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

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

Hi Dee Dee. I got a friend request from you. Hope you are doing well. I see you are from Kansas City. I'm from Topeka. Have you had your surgery yet?

Hi Tiff - I had to rejoin as I could not sign in under the new format. Anyway, just wanted to let you know I finally have my new date. Dec 22. I'm excited, scared, nervous, and I don't know what else. Just hope I can follow thru! I have been stressed and eating out of control lately. Tomorrow is protein shakes and one healthy meal. That's the plan - just hope I can stick with it.

Hope you are doing okay. I'm not having any trouble getting my liquids in. Trying not to take pain medicine - except for at night to help me sleep better.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

Hope you are feeling better. Walk and move - I hear that really helps with those nasty gas pains. (I'm preop so no real experience to share with you.) Just wanted you to know I'm sending good vibes your way and hoping you are feeling better!

How about those Chiefs!!

How are you doing Lillie? I finally have my surgery date - Dec 22! I'm excited, scared, nervous and not sure what else!

How are you doing? I wish I didn't have to cook for my family. Sure makes it tough. My stomach is growling.....I'm hungry! Not much longer though.

How are you doing? We are sleeve sisters. I saw you were sleeved on April 13. Me too! Let's stay in touch and be encouragement for each other!

How did the Adkins bar go?

How's it going? Just thought I check on you to see how your journey back to real food is going. So far so good for me - haven't puked yet anyway!! I've tried a scrambled egg, cottage cheese, deli turkey with small amount of cream cheese rolled up, and refried beans so far. I'm going to make deviled eggs for easter so that will be my next adventure! Hope all is going well for you. Renee

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

I am already thinking about what I can eat on Wednesday.... It will be good to see if I have lost any more weight. I sure hope so!!

I am eating about 1/4 cup or 2 oz at a time. Takes me about 20 min to each my meal. Sounds like maybe your tummy is still pretty swollen. I go back to work on Monday. Not sure I'm ready for that as my tummy is still sore.

I am trying to figure out when I will have enough sick/vacation days accumulated so I can have the surgery. I thinking it may not be until around Memorial Day in May, but am not sure yet. Take care and stay in touch.

I did have the top of some pizza the other night too! So far so good.

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.

I finally have a date - Dec 22! Am excited, nervous and not sure what else......It has taken so long to get thru all the preop stuff and then I started a new job so I had to put it off. Anway, just wanted to let you know. (I'm wannabethin but had to rejoin as I could not sign in after the website change - so now am wannabethinn!) Hope you are doing well. Renee

I have got to get back on track!! I need a kick in the ass! I have pretty much been eating whatever I want.....

I just wanted to say Hi and see how you are doing. We started at about the same weight and you had your surgery about 1 month before mine as I was sleeved on April 13. I also have three handsome boys, ages 15, 18 and 21. If you have any words of wisdom, I'd love to hear them! Renee

I read somewhere not to worry so much about protein the first week, just stay hydrated. I have been drinking water, crystal light, hot herbal tea and trying to get a little protein in with Protidiet Hot Cocoa and Premier Choc Shake. Hang in there - I'm sure every day will get a little easier. I have an appointment with Dr. Hoehn on Wednesday at 1:30. When do you do in?
