Went to Bodega Bay for the 4th of July weekend...so nice! But came back today to HOT weather! Argh! Prior to leaving I had what the doctor thinks is a "gall bladder attack"...sure hope it doesn't have to be removed!

How was your weekend?

Hi Monica Ann,

Thanks for stopping by.. No problem, don't worry about how long it might take you to contact me.. I had my 1 month check up on the 1st and I lost 26 lbs. That is in the normal range per my surgeon. I brisk walked 3 miles today for the first time and I feel great!! It seems as the days pass I feel more healthy as time passes. It is so weird to be walking so much and not out of breath.. I just put on my MP3 player and jam to the music as I walk.. The time flies by..

I did try an egg last week, but it was an egg drop soup that passed very easily and was totally satisfying.. Thank goodness. I was worried until I didn't get the uncomfy feeling... I am not too hot on hard boiled eggs so I haven't tried them yet...

I hope that you aren't over doing it at work!! Try to enjoy the 4th with your family and friends...
You are a sweetheart...
Loving Hugz,
Tina...

Hey, our birthdays are just a few days (and years) apart! You're doing awesome on your weight loss. Keep up the great work....and it is work sometimes!

hey sorry it's been a while! Chicken salad like tuna salad but chicken! haha... No plateau yet... Still losing but I've been throwing up a lot.

Thanks! I haven't hit a plateau yet... but I think one of the easiest ways I get my protein in is those carnation instant breakfasts plus I made this awesome chicken salad and I just eat that for my meals. It hasnt been extremely easy, but I've been doing it.

Thanks for the advice! I haven't thrown up yet. I ate eggs, pudding, pureed roast and corn, and pudding and cottage cheese and haven't gotten sick at all. I dunno. I'm hoping it never happens. But I'm sure it will.

I lost 19.5 lbs so far already so I'm excited!

Hope you have a great weekend girl!!!! xoxoxox

Thanks for the add!

So today was my 1st follow up appointment and they progressed me to phase 2 pureed foods. I had 1 egg scrambled and it was nice to eat something for once.

Have you had any problems keeping food down? and about how long after you eat does it come back up if it's going to?

I know that sounds silly or gross but I really don't know what to anticipate.

Hey Monica! Just happened to pass your profile in the forum and thought it might be nice to talk w/ someone who is a few weeks ahead of me! I justt had my surgery on 4/10/08 so I'm 7 days out! I'm anxious to see how you are feeling? ttys ~Bridge

You're welcome, Monica. I look forward to getting to know you better too.
