Hey Deb!

I finally had to register again as this new format did not like me and would not let me post! Anyway --- OMG I see you have lost 96 lbs. You are doing great!! So glad you are having so much success! I finally got the call from Dr. Hoehn to schedule - now just need to figure out when I can schedule with my new job. I'm beginning to think it will n...

Hey Kathy. I had to re-join as the new format would not let me sign in and post! Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I finally have my date - December 22. I'm excited, nervous and am not sure what else??? Just hoping I can follow thru.

Hi Deb,

Thanks for checking in with me. You are doing awesome!! A size 14 and in onederland!!! You must be so proud of yourself...I am so happy for you! I have managed to gain back most of the 20 plus pounds lost on my presurgery diet....guess that is why we need the surgery....to save ourselves from gaining it back!!!

Hi Deb! I finally have a date - Dec. 22. I tried to send you a message and not sure it went thru so am trying again. Anyway, just wanted to share my news with you. I am excited, scared, nervous and not sure what??? Hope I can follow thru! You are doing great! Am so happy for you.

How's the preop diet going. I am struggling, but hanging in there. I'm hoping it's gets easier after another day or two. Right now I just something with some real flavor. I actually chewed up a couple chips with salsa and spit them out (didn't swallow) just so I could taste them. Was kinda gross, but it seemed to satisfy me....Hope you are hanging in there. Only 12 more days.

Renee

Saw you had surgery a couple weeks ago. I'm scheduled for April 13. Let's stay in touch. It will be good to share experiences, etc. Hope all is going well for you.

Renee

Am struggling thru my pre-op diet but doing okay. I have come down with a bad cold. Hoping they will still do surgery on Wednesday!

As for what I'm eating --- I'm still drinking my Protidiet Hot Cocoa in the AM - that is the only supplement I have been doing. I'm eating cottage cheese, greek yogurt with fruit, refried beans, hamb and shredded cheese (inside of taco minus the lettuce), rotissuire chicken with ranch dressing to dip (needs to be moist), I'm thinking about trying some watermelon. What about you?

Can't believe you are one week out and back to work! Glad you are feeling well. I am scheduled for Wed. April 13 and only have a little than a week off work so glad to hear it is do-able.

Checking in on you. How are you doing?

Congratulations on your first 40 pounds! That is amazing. Glad to hear your drain is out and it wasn't too bad. Hang in there - I'm thinking you will feel better every day, especially as that scale goes down! How much are you hoping to loss? Not that it matters, cuz anything we can lose is awesome! I would like to lose about 165 pounds. Sounds a bit overwhelming! Take care & stay in touch.

Correction - I will be there until Thursday eve until 7ish. (Assuming all goes well and they let me leave!)

Deb - I'm down 40 pounds! Can't Believe It!!! Not really hungry - just need to drink more and get in more walking!! How are you??

Deb - Just checking on you.....How are you girl? I'm struggling....unfortunately I have found that I can eat pretty much anything and don't have much restriction! I am trying to re-focus and get back on meat, eggs, cheese and stay away from those damn carbs!

Deb.....are you there?? Are you still having computer troubles?????

Dr. Hoehn did my surgery on April 13 so I am 4 days post op. No problems with surgery and I have not had any problems with his office. I have been told by several people that he is a really good surgeon. Renee

Glad to hear that.....as I"m already thinking about when I can have normal food!! I go to the doctor tomorrow to get my staples out and I should get the okay to move on to some regular foods...scrambled egg, tuna or chicken w/mayo, refried beans, sf yogurt, cottage cheese, sf pudding. I'm ready!!! Pretty tired of broth and sf jello.

Glad to hear you are cleared for all exercise, but....I meant - Did you have to do a cardio clearance before your surgery?

Glad to hear you are getting along well. I had my 1 week checkup and everything looks good. Dr. told me he would see me in 2 months and I would be a whole lot skinner! Sounds good to me. I have started on some sort solids and seem to be doing well. Back to work yesterday and survived, but it was a long day!

Glad you added me as a friend. I see your surgery is on Monday. Good Luck. I hope your experience will be as good as mine as surgery was a breeze. Take care and stay in touch!

Good luck on your Surgery tomorrow. I'm scheduled for April 13.
