Hello all my fellow lucky 7's !!!!!!

Sorry it took so long for me to give you some updates....I vowed to read all the missed posts !!!!! That only took me ONE day.

So today is day 4 post op and I'm finally feeling good. The first TWO days were killer !!! The "GAS" was horrendous !!!!! I was using the pain med just for the gas pains. The abdomen feels 'sore' but not bad really. I went for my follow up visit with the doctor today.... all bandages removed, sites healing well, and LOST 12 lbs !!!!! woooohoooo !!

I'm getting tired of the clear liquids.... can't wait to EAT mashed potatoes on Saturday !!!!

Missed you all..... good to be back !!!!

Now I need to work on a new ticker..... Snag

Dini, I see you have a new weight loss ticker, COOL!!!

Welcome back Dakota and snaggletooth, glad you're both doing well.

Great, Dakota! Glad to hear you're doing so well. Our group of Lucky 7's is just kicking butt and taking names w/this surgery!!!

I can't believe I have been gone for four hours and there's a cruise in the works! DH and I went to the Caribbean last xmas and had a great time. It was Carnival Conquest. I would live there if I could!

Went to see the nutritionist today, and all diets are differente, here is what mine said:

- Always eat with your non-dominant hand

- Use only baby utensils, including plates

- Do not use up any calories in drinks ( including Protein drinks)

- In addition to the multi-vitamin, take Calcium and omega-3 supplements

- Have 70 grams of protein a day, from: meat, poultry, fish, pork, nuts, cheese, cottage cheese, egg, Peanut Butter.

- A little bit of vegetables.

- sugar-free jell-o, popsicles ( no fudgesicles), crystal light, broth, tea

- No more than 30 grams of carbs a day

- Low-fat: no butter, fried, dressings etc...

- Twenty-four hours prior to surgery clear sugar free liquids only

This should be fun!!

Dini, I see you have a new weight loss ticker, COOL!!!
