Here I am coming up to 3 weeks post surgery.  I am feeling great. I healed very quickly and very well after my surgery, after the first 24 hours I didn't have much pain at all.

I have followed the doc's orders and have done everything they have asked of me.  I am tolerated crackers, eggs, tuna and a few other foods that you are allowed after the 2nd week. 

Here's my issue.  I am still getting used to this new stomach and how much it can hold and my grasp on the "eating slow" thing is not quite there yet.  I find myself forgetting sometimes to eat much slower and chew chew chew.  I have thrown up about 6 times in the past 2.5 weeks.  Everytime I eat I try to concentrate on eat slowly but that odd time I forget, boy does it come back to haunt me. 

I started my 3 week protein shakes on May 11 and as of today June 18th I am down 47lbs.  I am feeling great but still have a way to go, but I am very determined and confident and it has been a very long time since I said those words and meant them ;-)

is anyone else having a hard time getting a referral to the weight wise clinic from a doctor? If so have you solved the issue? 

I see you got the info, not sure where you live but the Red Deer Clinic is great

looking to see if we can get a support group together in Drayton Valley. Swap recipes, help each other stay on track. Someone that wants to exercise together. 

Hi,

im in the calgary clinic. I was referred in March 2014. My intake appt was in May 2014. My classes were July-August 2014. And I saw the surgeon in January. I should be having surgery in the next few months. The wait isn't that long. It goes by quickly.
