thank you to all who responded to my thread its great to see people who realize share and live my dreams as well as your own i wish you all the same success that ive had or better and keep fighting

congrats bigpapa you had your surgery 8 days before me i lost counted in my total the preop diet also but at surgery i was 304 im now 227 and ive hit a plateau, i also havent had a fill yet either so i guess im lucky there keep up the good work and ive had steady weight loss nothing fantastic just 5-6 lbs a weekl

do what i used to do and place a 2x4 under your head board also use an extra pillow try not to dat or drink anything 2 hrs before bed hope this helps been there fixed that

im just curious as to what multi vitamins are the various drs recomending

when you say cheat do you mean like a cheesesteak 5 days before surgery lol i did that and i still got operated on i think it depends on how fat your liver is he wont know till he gets in there dont say a word just dont cheat anymore

i do rapid toe raises or bounces whatever you want to call them it seems to just shake things up enough to get them to move good luck

sounds like he is checking your insurance benefits not on you
