When I saw Dr. Fontana for my post-op (which was at 10 days out) he said I could get in the pool but not to stay in it for more the 20 or 30 minutes at a time... He said it was ok cause my incisions were healed, so as long as you incisions are healed it should be fine...

You just reminded me that I need to call Jeanne. I am going to Ocean Breeze tomorrow with my daughter's class and I want to ask her if it is ok for me to get in the pool yet. We've been going to Ocean Breeze a lot the last few weeks, but I've just been laying out or dipping my feet in the kiddie pool. My daughter really wants me to go in the wave pool with her

Oh yes I discovered wendy's chili too!!! It was like heaven! I talked to jeanne today... she said i was ok to have salad, but to take it easy... that is the highlight of my day! I have been craving salad!!!!

Hey Girlie!! I know what you mean about getting used to being at home! I enjoyed it to. Oh well, back to the grind. Sorry I just noticed today that I had a message...I'm so bad at this. Things are going well. I switched over to regular foods last week and I've been able to handle everything really well. My favorite thing right now is Wendy's Chili ....yumm! I decided this weekend to make some chili myself so I don't have to keep running to Wendys. It's not the same, but it will do just fine Anyway, I'm doing pretty good with the weight. As of today, I've lost 16 pounds since surgery. That's not counting the weight I had to re-lose from all of the fluids and water weight (that sucked!). So, I guess I am doing ok with that...I wish it was coming off faster, but oh well, at least it is coming off. I've started exercising alot. I'm really lucky that we have a gym at my office so I go in there during my lunch and do the treadmill for about 45 min. Last week, I decided to walk outside..but it was so dang hot I thought I would pass out...but I made it . Anyway, I hope things are going well for you too! Please keep in touch! Judy

Hey! You must have ESP cause I logged in to leave you a message and you had beat me to it! LOL. I am doing well. I started back to work on Monday too. I am hating it, I got too used to being at home. So how much have you lost? I'm down 17 lbs. since surgery, but the last few days I have been fluctuating a pound or two... I guess it is that 3 week plateau everyone talks about. Well, let me know how you are doing and I will talk to ya soon!

Hey Rachael!! How are you doing? Are you back to work yet? I just started back on Monday and things have been crazy...but starting to settle down today. Sorry I never got back to you on the phone...just been busy, ya know. Anyway, let me know how you're doing!
Take Care,
Judy

Hey Judy! I had the same problem yesterday. I think the website was down. I am excited and i am sure you are too. You are a couple of days ahead of me, right? Maybe I will see you on your way out!

Hi Rachel...This is Judy from NSG : ). I tried getting on TT yesterday at work, but I couldn't get on for some reason. Going to try again today, but I just wanted to post a quick Hi....I'm getting so excited, but dreading that pre-op diet. I know you're excited too. Take Care!! Judy
