Dont stress getting in all the protien in  it will all come in time.. DO YOUR BEST is the motto for newbies.. if you dont make it.. try again tomorrow. just make sure you are always sipping some liquid.. water or your protien of choice.. just sip almost constantly.. except right  after you eat that is..Dehydration is not fun.

Welcome to the board.. My son had his surgery at St V Carmel on the 10th... maybe you saw him... he was the one almosty running in the hall... He made about 35 laps those days...

 I had to have seen your son!!  How neat.  I was there on the 11th... Likely I had no clue on the 11th... I saw quite a few people... and met a few people as well... even met a few who had the surgery!  Was quite neat!

Welcome to the boards, as you have already been told, this is a great resource.  Its nice to have you here and we look forward to hearing how your journey plays out!

Megs,
Welcome.   I just had my surgery on the 4th, so I'm only a week ahead of you.  It does seem impossible to get everything in right now, but I'm doing my best.  Make sure you're drinking enough liquids. 
As far as thinking that you feel better than you do...don't ru****!  REALLY!  I had a day where I felt wonderful and cleaned my house....I paid for it for the next 2 days.  Just when I think I've recovered, I start to feel crappy again.  Don't over do it. 
Anyhoo...I go to school in Indy, so I'm there half of the week.  Let me know if you want to have a walking date or something. 
Take good care.

Blessings on your new journey,
Allissa

 Thank-you all for your support.  I have to say this is insane.  I was not ready... I am actually headed back to St. V for fluids in a few.... Let's hope this helps!

Throop huh,

I have my date so the waiting it what kills you........Keep Busy
I live on the east side of Evansville.
going to join y after surgery for aqua exercise
I wish you luck

Yup..I am in Evansville too. Had my surgery on Sept 30. Keep going girls...the waiting is the hard part! I already feel so much better after my surgery. I am 7 weeks out now and 35 pound thinner! It feels fantastic. The protein continues to be a struggle but the fluids go just fine.
Good luck ladies and if y'all want to gt together sometime...just give me a yell!

Hi!   Hope you are feeling better!  I haven't had surgery yet...my letter has just been submitted to insurance for approval.  I am 30 too, so I'm glad you are here because I am interested in seeing how things go for you!  I live in Indianapolis...downtown.  Too bad I am not closer to Carmel!
