@@Dub - Radisson hotels are the ones which were using the sleep number beds. But only certain hotels and only in certain rooms. And sometimes they do not work 'quite' right. If call around and see if you can find one and reserve a room with one. You and your wife may enjoy it! Best of luck!

@@Dub I am almost 7 weeks post surgery and last week my energy levels were terrible despite the week before feeling fine. (BP was fine so that was not the reason). I don't think I am ready that I could try to work 13 hour days at this point with or without a lot of walking and I am a little further out than you. Take it easy and let your body guide you as to how much you can do.

Best of luck! I can tell you will be successful at this battle of the bulge!

7-10 was all I was able to muster this past weekend. Tomorrow starts another round. I'm going for full length runs this time.

Surgeon's visit went well this morning and I was released to try new soft Proteins for 5 small meals per day. I think this will help my energy so long as I get my Water in, too.

I apprettiate your confidence. I'm really wanting to get things right this time in regards to my weight and overall health.

I'm trying to be patient and not take on too much, but I'm ready to get rolling along.

Yep. Those are indeed the ones.

I went by the sleep Number store today and this came up.

I may reserve a room and stay on one first to see.

I only took 5 days off during when I was in pain killers. I worked from home and took a few naps. I was on a tight deadline and had to get something done by the 1st. About week 3 I felt human again and went into the office one day.

The biggest difference for me I only take 1/2 a Tylenol PM at night. If I take more there are issues in the AM getting up.

Also I get light headed so I know my blood pressure has dropped...it was never out of control I just have issues with sodium and Water retention.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
