Hi All - I just got home from Barix. Other than some gas pain and nausea, I'm feeling pretty good. Dr. Pupkova and all of the staff are the best !!

Now on to getting in my water !

Hope everyone is having a great week .

Lisa,
Glad to hear that you are doing well. Isn't Dr P the BEST?? I know I am a little biased but I digress. I am moving over to make room for you on the loser's bench.

People comment on my over 100 pound weight loss and attribute it to my WILLpower, but it is my WANTpower: I WANT to be thin and healthy more than anything else!

Chele - my advice to you for getting ready for surgery, is to not do too many "last suppers". I did a last supper on Saturday afternoon (along with many prior to that) and I believe that it was not all gone from my system after the bowel prep and prior to the one day of clear liquids that was required. I think it contributed to my gas pain. I was to lose 7 pounds. I lost just over 5. I think I would have done better if I lost a few more pounds too.
You can do it !!

Welcome home and glad to hear you're feeling well - yes, Barix is the BEST - relax, heal, sip, walk - you know the drill. Keep us posted on how you're doing.

Welcome to the Loser's Bench!
