I am 7 weeks post op and haven't posted in awhile.  My NUT wants me to be at 90/90 and I focused so much on getting 90 protein, increasing my meals from 1 ounce to 2 ounces per meal and all the other pieces that I let my water drop down under 30 oz....

hi all- I have searched and can't find it.  Where did you all find the banner/ticker that records your start/ goal.....and then some of you have info on there as well.  I'd like to start that sometime. Can you help?  Thanks!

Hello fellow sleevers- I am one week post op and so far no medical people have asked me my goal weight.  I had planned to shrug and say "it's up to God".  But it is encouraging to see so many of you hitting your goal weight...so I am that noting I shou

I had surgery yesterday about 4 pm. 30 minute procedure and my doc has us stay one night in the hospital to be sure we are hydrated (better chance to not be dehydrated since we didn't drink anything the day before and our tummies may not like anything

i have never had surgery or been hospitalized so it's all one big unknown....but I trust my surgeon and I trust the process and once I am through the surgery I will keep saying to myself "This too shall pass".  So I think I am ready to go.  I show up @
