    Topic: RE: Things are moving along quickly - What do you wish someone had told you before the surgery?
    They stopped moving! For days! I eventually ended up in the ER for an enema - really embarrassing but it had to be done! If I had known I would have done a bowel prep and gotten it all out before sugery. If I ever go under anestisia again I know I should do that! I just wish I had even known to talk to my NP about it before hand.

    Good luck! I had never been under anestisia before so I wish I had talked to my doc or NP about the impact on my bowels (I know a little TMI) but it was the worst part about my recovery. If I had taled about it I would have at least been prepared.

    Topic: RE: Supplements and Protein Shakes after surgery-don't get ripped off!!!
    I order from BJ and they only charge what they are charged from the post office - I was really surprised on how heavy the stuff was - you can order from them thru Amazon so it is very easy

    Topic: RE: only 30 vsg surgeries
    Do you like the surgeon and the plan? I have heard on these boards that the VSG is "easier" than the RNY so if they are good at that . . . I picked a surgeon with less expirence because I was more comfortable with the program - good luck

    Topic: RE: Slip up
    Thanks everyone! I am getting rid of the offending food to see if that helps. I can see how easy it is to slip into old habits. Luckily the scale hasn't shown it yet but it definitely felt like a gate way to bad behavior. M

    Topic: RE: Slip up
    So hoe do you recover from a slip? In the last two days I have made some mistakes and I fear that I am going downhill.

    So how did you recover from your slip ups?
