or really have nightmares about eating solid food. I'm currently on the 2 weeks liquids phase. I'm eating fried chicken drumsticks and just can't seem to get full. The dream is sooo real, I acutally believe that I'm eating this. And then the pain...the pain is so bad...not sure how I sleep through it. But my tummy just hurts like crazy. Very sharp pains from the incision area and churning in my stomach. Crazy I say!

Cool Beans all! I've got the Mederma and the CVS scilicon strips and will be looking into the Kelo Cote. Not sure if it's all usable at the same time, but I'm soo don't want to have ulgy scars.

Hey Diva GIRL! In terms is quality of protien the #1 is Isopur. The power mix single serving has 50gm protien and little over 200 calories. They also now make a liquid drink that comes in a glass 20oz bottle. I think it's like 40gm protien. Now quality does not equal great taste. It's not horrible, but nothing to lust over. I only do the Isopure once a day.

So I've used WonderSlim back in Sept of 07 for 30 days straight. Complete liquid diet. I lost like 35 lbs or something, I can't completely recall. In any event, I've got some of the shakes left over and have been conserative about using them during my two week post-op liquids phase. Has anyone else used these shakes? Thanks for you input....

My dr.'s paper works says if it doesn't flow through a straw then it's not liquid. LOL. The only smoothies I've done are the yogurt ones as that's the only way I can eat yogurt at the moment. So I got the dammon yogurt smoothies. Only thing is that it has fruit particles in it. So I use a very fine strainer to remove the non liquid content. I also add about 2 oz of water to dilute it a bit so it's not as thick.

Oh noooooo! Hope things look up for you girlie! This is just a test of your will power! Stay strong!

So I have keloid skin. How has the scarring been with ya'll? I'm really scared that I will have nasty nasty scars from the surgery. I did tell my dr. and he was really good to me with the incisions. I have 4 incisions, 3 small ones and 1 about 1 inch in length. All look to be healing nicely now...but once the keloiding starts...oh boy. I'm so scared. I once had wound cuased my the head of a nail (hammer nail) goin into my upper arm. The wound was really nasty and turned purple and all. Before it even was totally healed it started to Keloid. Now the acutal wound was the size of the head of the nail, which is pretty small. But after getting seroid injections from the keloid, it's this HUGE ugly thing that's always noticed when visible. So here are what my scars look like right now...

Congrats Yettia! We are now band sisters. I'm only slightly older then you having my surgery on the 24th at 8:30 :teeth_smile:. Glad all is well with you. it's crazy knowing your procedure was out patient. I was hospitalized overnight. I was even thinking about requesting an additional day.
