Been lurking - wanted to say Hi.

Hi all, I spend more time on the Michigan board but I really felt the need to stop lurking here and check in with ya'll. I had my surgery on 12/30 - felt great week one and feel worse this week. I think it probably has something to do with being off the pain meds. Be that as it may, I'm glad to have been staying up with where everyone in the 12/2005 cohort is doing - you really perk me up because you are at the same point I am and it feels great not to be alone. So - even it I lurk mostly - thanks so much for posting here. best, Michele P

Hi Michele, Thanks for checking in....this forum is so nice since we are all right together with our dates. I go back and forth from the main board, to the light weight and state board. I think I have traded my food addiction to this website addiction. Have a good day, Jodi

Michele, Thanks for checking in. You should try and post here more often. You may experience something that can help us out. Melissa

hi I go back and forth as well.. I had my Surg on the 16th, and am finding many many foods that make me ill... but Im hanging in there... 27 total loss so far and am stuck now. Im sure its because I dont get the full amout of calories that i should but my poor ole pouch is very very picky... (((HUGS))) Dori

Michele, Welcome. I come on this board every now and then but when I do I get tons of info. It's always great to share this experience with people in your same stage. Looks like we had the surgery at the same place just diffrent Dr. I hope everything is going good with you. If you ever want to chat just email me. I came home on Thursday the 29th. Looks like you went in on Friday. How was those laps for you? did they come in your room every 2 hours for the breathing exercises? just as I would fall asleep here come somebody. But they were helpful and only doing there job. Ihighly recommend Barix. Take Care Talk To You Soon Toria
