Sept. 8th & 9th Gastric Bypass surgery.

Also my left sided abdominal pain "could be" Constipation, but the Dr is going to take a look/listen on Thursday at my appt.

I had a lot of pain as well on that side until I had a bowel movement, I found that Miralax once a day is helping me stay "regular" all the Protein is famous for binding you up.

Fingers crossed that they have nothing but good news at the apt!

I saw your weight loss that's awesome!! I wasn't as heavy as some when I got my surgery so I expect my weight loss to be slow but was surprised to have lost 10 pounds this week as well!!

I haven't been on iin a few days . I am so thrilled to hear that everyone is doing so well. No COPD issues. Hopefully no colds within the next 3 weeks. I don't want to have to re-schedule my surgery. My mom will be home tonight. I'll be heading over to her house to take care of her. I wish she could see and understand the steps I'm going through . She used to say You need to try to lose so weight for your health. I told her about the program and hope that she can understand somewhere within.

Our menu had refried Beans on it, so I tried them tonight. They went down pretty good. I am so looking forward to egg salad that's sad huh!?! lol

Tomorrow we are taking our son to a 4H fair, it should be perfectly terrible smelling all the fair food. It's like being pregnant again I can't stand how things smell. I am looking forward to seeing how excited my son gets about the animals again this year.

Ugh.... My incisions/scabs are starting to get itchy. I hate that because it's soooo hard not to scratch. I just hope I don't do it in my sleep.

I had some chobani yogurt today.... It was a nice change and 12 grams of Protein.

I was thinking about egg salad too but then quickly turned to thoughts of deviled eggs. LOL

I'm really curious if I will be able to tolerate scrambled eggs when the time comes.... That seems to be a huge issue for a lot of ppl.

I guess eggs can be really dry & get stuck. A poached egg might be better since it's runny & cooked in Water put a touch of cheese on it while it's in the pan then it's going to have a touch more flavor.

[angelicHG7 118]

I can't eat runny eggs.... I can't wait to give them a try though.

All I can think about is Thanksgiving and Christmas food, especially the cornbread stuffing with giblet gravy my Mom makes!!!

[mightyschratt 30]

Other than that, I'm allergic to milk and eggs.< /p>

[mightyschratt 30]

I can't eat eggs, but I love making omelets for my family. Instead of cooking them in butter and grease, I put everything in a zip-lock bag, mix it all up, and either microwave it or boil the bag for a few minutes! Best omelets ever!!!

[angelicHG7 118]

Stuffing is the best part of the feast for sure....maybe I should start looking for alternatives.

[InspirationMySon 135]

I would say that turkey would be about as much as any of us should really be eating that day. Everything else is fat & carb laden so if it doesn't cause dumping it's going to slow your weight loss. Plus there is a really good chance stuffing will get stuck it's sticky & in some cases dry.

I plan to get some reduced fat gravy so I can enjoy moist turkey. Maybe some green Beans or some other veggies if I have progressed to that.

I read a post some place else about really being "good" have until you reach your goal because it starts with things like Thanksgiving & you just come undone.

We all worked hard to get here so let's think of other rewards for ourselves like getting a new shirt, a pedi or our hair down to reward ourselves for exercising self control & sticking to our diet?

[angelicHG7 118]

I think you misunderstood.... We weren't talking about eating it.

It's coming up and I was referring to what I will miss most about the thanksgiving feast. Trust me... I am not a huge fan of traditional holiday feasts, so those aren't even triggers for me.

It's so hard to know what ppl are really trying to say when they are posting.

Hi , How's everyone doing? I miss you guys I'm doing okay I just came from my surgeons office I should be having surgery before this month Is out I'll keep you guys posted.

[angelicHG7 118]

Hey girl.... I was just thinking about you last night.

I'm glad that things are falling in-line for you. I can't wait to hear all about your process. You will still be a Sept. Baby!!!! Yay

I am doing great.... I'm pretty much feeling back to normal other than the minor itch I get every now and then around my incisions. Oh... And it's soooo hard for me to drink Water but I'm not giving up.

I have been able to tolerate all of my pre-approved drinks/soups/puddings/jello.... And I am very thankful to have been mostly pain free from surgery.

I am finally losing so that's the biggest plus.... But I'm trying not to let that be everything.

Please let me know when you find out your date....
