PJTP-

Some of you may be aware that back during the summer I was asked to take part in my clinics ad campaign for the month of Oct. concerning WLS and Lap Band in particular. This campaign was between Park Nicollet Clinic, WCCO-TV, the Mpls Star Tribune and the state of MN called Stay Healthy MN. I ended up being in a couple tv spots that ran all of Oct and a couple ads in the paper. Also, they did a poster of me and family for their clinics all over the state.

Well, I got an email from them saying they want to do a mass mailing to about 160,000 addresses and want new pics of me and family for it. Of course, I said I would. Haven't hidden this surgery from anyone and want to help educate.

Just thought I would share again.

That is awesome! You are going to be FAMOUS!! _bright_star__by_dutchie17.gif

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It's kind of nice to have your clinic use you as one of their main success stories.

DD didn't get Wall E somehow for Christmas. Everyone must have figured she would get it from someone else. Instead, she got something called "The Last Unicorn". She must have watched it about 10 times last weekend.

LJM - it was meeeee re: Leverage! Doesn't it rock?!? Glad you love it too! :biggrin:

So I couldn't even get down mashed potatoes at lunch today so I called the surgeon's office. (tho I did get down a container of vanilla yogurt) He said to stay on liquids 24-48 more hours. Pain with mashed potatoes was disconcerting!

Although I don't want to be so restricted that I can't drink, it would be nice to feel some real restriction. I still don't have that. I am going in for a 4th fill on the 19th.

Holy crap, LJM, you scared the bejeebers out of me on Facebook. I thought you meant you had gone into early labor! I was freaking out.

It's definitely different! I've had a pain in my left shoulder today and a pain last night around my shoulder blade. I'm wondering if they are related to the major restriction?!? :tongue2:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
