Patti T. got a reaction from tkauhi in February 2014 post op losers
Hi Guys,
I totally understand where you are coming from regarding the head hunger. I am only one week out and I am starting to think about food ALOT!. I'm too scared to stray from my diet at this point, afraid it will hurt and all that. I find myself watching food network way more than I ever used to.
I am determined to be strong though.

Patti T. got a reaction from Cookiesgotthis in February Surgeries
Hi Claire and everyone,
Well I had my surgery Feb 20th @1200 as scheduled and was just released home today. The first six hrs postop were a bear as I felt like i swallowed a giant gas bubble that wouldn't let up. Thank God for the PCA drip. Got walking my first night and that really seemed to help. The best advice I can give for the first few days is walk, walk, walk. Even when you don't feel like it. I am now transitioning from clears to full liquids, drinking my first Protein Shake as I type. Hope everything is going well for everyone. I will have to catch on reading the messages on this board.

Patti T. got a reaction from marcey in Walter Reed National Military Medical Center
Hi Marcey,
All had to do is tell my PCM about how I've repeatedly tried and failed at weight watchers and the adkins diet and she put in a referral for me. The hoop jumping came after going to orientation last Sept. I finished the pre-op checklist last Nov, got in for a consult with a surgeon in Dec and am scheduled for RNY Feb 20th. There is a whole bunch of info on Walter Reed's Bariatric web page as well. I think that most of the material they pass out in the orientation class is on the page.
