Thank you Diana. I get so much more out of sharing with everyone than I give. Love to 'pay is forward'. Keep plugging along with your journey too. Hugs

Topic: RE: Nearly three weeks out & can't keep protien down???

I apologize for not replying sooner. Apparently I can't reply from my phone and I don't get on the laptop very often. I am doing better since I have been able to eat some foods. I too feel tired all the time but I also have RA which fatigue is a huge side effect of that. I'm trying some different protein shakes as we speak but I'm still having problems with them. I have always had some issues with milk like constipation and stuff so I'm going to try the lactose free ones next to see if that could be the problem. I appreciate all the advice and help to my questions. The support given in this group is great.
Thanks,
crystal

Topic: Two years ago

Yes, two short years ago, I was the one headed to surgery. I recall the day, surgery scheduled late in the day and postponed a little later due to difficulties with someone earlier in the schedule. I walked laps around the waiting area while my husband and my father talked and read magazines. I am thrilled that I made the decision for wls. I am enjoying moving about easier in the smaller body.

I know that my health has improved, energy levels up, weight down, and still losing slowly. This is work, lots of hard work. Worth the time and effort. I enjoy the caring and sharing we share here at bariatric buddy group. I joined during my getting ready for surgery time, just like many others here. Some weeks, it is harder than others to get online and read posts. Life gets very busy. So everyone, let's live life and thrive.

Take care as we start a new school year for the youth in our lives. I have been watching the local children start to gather into small groups over the last couple of weeks. The same trend happens each year at this time. I noticed some leaves already changing color on a tree here and there. Fall is my fav season, just wi**** would last a couple of more months.

Hugs

Topic: RE: SURGERY DATE!!!

Adding my happy dance for you too. Congrats Jennifer, 2 years ago today, I was pacing in the hospital gown, waiting for my surgery. Seems like a lifetime ago. The time does fly by. Good to have just a short wait, less time to get stressed out.

Here to continue to share the journey with you. Hugs
