I have 4 kids as well, so have been trying to pack their bags for an overnight at my sisters. And I want to get to the Gym for one last session as it may be a bit before I can go again. Will post more once I am home from surgery!! Yah!!! Here we go. Heather

MotherMary, Whoever said the Protein Drinks make more nausea gas cramps was right. I was banded a day before you and just today I am starting to feel ok with the Protein drinks.Anything milky is kind of yuck. Just take it slow till youre ready. I did do some protein waters to get some protein in without the milkiness...good luck! Cali

JB, So you've already made and saved one on ticker.com? OK, then go up to the top and click the "User CP" tab and choose my signature from the drop down. Then you have to paste that weird code thing into your box and save...good luck! Cali

Hey Cali,

Happy to hear you're feeling better. I was starting to think I was the only one with nausea and not able to tolerate the Protein drinks. Every says how good they feel right after. Each day is getting easier, but it's slow.

Mary

surgery in 11 hrs, 19 minutes. all should be well. cheated a wee bit on the pre-op liquids, but I've dropped 20lbs in 6 days... feeling like hell-- dietician told me today i could do 4oz chicken breast... i added a slice of low fat provolone... and i took a bite of a cheeseburger on day 2. wife (who goes 115 soaking wet with boots on) was eating it, and i had to liberate a bite... full well knowing Buns may not be in the cards for me again... and getting dizzy as i drove...

good luck to everyone else coming up soon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
