Newbie only 4 weeks post-op

[LexiNWO 4]

Hi all.....I'm Alexis. Was disheartened to find I was kicked out of my last support group from reasons unknown. A friend recommened this one. Still trying to figure out the app but like so far! Are you able to chat privately with other users? Share recipies/tips/advice??

Hi, I'm Fuzzy and also 4 weeks out. Down 31 and at the 3 week stall. I don't know if there is a private chat but would like to. I'm in Florida. You? I feel well; the only time I'm in pain is when I play bridge; that's due to the awful chairs. There is good news. I saw my regular doc and he cut my diabetic med down from 500mg 2x p/day to 250 once a day. I still have to push myself to get out and walk. I still haven't tried going back to the gym or yoga. How are you doing? If you reply I will see it show up in my email. Fuzzy

I'm down from 311-274. Haven't been cleared for physical activity by the surgeon yet. I'm up north in small town in northwestern ontario. I don't have pain unless my belly is giving me heck about what I ate. Haven't seen any of my doctors yet since I left hospital. I'm doing okay so far, struggling with water/protein intake and finding things I can eat that don't make me sick or get tired of easily.

Hi Alexis,

Welcome to the boards! Hopefully you will have a better experience here than on your past site. I don't know about a chat, but you can send private individual or group (5) messages. If you click on the persons name, it will take you to a place to set up a message.

I look forward to seeing you around here!

Amy

Hi Alexis! I won't be 4 weeks postop until next Wednesday but, like Fuzzy, I am at the 3-week stall. This site is awesome for support and I am finding lots of us who had surgery right around the same time. Welcome aboard!
