@@freshair I thought maybe you'd be able to come back if you weren't living too far away. I can see you're point though about the one on one. Thanks for the heads up because I wasn't expecting a group session for my one month follow up.

@@Ivanova8 im in North york and i go down on the train, so going and coming back on the train would be pointless and waiting around for 4 hours just wasn't as appealing to me anymore especially with the minus 30 weather. Hopefully I'll make it to the one on the 21st

@@cab127 I'm sorry I thought you were on Jan 9th. I think I've lost 8lbs. Like you I've also enjoyed my Opti-fast. But I will be happy to move on to the next stage. It's hard cooking for my hubby and not eating any of it. But it's all going to be worth it I'm sure.

Hi @ivanova8. The countdown is on. Remind me again are you at TWH. I am getting nervous and excited as well. If you are at TWH so am I and I am after you. Hoping you have a great recovery

Hi cab127,

I had terrible gas pains when I first got home....the more exercise I did the better. Meaning, walk, walk, walk. I lived to fart. I'm sorry if that offends but seriously it was a godsend.

@@anewme15 Hi. The first few days were okay except for the Constipation. But the past three days I've been dealing with light-headedness. I almost fainted twice while using the washroom. I talked to the nurse this morning. She says to keep as hydrated as I can and to take my time getting up. Not helping so far. She did say if it keeps up to go see my general practitioner. So I hope it improves over the next couple of days since I'm not up to drving yet. Thanks for asking. =)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
