Hi Deb! How are you? I'm doing okay...sort of slowed down on my weight loss. I need to start exercising, but have been working too many hours and taking an online class so am just sitting on my butt!

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??

Just checking in on you. How are you getting along? I see your ticker says you have lost 52 pounds...that is awesome! You are doing great. We had surgery about the same time and am moving along about the same pace. Is any of loss due to pre-op diet? I'm feeling like I can eat more lately and need to cut back, as well as get my butt moving. Working too much and taking an online class.

LOVE your new picture! You look amazing! Congratulations on your success! Renee

Hi Deb. I went to see Dr. H yesterday. I'm doing fine. Got my staples out (which feels much better). I am to go back in two months. (He told me I would be down a bunch when he sees me next!) I lost 4 more pounds so counting my preop loss I am down 26 pounds. I'm still sore, but actually had an egg and some cottage cheese yesterday. Woo Hoo!! Renee

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!

What is the leak to your blog. I can't find it....

Just checking in. How are you?? I am struggling to stay away from the carbs.......need to get refocused!!!! Any words of wisdom for me?

Just checking it on you. How are you feeling? I am amazed that at 8 days Postop I feel pretty good. Got my staples out yesterday, Including Preop loss I am down 26 pounds. Woo Hoo!

Not sure. I have had a small piece of SF Hersey Bar and did fine as I just let it melt in my mouth. I'm trying to stay away from protein bars due to the carbs but have wondered about them too.

Thanks for your support Kimmes! I am really struggling....Congratulations on your success and being so focused. I have got to get back on this site and get myself focused!!! Life has been really stressful and I have turned to my old standby - food.

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...

Hi Deb. Thanks for checking on me. I am starting the 2 week preop diet on Wednesday so am gearing up for that! April 13 will be here before I know it. Hope all is well with you. Hopefully we can connect when I'm up in KC. Stay in touch. Renee

Just wanted to say hey. I joined the board about the same time you had your surgery. You are doing great - almost 90 pounds gone! Keep up the good work. You must be so proud of yourself and feel soooo much better. I am rescheduled for surgery on April 13.

Jennifer, you are doing great!!!

On the Count Down - 3 days til Surgery...Yikes!!!

I also am scheduled for April 13 with Dr. Hoehn. We will be sleeve sisters!

I don't have a preop with Dr. I was scheduled for surgery in December, showed up at the hospital the morning of surgery and they sent me home due to a really bad cold and chest congestion. They told me They did not require a preop with Dr. since I had already done that in December. I may call and ask to see him as I will be in KC on Wed afternoon, the 6th, to have blood work done at Heartland.

ust wanted to let you know they canceled my surgery yesterday. I showed up, they had me in my hospital gown and support hose, ready to give me pills for surgery when the Anethesia person came to check me and sent me home. I have a cold and he felt my lung congestion and cough would not allow them to administer anethesia properly and thus increased risk. So....back to the drawing board.

Hey Natalie. I know what you mean about being nervous. I am pretty good today, but a few days ago I was wondering what the heck I'm doing?? Lots of emotions right now. I have really had a hard time staying on my preop diet. For the most part I have done very well, but did fall off a couple times last week. Have you lost anything preop on this crazy liquid diet?? See ya Wednesday!

Good Luck on your surgery! I'm scheduled for the 13th. Let's stay in touch.

Renee

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

Good luck tomorrow. I'm sending you good vibes for a speedy recovery! I'm scheduled for April 13.

Just looking back on old post and saw where you wrote about getting the foamies when you eat veggies. Are you still having trouble with veggies? Just trying to figure it all out. Congratulations on your success! You are doing great!!! Renee
