Hi Brenda, you are looking great. Glad you checked in to say hello. I am having trouble with my protein shakes too, but I have been going to Robeks and Jamba Juice daily to get a protein enriched drink, they seem to taste so much better than the ones that are store bought or made at home. I'm doing ok with water though. That's by my side all day even throughout the night. Keep up the good work. Talk to you soon.

Hi Brenda, your new avatar looks great. I haven't weighed myself since my 2 week check up because I dont want to get caught up in weighing all the time and being upset when I haven't lost as much as I think I should have. I will weigh in on the 15th, I'll be 1 month out and I think I'll continue weighing about once every 2 weeks. I was so glad to see your message to me this morning and glad to hear all is well with you. As for proteins and liquids I think I need to up both a little, but I'm trying. I'm doing good though and feeling great. Please keep in touch and keep up the good work.

Hi Brenda, how are you? I haven't heard from you in a few weeks. Hope all is well. Check in with me when you have the time.

hi again KyMama56! i'm in a small town bout 20 somethin miles south of bowling green called scottsville. if ya yawn you'd miss it. oh i was noticin that lots of people had the same surgery you had. was wonderin if ya know of many people that's had the lap band surgery. that's what i'm gonna have. my weight loss is suppose to be slower they say but i question how that could be if my intake is so little. take care and i look forward to followin your success!!! good luck and ttys~tammy!!!

Hi Brenda, I just came back from my two week check up and I am down exactly 30 lbs. When I saw the scale I couldn't believe it. I still cant see it but my family says they can. Yes I think that your liquid intake is good. I am struggling with taking my protein, but I am getting enough liquids in though to. How is the swelling? Gone down I hope. Good to hear from you. Keep in touch.

You are doing great. Don't stress about the fluids being "too much" I found that after the first week I was doing fine with the fluids.. I had a bigger problem with "Wanting" the fluids LOL.

I am making a post today in the socialize section. Take a look if you get a chance later.

All the best,

Jeff

hi KyMama56! thanks for addin me! i look forward to chatin. oh i'm a kentucky mom too! i'm still pre-op but hope it won't be much longer now. ttys~tammy!!!

Swelling is normal, and yeah I thought I looked bigger as well. I am so glad t hear you are doing well! I wanted to come by and visit you at the hospital, but real life had me busy. Are you going to the monthly meetings? Let me know and we can meet.

All the best,

Jeff

Hi Brenda, sorry to hear about the gas pains. I was having them and just today at almost 1 week out I am starting to feel the swelling go down and less and less gas. I did break out in severe hives yesterday itching all over even my eyelids. A reaction to the codeine in the pain meds they sent me home with. But it is at least bearable to day. Glad to hear other than gass all is well for you.

Hi Brenda, I am home and doing well, yes it is hard trying to get all of my fluid in, I get that same bloated feeling. Glad to hear you are doing well.
