Topic: RE: I'm home!
Yeah, I weighed. I am down 14 since the day of surgery. I get to go on Wednesday and I hope to get passed off to stage 3. I am sick of shakes.
Topic: UTAH COUNTY SUPPORT GROUP
Moved here from Los Angeles 5 months ago, and haven't found a support group here. I'm willing to start one that meets twice a month if there are people interested in coming. I'm looking into locations that would be convenient ( pardon the spelling) for anyone. if interested email me directly at [email protected] or respond on here.
Thanks
Topic: RE: what about gello
Hi there -- Thank goodness for some variety! I have been able to eat sugar free jello/pudding/cottage cheese/yogurt/soup and protein drinks. I look forward to progressing to stage 3 tomorrow.
Topic: RE: Less than 12 hours to go
Awesome and best of luck~ How are you feeling today and are you experiencing any challenges. I am nearly 2 weeks post op and each day gets better. The diet is going well, the weight is coming off and I am able to sleep better each day.
Topic: RE: I'm home!
Interesting. I gained 9 lbs from the hospital stay and was discouraged. Are you now in the loser's streak?. With the 9 pound weight gain, I lost a total of 21 lbs or you could say 12 pounds (net) since Surgery.
I know that she said not to weigh yourself until it's been 30 days, but I was anxious. I am so looking forward to my visit my surgeon tomorrow and he will be progressing me to stage 3 of my diet. Woo Hoo~ 
Topic: RE: 1 week out
Hi there, Erin~
I am close to 2 weeks post op and I have been creative with the shakes. I am not a milk drinker so I substituted with soy milk. Here are the ones I have tried thus far:
Chocolate/Banana -
1/2 banana
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 8oz of Chocolate Soy Milk
1 cup of ice
Yum
Strawberry Sorbet
Fat Free strawberry yogurt
Vanilla Soy Milk
Ice - 1 cup
Unjury Strawberry Sorbet Protein powder
These are both tasty and you cannot taste the protein powder. I have 1 a day and they are quite filling too. Best of luck.
Topic: RE: Less than 12 hours to go
Thanks I really feel great, except for pain from a previous neck injury. Hard to beleive I had surgery just a few days ago. How everyone else is doing as good. I must say the hardest thing was the IV in the hand. Bernadette
Topic: Surgery scheduled 1/29/08.......
I am very excited and nervous about this surgery. I talked to the doctor and his staff and asked my questions but the answers I get are the standard ones. For anyone out there based on your experiences can you give me a for instance on what I can expect immediately following surgery concerning recovery time? walking? food? complicationns? Any advice?
Thanks,
K
