Congratulations on your upcoming surgery-you will do great! Happy New Year! Carol

I just put it on my bra and go for it. Mine is bluetooth and set up quick on the computer. You don't have to set your steps-it automatically does it for you-easier to use. I have tried others and I didn't like them this works great for me. Check out the fitbit zip on it's online site. Carol

I use a Pedometer when I walk not only tells me how many steps/miles it also downloads to my computer so I can keep track on there with it. I have a fitbit zip. It's cute and works well. Snow and Ice-I walk inside walmart or another store. You can also walk the indoor Malls-but, I am a night...

Sometimes you have to go through a few before you find one that you like after surgery. Tastes have a habit of changing after surgery. Everyone's tastes are different. Carol

I will be glad once I can have chili in my diet stage. Putting low fat cheese and low fat sour cream with it to add to the protein sounds good. Heck even fat free refried beans sound good now. Carol

Congratulations! I just had Gastric bypass Lap-done via DaVinci on Monday 12/17/12 and was discharged from the hospital that Friday. Still on liquids. I go for my first post-op visit with my surgeon on Jan 3rd at which time they will up my diet. I could pretty much mug for Fat Free Refried Beans...

Congratulations!! Carol

I have an indoor exercycle-can pedal in any weather. :) Right now I have to take it easy as I just had my surgery so I soft pedal. I do 15 minutes twice a day. Too cold to get outside and walk right now. Hubby takes me to walmart to walk around. I have my Fitbit Zip to keep track of my steps...

I will be glad when I get to the stage you have for foods-I am still on the clear liquid except for the skim milk and protein drinks. I won't change until Jan 3rd when my first post-op visit is. I think it is further out for the salad-some people can't eat lettuce even far out. My sister had...

I had my surgery on 12/17/12 and was discharged on that Friday. The doctor had to take out my Gall Bladder as well due to the Gall stones they found on the Ultrasound. Mine was done-Lap via DaVinci. My foley was taken out the next day after surgery as I had plenty of output and my JP Drain was...

Yep, I find it hard to get the total amount of fluids that one is supposed to get in. I found that the SF Carnation Instant breakfast-chocolate does not do good things to my tummy and it cleans me out-so chocolate anything is out of the question. They say you're supposed to try for 5 oz per...

We have a good one here in Albany at Albany Medical Center. It's at the South clinical Campus-Monday at 11 am and every other thursday 5:30p-7:30p. Carol

They took me off my diabetic meds before I left the hospital. My sugars have been running 80-100 since I got home. Doing good. Less pills to take. Carol

I just had my RNY on Monday Dec 17th and was discharged on Friday. They also took out my Gall bladder due to the gallstones thay saw on the Ultrasound the week before. On the Liquid diet until my first post-op visit on Jan 3rd with my Surgeon and Dietician. Carol

Congratulations!!! It is always great getting it out and it feels weird coming out. Carol

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! Carol

Had my surgery on the 17th. It wasn't an open Gastric bypass-mine was done lap via Davinci. I was discharged Friday and my JP Drain was taken out then as well. I have no staples. My 4 areas of entrance have a special clear thing on them The only stitiches are at my belly button area another area...

Sorry to hear about your rescheduling due to weather. Have a happy New year!!! Carol

Congratulations on your surgery, Sunshine-you had yours the same day as mine. I hope you are doing well. Remember to sip, sip, sip-get those fluids in to keep from getting dehydrated!! Rest and also get a bit of walking in when you can. Speedy Recovery to you! Carol

Congratulations on your surgery date!! It is normal to feel that way. Just follow your Team's instructions and all will be fine. Remember they are there for you-ask them any questions you have. You can do it!! Carol
