  1. Happy 43rd Birthday rachnesa!

  2. hi thanks for the comment...i agree with thinking of the band as only a tool to help you. start before surgery with eating the way you will after surgery. Also start exercising and continue after surgery. You only have to start with 5-10 mins a day, and work up to more time.

  3. Thank you for your comments. I would say the secret to my success is following the rules that my doctor gave me. Three small meals and 30 mins exercise very day. My doc also told me that to think of the band as a TOOL not a solution. :)

  4. Hi! thanksfor responding. will do. I 'll be patient what kind of things should I have in my pantry. I went out to day and bought the non0fat dry milk, A CASE of boost and couple of cases of water. I also have Whey protein powders in choc and vanilla. Only think I dont have is a HEATING PAD. Thanks on the advice on keeping a journal. I can't wait to exercise more. :)

  5. Hi Rachel! Congrats on your surgery date. My advise is to be patient, do what the doc tells you do to. Have a heating pad, body pillow, and your pantry stocked. Let your body recover. Don't push yourself too fast and keep a journal!

     

    I wish you well, keep in contact I want to hear of your process!

  6. wow you look great! can I ask what is your secret? My surgery is July 31st 09- I weight 345 and have a LONG way to go. How did you lose so much weight so fast??Racnesa, (Ill)

  7. My surgery is July 31. My doc said 3-5 days off. I am scheduled 5 days off only. I hope and pray I'll be ok:ohmy:

  11. Hi all ! any advice? will this work for me? the liquid diet was hard in the beginning. I bought some Whey protein powders and boost really keeps me filled up? any other ideas????????????? I'm getting nervous:blushing:
  12. Hi all: My name is Sumom(alias). I am 39 years old and am having my surgery done at Rush in Illinois next Friday. I'm a bit nervous. Is this really going to work? I weigh over 325 and and have been on the liquid diet for 8 days now. I'm ok now. My sister had it done, she's doing ok and she works alot. I'm wondering how long with diet and excerise how long will it take to see a huge difference? Dr Jonathan Meyers is my Surgeon. He is awesome. Got me approved in just 6 monthsincluding the 3 mos of nutrition classes.As soon as I learn how, I will down load some pics. Any advice?:biggrin::tongue2:
  13. Hi Sara! Hi all! I'm having my surgery on July 31 by Dr Meyers at Rush. I'm nervous but excited. I know my sister had hers done at Alexian Bros and she throws up alot. Any advice???/
