I used to weigh myself nearly every morning while on a diet and never while not on a diet. I am currently weighing myself on Monday's just because and on Thursdays since that was my surgery date. What is you all's experience. Is that too often or too seldom?

Yes McKenzie, what happened when you weighed in?

If I have fill outside TJ with Floroscopy will they make sure everything is ok in there or do they just do the fill and that is it?

I am thinking I will rent a car and drive to border. Park and walk across, get taxi to and from.

I'll be going in June but not until the 21st or so. I am thinking about braving the bus/trolley/taxi route

add two more 30 minute walks for me

Where dp you get Biotin?

Hey guys hope you are all doing well. Sorry you and Jenn are sick Brenda. It's really hard to be sick when there are only certain things that you can have to feel better. I can hardly believe we are 10 days out. I feel no pain at all today for the very first time. I am enjoying my creamy soups (especially creamy potatoe). I can't wait until I am far enough out to have a good soak in the tub but I don't want to do anything to jeopardize my incisions they are all healing really well and once the bandaid goo is gone I think they are going to be barely noticeable. Blessings!

Awesome Lisa!!!!

Looking great Kimmie and your weight loss is great as well. Keep up the good work Blessings!

I have compared the Flinstone and they do have everything you need. If you take two of them you actually get too much iron and some overages in other areas as well so be careful.

Looking great Michelle, how is the restriction now the unfill?

I love the idea and would like to be a part of it. But the schedule of the other groups weekend was really full. I would be more for some key note speakers and some fun, free time. I'm not one for enjoying sitting for hours and hours in meetings and it cost more if you have alot of speakers to pay.

Lisa, I have the opposite problem and think I need to have more fruit juice undiluted to see if I can get regular but I don't want to go your direction either. I am still having alot of problems with painful (burps or hicups) I can't tell which. I don't think it has anything to do with what I am or am not drinking because I get them when I drink and I get them when I wake up before I have had anything. Does anyone else have this and if so how long after surgery did it hurt?

Please add another 3 walking times for me

Denise, Which center in Colorado? I am in Colorado and looking for alternative to having to go back to TJ every time?

The OCC is very close to the border, but the airport is actually quite a ways from the border. They pick you up in a van and the drive to the OCC is about 30 minutes or more depending on traffic. The new hotel is much closer to OCC but doesn't look like much from the outside. We stayed at Lucerna last week and it was nice on the outside and Super 8 Motelish in the rooms.

Mine says 10 cm but I was told it will hold 4cc of fluid.

Thanks Michelle. I wish they would put this is the technical help area because it comes up a lot

Awesome, looking forward to seeing how it goes for all of you. Are you using OCC transport or public transport? Can't wait to see the pics.

I honestly worried about the same thing but my experience so far is that no one really pays attention to what you are or aren't eating if you don't bring attention to it. Most people are to busy shoveling in their own food to worry about what is on your plate. When you can pick the restaurant I pick one that I know has soup I like. If you are 9 days you can have creamy soups to so that helps. Whatever you do don't cheat. It is not worth the risk. Blessings!

Hey if anyone knows how to get the star with weight on it can you post?

Bump, we still need people to join if we are going to chat.

I can relate Alana. I am feeling relatively good but I notice that I start downhill in the pm. I just think we have to remember we did have major surgery and we need more rest than usually. I find if I lay down for about an hour when I get home from work, then I am good to go for the rest of the evening but I am getting to bed pretty early also. Blessings!

Actually you might want to get that letter and have it not only signed but notarized. My teens went down with a mission group this past year and they had to have a letter from each parent stating permission for them to cross the border on the way back into the US.
