I'm doing hip hop abs and I just finished my first week. I excercise Monday thru Saturday!

:faint:

This weeks plan also calls for exercising two times a day on certain days.

I'm taking this VERY SERIOUSLY. I simply cannot attain the goals I want for my body and health without exercise.

My incisions were glued. And healed up sooooo nicely. I tend to keloid, but the one I did, was very flat almost non noticeable.:mad:

Y'all all are very fortunate :welldoneclap: All I had for my pain was Liquid Tyleno LOL...see I can laugh about it now, but three weeks ago??? Ouchie!

I'm two weeks post op and don't regret a thing about my labpand. This is the best thing I could ever have done for myself. Can I get a bump!?

:clap2:

ooh the gas hurts

I'm six days post op and having trouble sleeping. I sleep on my back and I swear it feels heavy in my chest (in between the twins) Is this normal??

:help:

Looks like we may have a Texas/Boston romance brewing???

I'm happily married but I don't mind saying that I've seen stormbrewing at the hospital and I will agree with you Thickchick, he's cute.

Very Cute!!! Holla

My doctor instructed me to stay on Clear liquids from day one to day 7. From Day 7 only an addition of yogurt (plain).

I made soups:

1) chopped filet mignon, onion, red peppers, garlic, mushrooms and black pepper. Add low sodium beef broth. Then add chopped broccoli. Simmer for about 2 hours. Come back and pour through a strainer. It's delicious!

2) chicken cut up into strips, onion, pepper, carrots, peas, mushrooms, pepper. Add low sodium chicken broth. Add poultry seasoning. Strain.

This makes alot of extra broth, and the flavors are great and filling.

The cooked part I gave to my husband. He loves it!

I finished if off with a pineapple flavored popscicle. For a snack I had a sugar free orange Jello.

~~~

Today, I started phase two and ate a non fat plain yogurt. Additionally I added a soft boiled egg. I mean...it's about the same consistancy, both are Protein. Good for healing and it was really great to chew something!

For lunch my broth. For dinner egg drop Soup. I seem to be able to digest it all.

~~~

I'm on Clear Liquids the first week too and those pineapple sf pops are fantastic!!!:clap2:

My prayers are with you always :girl_hug:

I don't know about that, but I had to do a fleet bowel cleanse two days before my surgery. I go in tomorrow.

My pre op fast was two days only! I was like WOW! Only thing was I had to do a Bowel cleanse with fleet. That was some nast stuff.

On Saturday I had to mix 1.5 ouces of fleet seline in 12 ounces of apple juice and drink it down at 8am. You guys, I still don't know how I did it, the taste was absolutely awful and the fleet was the most dominate flavor- I don't even remember tasting the apple juice. I had to follow that by having another glass of apple juice.... It definately got my bowels going thoug....

Then I could have Water, Jello, and broth for each meal.

Today I can still have water, jello, and broth for each meal, but I can also have apple juice or diet 7 up. I can't have anything after midnight either...

Thanks to you all, your prayers and thoughts have meant the world to me! I'll check in after my surgery tomorrow.

Huggs,

Hi Everyone,

I've absolutely fallen in love with a lot of you and have kept you in my prayers as you go along your journies.

My surgery is March 12th and I've never been in the hospital for anything since the day I was born and that was 36 years ago :myscared:

Please say a special prayer for my safety and recovery. The Word of God says when two or more agree as touching anything, He is in our midst. I truly need and ask for your prayers.

Love You all to pieces!!!!!

Desi

:amen:

I love Protein Nectar! So far I've tried Crystal Skye (very good with Crystal Light Pink Lemonade), Fuzzy Navel is fantastic with Crystal Light Tangerine strawberry YUMMY! I bought Green apple today and will try it tomorrow

Great Going I know it's a journey for sure

I haven't had my surgery yet, but I'm really liking the Isopure rtd and the Protein nector. Fuzzy navel is delish!

Hi Tammy J

Protein nectar is found at Vitamin Shoppe or you can buy it online at Bariatriceating.com

Huggs,

My doctor has stated that I am a healthy person besides the obesity who did not visit doctors much.... This surgery is a health reason and I don't understand why insurance drags their feet so.

I actually wish I had kept this a secret at work, because a few people who would like to believe they know it all...have been down on my choice of surgeries and I'm trying not to be offended. Afterall I've researched this surgery for quite some time, this is not a spur of the moment thing.

I'm due for my surgery on March 23rd :mad: I'm soooooo happy. Still waiting for insurance...they sure know how to drag their feet.... I've tried Protein nector and I love it! So far I've tried fuzzy peach and the crystal sky flavors....I've also tried the Isopure drinks....I'm ready baby!

I live in Riverside and will be banded in Bev. Hills March 23rd by Dr. Liu

I'm a Media Coordinator for Time Warner...basically a glorified Girl Friday

Wow, I'm still waiting from my insurance too and they are driving me stark raving MAD!

Argggh!
