Hi Hailey, http://www.bariatrax.com/signup.asp has a tracker but you have to pay $30 for a 1-year subscription. I am awaiting insurance approval for laproscopic gastric bypass surgery so I'm afraid I don't have any answers for you on what your suggested intakes are. Congrats on the weight loss so far, and keep up the great work! Francesca

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery! I will be praying for you, and I know you will come through surgery with flying colors. Pretty soon, you will be a big ol’ loser!! I’m not going to tell you that the first few weeks after surgery will be a bed of roses because it was pretty bad for me. I had lap RNY surgery on 5/24/05. But today, I feel fine and the only thing that I regret is that I didn’t have surgery in 2004 when I first started researching it. So, if you find that you’re having a hard time coping right after surgery, please know that it DOES get better. Don’t ever hesitate to email me if there is anything I can do for you – even if you just need a pep talk! So here’s to you… may you have a successful surgery, improved health, energy galore, many “wow moments”, and fabulous before-and-after pics! God bless! Hugs, Tracy

This is to put everything under control in its widest sense. --- May God keep you close to his side as you travel your new journey. You will have ups and downs. You can always turn to us, your AMOS family, we will give support, comfort and encouragement. You will find this will be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself as well as your family.

Hi Hailey, I had my surgery 1-30-06 at South San Francisco Kaiser in California. My doctor states at least 2 weeks for light duty jobs. But heavy duty jobs or if you have any issues with the surgery they extend it. I'm at social workerr and activity director for a skilled nursing and after having my staples taking out yesterday i asked to have 6 weeks and no problem I got it. I just want ot make sure I will be able to eat solid food and have my energy level back before trying to go back and overdo it. But every case is different I would see how you feel. And communicate with your surgeon through out the healing process. Good luck.......Suzan Gabin
