Thanks for the support. Maybe we can connect when I am up in KC for one of my appointments. You are doing great!!

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.

Just checking in with you. Lots of emotions right now. Today is pretty good, but a couple days ago I was wondering what the heck I'm doing! Wednesday better get here soon or I will have talked myself out of this!! When are you think you are going to come by Heartland? My husband will drive back up to get me on Wednesday after work so I will probably be there until Wednesday eve until 7:00ish

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

I see you had surgery on Tuesday. I had mine on Wednesday. All went pretty well with the exception of some major gas pain when I laid my bed back. Let's stay in touch! Renee

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.

Hey Thin....I am finally sleeved. Am feeling good and on my way to a better life!! Thanks for sharing you experience with me. I truly appreciate all your words of wisdom!

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?

I think you are doing great - you're down 28 pounds! That's awesome. I'm doing okay. Still need to get more exercise as I have a desk job and find at the end of the day I'm tired! I know I need to push myself and hope to get walking this next week. I'm tracking my food and sometimes am lacking in protein and water so that is another area I need to work on.

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?

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

Have been thinking about you. Hope all is going well with your new sleeve! I'm still trying to re-schedule!

I rescheduled my surgery - April 13. Just hoping I don't catch a cold between now and then! Husband is coming down with something and I'm spraying Lysol everywhere. I see you are down 150! That is amazing. You must be so proud of yourself. Congratulations!!!

Have to be there at 6:00 a.m. - surgery at 7:30....

Saw you just had surgery. I had mine on April 13. Hope you are feeling better with each passing day! I am going to add you as a friend so we can stay in touch. Renee

Hope you are feeling better soon!

Sooo good to hear from you. How are you doing???

You are doing great!! You must be sooo proud of yourself. Congratulations Girl!!

Thurs around 10:00 is good. I didn't want to miss you! It will be great to meet you! Klalfin13 (Natalie) is having surgery the same day as me - 1/2 hour later with Dr. Hoehn. (It must not take long to cut out 2/3 of a stomach! Hee Hee. Thanks for all your support!! Renee

Hey! You look fantastic!!! I'm not sure I would have recognized you --- you look so much younger!! Way to go girl! You must be so proud of yourself. I have not been following the rules and have unfortunately been eating pretty much whatever I want. I have got to get back on track....I have to reschedule my 6 month appointment until November as I have some training at work that I couldn't miss

Jennifer - I can tell from your picture you are doing great!!

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 see you are having surgery this month. I'm scheduled for April 13. Let's stay in touch. It will be good to share experiences and be support for each other! Renee

I saw your post about your upcoming surgery. I am scheduled for April 13 in Kansas City. It looks like we will be starting out about the same weight (still wondering how I got to 330???). I start my two week liquid diet on Wednesday. Let's stay in touch. It will be good to support each other!
