Topic: RE: I'm home!
i gained 6 pounds in the hospital but it was fluid retention. I know my fingers looked like sausages they were so fat. When I came home I tried on my rings and they were too tight. I got them on today and they were better. Imma give it a few more days before I try to wear them. The fluid retention will go away as soon as we get to drinking as we should. I am having problems taking sips and still trying to drink. Not good. Oh well, I will learn or deal with the pain.

Hi Gwen
I have not had my surgery yet but I remember reading something that I think will help.
Go to http://www.amylhwilliams.com and click on pouch rules for dummies. I remember other ladies having your problem said it was very helpful and they again started loosing. Please let me know if you find it helpful and if it works.
Bernadette Good luck
Topic: I'm not a loser anymore!!
Did anyone gain over the holidays? I'm two years out in March, I've gained 10 pounds and they won't go away. I'm trying everything that I can think of. I refuse to gain anymore that the 10. So far I've been able to control that, I just can"t lose what I've gained! Any ideas out there? My doctor will strangle me if I hav'nt lost this by my two year exam March 6th. Any ideas would be nuch appriciated.
Thank you much.
Gwen
Topic: Got my surgery date, February 5th! RNY
Now what? All of my testing and poking and prodding has been done. I have my pre-op appt on Tuesday (1/22/08) 7am! I guess i am basically scared about coming home afterward. Afraid i am going to do the wrong thing. Going to Walmart tomorrorw, i heard that one of the Bullet blenders are handy, a baby plate (divided into 3 tiny sections, a baby spoon, until i get used to taking such small portions and bites. I need to also know what is the best tasting protein powder to get? Do i mix it with water, or soy milk? Sorry for all of the questions, But, i know this is an awesome site to be at and i have seen many ppl on this board count on eachother and come back with good results!

I'm sure you'll hear from him, or at least from his office.
I had to call my surgeon's office once since leaving the hospital, and I was able to talk with one of his nurses, not the doctor himself.
Good luck!
Topic: RE: What is your favorite protein drink?
Wait a second...you get PEANUT BUTTER??? Lucky.
For the ice cubes - is that a protein drink frozen into cubes?
I can't get any protein drinks down, except WARM milk (so totally odd, I realize), but this one sounds SO.GOOD!
