Hello everyone I am a brand new member of this site and could use some help. I started my shakes today and it couldn't have gone worse. It was just as bad as the drink you take for a colonoscopy. ?. Anyone have any suggestions that will help with the taste. I've read people use coffee but I don't drink coffee.
Please Help!! ?
Hello everyone! I'm a little early for my 4th month update ( it's not until the 19th) but I got on the scale this morning and I'm 199lbs!?? I was shocked! I thought It was wrong and kept stepping on and off because I handn't seen under 200 in ages! Yay so happy I just had to share!
I have a desk job so I took two weeks off, but I could have went back after 1 week
Some people take a week, most take two. Others take a lot more time off. I was fine to go back in a week.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I took 8 weeks, I have a job where heavy lifting is required. I also wanted to return when I was on regular food. My dad saw me 3 days after my surgery and said I looked like I had nothing done lol. Take each day as it comes, each day you will feel better. I haven't had any regrets regarding surgery the only regret was not doing it sooner.
Wishing you the very best on your upcoming surgery.
meeting surgeon on wednesday. Hoping too get accepted for surgery. Just wondering from other peoples experiences(and i know everyone is different) How much time should i take off from work before going back to be completely healed?
Good morning. Well I report my successes so I have to report my failure. I did not go to the gym this morning. I was just too stinkin' tired. 
Anyway, what a beautiful day. Sure wish I wasn't at work. I toyed with the idea of taking the day off! But it's just early June so if I start that now it could turn into a really long summer. We are going out to a patio for lunch to enjoy the beautiful day.
