 |  OK all you Kentucky "Losers"
Let's get some dialog stated. I'll start....I live in Central Kentucky. I had my Gastric Bypass on 7/26/10. My first weigh-in I lost 10lbs. I am walking 10min in the morning/lunch and 15min after supper. The protein shakes are starting to suck  but a necessary evil. I buy the 3oz protein shots at Walmart and I get the drink down. I just added tomato's to my list of items that I get to eat. I can't wait to add the fruits. I have been pleasantly surprised that I get full quickly. Anyone out there have any special advice for a newbie?

Nothing earthshaking, I'm afraid. Just follow the rules and give your body the conditions it needs to lose weight and get healthy. It knows what to do from there. Be patient, though, because it's going to do it on its own time schedule, not yours.
I've never lived in Kentucky (lived across the river from it in Indiana for a few years, though), but I've driven through it a number of times. Beautiful country!!!
Welcome to the family!!

Welcome Tiger! Where in Central KY? Where did you have your surgery? I'm a Ky gal myself. I've not got any real good advice either. Just hang in there, and you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish!

You're going to have ups and downs. That's just part of the whole process. But as long as you keep working and stay focused, you can accomplish anything. And yes, being able to fly WITHOUT asking for that extender is a very liberating experience! You'll be there sooner than you think.
Welcome to the boards... if you ever want to chat, you know where to find me!

Hey ya'll. I live in Fort Campbell (on the ARMY post) which is right on the Ky/Tn border, but I was born and raised in Louisville, Ky. I had my surgery here on post at Blanchfield Army Hostpital. I had a fabulous surgeon and we have a wonder support group here. I am almost 6 months out. My only advice is go slow when trying new things. Especially meats. I had a heck of a time, and still do. Chew chew chew. I set an alarm on my cell phone to remind me to eat so I get in my 5 meals a day, that is my best piece of advice right there.

You should visit Ky sometime. I love it (except it is HOT right now).
