I am sorry you had to go through this experience but I at the office where i go the NP does everything for me I prefer her she is the best her name is Judy now she is the only NP in the office that i really feel comfortable. I have not seen my surgeon since the day of surgery. I much rather have someone that is patient friendly and experience no matter the title.

I did it with no problem. I was a bit nervous. I took pj's with me and my ipod i had a time getting a sleep and it was ok when i did relax. It helped me get approved because I didnt have anything but weight so they determined i had a mild case  i got approved oh well. Good luck you will do fine.

I love Zumba. I also take Rep Reebox its a group weight lifting class at the local Y. I take spining as well now that kicks my butt. Kickboxing was hurting my hip I will get with that again later but as for right now no more kick boxing for me. Just Zumba Step class Spinning and Rep Reebox.

I have good restriction I am at 8.5 I mean good restriction I can only eat a cup per meal. I chose my food wisely. I eat 1 scramble egg and cheese for breakfast  Lunch is salmon and veggie if I can and I eat turkey chili for dinner I am having acid reflux issues so I have to be very careful.

You have done great. Don't let depression get you, because you have a lot to smile and be happy about. We are all looking up to u. You really rock.

water aerobics is something I do with my work out routines during the week on Wednesday, I actually replaced my kick boxing class with it and I have seen results. I work out about 2 hours a day 5 days a week. I went for a fill today but I was not able to get once becasue I had lost 9 pounds and the Dr said I didn't need one even though I wanted one. The keep to the band in the beginning is you have to help it along the way or you will feel defeated. I can't stomach the protein drinks so I eat my protein. I read alot of post and what I have concluded is that we all are different what works for you may not work for me, it goes the same each way. My band is tighter in the mornings. but during the evenings I am ok.

You go girl you really look nice. I know you are excited about your new look I can see it in your glow.

Can someone please tell me what does Sweet Spot mean?

I didn't but  the throught crossed my mind. I was afraid I would mess something up. Hang in there you are going through the hell stage it gets better sooner than later.

I felt this way too. I was happy sad scared nervous fearful and excited all in one up until I was rolled into surgery and given the medication to put me to sleep. I did let them know I was very scared. I pray because I believe God was in control and he was not going to give up on me. I had faith and I just trusted God. You will be fine. These are normal thoughts

No I think it's right before there when you eat something and it feels stuck and juices start forming in your mouth something of that sort. U feel sick on your stomach too.

What a wonderful friendship. People are placed in our lives for different reasons and you both were looking you found a real Gem Stone.
