TMB peeps- thank you!

And how about Dr L's message about no sit ups, missy ?  I am watching you so you better be good or I'll know !

Great seeing you and thanks so much for sharing with others your experience !

Ack! You must be a mind reader as well as the best bariatric plastic surgeon. I was just thinking about doing them this afternoon, but only thinking about them, not doing them.

It was great getting to hear your presentation- I'm getting close to nailing down round 2 with you.

See you next month and tell Sally "Hi" for me-

Shelly...what was the message regarding no sit ups?

Hi Dasie,

Prior to my lbl, I was doing 600 crunches a day, several times a week. After a lbl with the muscle repair, you're not supposed to do any abs until you are at least 6 months out.

My 6 month mark will be Dec. 1 and I told him I was going to have an ab party, and he told me I still need to ease my way back into them and especially not to be doing any sit ups before it is time since they can stretch out the internal sutures.

Thank you  .600 ...that's truly amazing.

Thanks Miss Shelly for the shout-out.  Wish we'd had more time to talk. 

I didn't have a chance to hear Dr Garth's talk but I know from personal experience as well as from watching my friends struggle with regain that SOLID protein fills us up and keeps us full longer-PERIOD.  Should we all eat more fruits and veggies?-sure but only AFTER we've had our solid protein.  If I were to eats salads and fruit only, I'd be starving in an hour.
