Thank You.

Randicooper19, What I did b4 deciding to take this step is I dieted for yrs with success. I changed my eating habits yrs before now. I have always enjoyed trying new recipes etc. I created a folder & I'm on pinterest with ALL healthy recipes. That way, I'm still getting delicious meals but low cal high protein. You're at a…

Thank You! Wow rt now I can't imagine getting in that much h2o lol. But I know that it'll happen, over time.

Thank You! Sounds like it took you about a month to get used to the changes. I'm ready for "my normal". Rt now I just feel an overall since of being uncomfortable at times. wishing you the best, too.

Christianlady, yesterday was my 3rd post op day & I felt the same exact way. Glad to know that I'm not alone. Today, it's getting a little better. Floraguilar, I'm not getting in the recommended amount yet either. I guessing that it's something that we build up to doing. I sip all day. I've started spacing things out so…

3 days post op. I haven't had nausea but I haven't tried many things. How do I get in enough protein? I can't tell if I'm hungry from the pain. The pain is becoming more tolerable. What was your favorite sleeping position after surgery? I'm tired of sleeping on my back. Some advised to use lots of pillows but that's not…

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Today, I'm 3 days post op.

Tomorrow I go for my pre op visit. The big day is Monday.

Welcome floraguilar. I'm currently doing my pre diet but my dr gave me a strict list of what & how much I can eat during this time. The shakes that I think are good are Syntrax Matrix. I wish you the best!!! Kalilioness, glad to hear that you made it through the wedding with ease. I have a wedding to attend on 7/20. That…

Gypsie & myfatpub... I hope that your surgery went well & that you guys are having a speedy recovery.

HI All, I'm doing my pre surgery diet now. So I'm new to the shakes & protein bars. I have tried a few that were ughhh "hard to swallow". I finally found one that I like. It's Syntrax Matrix.

Day 5 of my pre surgery diet. It's not too bad. I have had some challenging moments but I have not strayed off course. July 4th was rough but I got through it.

Good Evening All, Tomorrow I will start my 3 wk pre diet and I am scheduled for my pre op visits etc. Things are rolling along, again.

Hi, I wish you the best. I'm glad that you joined this thread. I love it b/c finally I have ppl who can relate to my struggle. I'm sure that you will find answers & support from the ppl on here. I recommend joining another group named Bariatric Surgery Support Group Central. The Admin for that group is a God send to us…

Awwww Thank You sooo much for the advice!!!

Hi All, I'm glad to read that you all are doing well. Gypsie, I'm glad that you're having a speedy recovery. I FINALLY heard from my surgeons office with a surgery date. It is set for July 22. I'm soooo excited to see a significant wt loss but I also have some anxiety about the surgery & the aftermath of it. I apologize…

Good luck to you as well. I understand completely about the tv commercials. Ughhhh that's the worst when every time you turn around there's something to remind you of food. Talk about will power!!!

I would like to thank everyone for joining this group, especially, Nickdemarco. Thank you so much for your insight. I'm still waiting on the call from my dr's office to schedule my surgery date. My surgeon's pre-diet is for 3 wks. It's 800 calories but it's food & protein shakes. It's still going to be very difficult but I…

Thank You

You have come to the rt place for support. The ppl on here are amazingly supportive. I wish you much success.

Hi All, I was cleared this wk by the dietician for surgery. She says that they will contact me in about a wk & I will start my 3wk pre diet at that time. Thank you all for the support & I wish you all MUCH SUCCESS!!!

Hi All, I wish you all the best of luck with your surgeries. Most days I wish that I had my surgery date but on other days I'm super nervous about it. I'm trying to keep my eyes on the prize lol ( a much smaller me). Thank you all for joining this group & being willing to talk about it.

Hi, I'm looking to lose a significant amount of wt and would love to be a part of this thread. My only concern is that I'm not very familiar with the site & I'm not sure if I'll be able to get back to the thread.

Hi, I'm 33 and this is probably my 3rd attempt to lose wt. I've been successful in the past in losing but not in keeping it off. This time seems different for me bc I've learned the benefits of losing wt & I'm super excited to achieve to my goal wt. I've been using the workout dvd to the "for food lovers diet" for a while.…

Hi, I'm sort of new to "myfitness" as well. I am in need of extra support too. We can motivate each other. We will beat this wt loss battle!!!
