Topic: RE: How are all of my December 2008 friends doing?
Happy New Year, Rob and fellow Decemberans! I lost 16.8 from surgery to 1st appt (1 week) but doc explained it would definitely slow down! Next appt is Tuesday so I'll find out then. I plan to only weigh myself once a week and not make myself crazy and a slave to the scale.
I was starting to feel really fantastic, but I sent back to work on Friday and a wave of neausea and dizziness overcame me. Today (Sat) I'm also feeling the same - nauseaus and very tired. But I know it'll get better. Perhaps I'm just drinking too fast.

Topic: RE: Is anyone else still struggling
Ditto for me. I'm just a tad under 2 weeks out and on pureed foods. So far the meals aren't too bad but the drinking, especially the protein drinks make me very nauseous and overly full. Perhaps I am drinking them too fast and need to make them last. My first week I was intaking 4 oz over an hour, and I am drinking the protein 8 oz in 1/2 hour. For my next drink, I will commit to going back to using the timer and 1 oz medicine cup to sip it.

Rock on wit' yer bad self! 
Seriously, that is totally awesome! Keep rockin' that sippin' and walkin' and you'll be outrunning us all very soon! I have to wait until the 22nd for my follow-up and I'm anxious for that day to get here. Started purees yesterday and I'm already wondering how I'm going to manage getting it down for another 12 days! UGH! lol
Be careful going home and I'll look forward to more updates from you soon!!
Here's an ange for your trip home! Be safe!

Topic: RE: Freezing all the time now!!!
Cheers from friggin freezing CANADA!! -32 plus windchill makes -40!!
Sorry, just had to make sure you all knew how darned cold it is up here! haha
I had read plenty about being cold after surgery, but thought it was after losing all the weight! I had no idea it would start so soon! Slippers, Sweaters, and Blankets, that's my only salvation.
