I'm at 3.5 weeks and I go back to work tomorrow for the first time. I have 3 meals to eat so I'm taking a protein & fiber drink for one meal, yogurt (4 oz) for another and 3 crackers, a slice of cheese and thin deli turkey slice for the other.

Is this enough? Oh, and too many vitamins and calcium to fit in, lol.

Great news Don!!!

Church, retirement party for a dear friend and collecting a purchase from Craig's list - then a 3 mile walk this evening if it's not storming.

Last - setting my mind for a busy week at work - I will survive, I will survive, I will survive.
Happy Sunday to all of you!

 I am going to hit a bucket of golf balls. This will be my first time in two years. I will probably have to adjust my swing since I lost my big belly. This evening I will probably grill something with my son and his friend who is visiting us.

Oh....and I got the job. They called last night and made me an offer. The pay isn't great but it is a lot better than what I am making now. I have to go take my drug test tomorrow morning and then start work on Wednesday or Thursday.

Thank you. It feels good to be back. As for Dr. Mann. He is AWESOME!! I love him. He is, in my opinion, one of the best surgeons there is here in NC. Dr. Mann and his staff is always there if you have any questions and as for after having the surgery, he has the best bedside care and he will definitely make you feel like you are special. He is very supportive and caring. He will always ask you if you have any questions or if you are concerned about anything and he actually sits there and explains it to you in terms that you can understand. He lays it out in plain english so you know exactly what he is saying. All in all, in my opinion you are in great hands!
I hope I answered ur question for ya. If you wanna talk more about it just send me a messege and I will be more then happy to chat with ya. I'm here if u need me!!

Hi Emelinda,
Glad you're back, I didn't know you from before, I'm relatively new and pre-op. I also have Chris Mann for my surgeon. Was he wonderful? I want to know what to expect. He was great when I had my endoscopy a couple weeks ago and my consult is on 7/5.

I am amazed at your weight loss. Half your original weight is gone! Congrats on such great success! Give yoursself an extra boost and step up your exercise routine, maybe add some weights if you haven't done that yet. I'm afraid of the loose skin and want to work on toning while losing the weight. 

Take care & keep in touch with us,
HUgs
