Let start out November Group! and go....

Mine is November 26, TWO days before Thanksgiving.... When is yours?

27 lbs - that's great; congratulations!

How are you feeling? How is your energy level?

That's great angel mom. I am Down 24 today. It's so exciting. I'm slowly adding exercise in. I wish there was a surgery to make me like that lol

My energy is great ! So far everything is absolutely wonderful ! I am extremely glad I made the decsion and I wouldn't change a thing so far.

I bought new pants today. I love to shop I just couldn't help myself. I have not been in a size 14 in 8 years. I did a little happy dance!!! It has been worth every penny and every little thing I have been through. It hasn't been as bad as I was lead to believe. I've had it pretty good with just a few bumps. Even my boots fit better. I had to buy more a gal can never have too many shoes lol.

But seriously my Dr doesn't like Protein shakes but I just can't eat in the mornings. I just wonder if I can drink part of one for now until I can eat. I'm not having hunger at all so I really have to remind myself to eat. Any suggestions?

Had my two week check up today and I lost 29 pounds since surgery 52 since Halloween.

Haven' t posted in a few days.. So great to follow my fellow Nov group! Bypass on the 18th.. Just moved up to real food .. So sick of protein shakes, eggs, cottage cheese and laughing cow wedges.. ( funny those tasted so delicious a week ago)

Energy level good but still not up to 64ozs of fluids or 60 grams protein.. Each day is a bit better.. The sippy cup idea really helped me get more in!

I can tolerate the protein powder since I switched to metabolic life .. Much easier to digest with the enzymes in it!

So many helpful suggestions on this forum....

Tomorrow I can start more of an excersis program ( had added belly hernia repair) .. Fighting dehydration and low blood pressure.. Today they took me off that ! YEAAA .. Problem solved!

Hope everyone is keeping that positive attitude... It is so important now! Down 24 # and my GERD cough is gone and so are the meds for that... Keep posting.. I love reading all your journeys ! Dyan from Ohio
