R gran 1

I also had my surgury Oct.8 and I am doing great. I also noticed I think I am eating to big of portions. I go back Nov 9 and I am so afraid I have gained. I'm hoping to get my first fill. I have not went back to all my old habits but I feel my full feeling is taking more. I keep telling myself ONE DAY AT A TIME. That's how I got this way and that's how I will un-do-it!

Don't worry. The reason we all signed up for this was because we could not do it alone. We are learning and the Drs and their staff are teaching us. If we never had fall backs we wouldn't be where we are today. This is a year or two process plus a life long change. Lets sit back enjoy the ride and learn.

Yeah for Leah our thread starter. Welcome to all the new comers. Yesterday was two weeks since surgury and I really feel so much better. Physically and Mentally. I hope all my kids feel the same.

I guess my dr. is slower then your dr. or maybe he thinks this ol'gran is fragil. Started soft food yesterday for one week and then normal food. I really am not sick or had any trouble eating anything. Gosh I hoped it worked.

I just got on the scale yesterday at my post op two week visit. Two months weight lost 27lbs. Won't expect that all the time but any loss is better then I have had on my own. Put a BIG smile on kids the worst is behind you.

Good luck Lori. We are all GonnaBeFit! Leah and Alijacmom you are on my mind today. I'm willing you both to walk. Ahealthylife and Tannie Good luck to you both too. Trust me you all are going to be fine. Ten days after surgury for me. Tomorrow is my first pre-op visit. I'm on soft food, no pains and very little soreness. If a over weight granny whos kids are older then most of you can do it you can.

you go girl. walk but NO lifting, pulling or pushing.

HOW'S EVERYONE DOING AND WHERE IS EVERYONE? Hang in there kids. Just remember....No Pain, No Gain! I'll be praying for you all tomorrow. ONLY take care of yourself. Walk slow and often. SIP plenty of liquids and Sip them SLOW and constant! No lifting, pushing or pulling. Good luck. It's been 10 days for me and I am doing great. Next I will be saying chew, chew, chew and chew some more before swallowing. That's where I am now.

Somethings we need to check with a Dr.. For a few days my back hurt and I had a headache. Then blood in the urn. Called the Dr., ran test and I had a UTI. All better now. When in doubt call your Dr. that's why he gets the big bucks.

I too put my old wedding band on. It soooooo sparkles! My little gold band that I bought to replace it when it was to tight fell off and my husband found it in the yard. Hey, I think that was one of those what did you kids call it, no scale event?

You can do it. I was told I did better then alot of younger people and I was scared and thought I was to old. Age has nothing to do with it. Good luck.

To soon. Did your Dr. ok that? Two weeks no work I thought.

R gran 1 here. Doing real good. Best advice to future bandsters, WALK don't lift, push or pull but walk. Age has nothing to do with it. Determination! Good luck to all you kids that are coming in the next few days. You WILL be fine.

Hey kids, I'm back. Wasen't bad at all. I would say the hardest thing was all the prep for the surgury. Had it Friday and this is tuesday. I walk often but don't lift, push or pull. Little heavyness where they fixed the hernia but all and all doing great. I hope all my kids are doing as good as me.

Gosh kids we sure have been busy. Well, I added Rumiller, Cj60, msmariahd and va_viv to the well wisher list. Tomorrow I will be thinking of emeraldinthesky and then comes B-day for Gran and her kid bandsters(Lady bug on a mission and Jullian RN) Gosh Karenwinpa I hope that doesn't happen to often. I can't even imagine getting all prepared and then cancelled. I hope I bounce back like most of you kids have.
