You really should call your doctor or your surgeon. A pain every morning needs to be addressed by a medical professional.

I was a light exerciser at first but now I am a gym junkie. I think once you feel like you are moving more easily, the desire will be there. That's what happened to me and now a good sweat is an awesome feeling!

I'm in Aurora. Had surgery on 9/15.

You are so right! once i start moving ill be good to go. I just ordered Zumba dvds to hopefully I can get into that this week and go out for walks. in regards to the pain. this morning I didnt wake up with too much pain. but i am gonna call dr just to be safe

Just wanted to say Hello to all who have posted. hopefully we can keep this post going

Would love to keep this going. I am going to go working out tonight. Let's see how I do tonight. The scale is moving but very slow. By oz's only:( I want it to move more. So I will see what happens this week.

at surgery the dr put 1cc and at fill i was given 3cc's and im still very hungry. i have changed what i eat and how much but i can still eat bread. i prefer to eat pitas which is not like me at all. ive always eaten bread or tortillas but i feel a pita with grilled chicken and lettuce curbs my appetite. is anyone takin vitamins or calcium? im taking gummy vitamins and calcium chews cause my hair started fallin out.

in regards to the weight.... one morning i can wake up and ill be 230.4 and next morning ill be 234.6 and it really fluctuates. as soon as i wake up i do my morning business and remove all clothing and weigh myself. so it is a bit fustrating to fluctuate. that was always one of my problems prior to surgery... i had fluctuating weight
