    Pre Op HELP!!!

    For the weight watchers part of this, make a copy of your weigh in book. It will have the date, your weight, any loss or gain. That seems like what they are looking for on that. For your Doctor, I know on the paperwork I always receive after a visit, it states anything discussed, weight, meds I am on, etc. Hopefully your Dr is putting detailed notes on your file too. I am looking at March for my surgery too. Good luck!!!!
  3. Good morning. If you have already had surgery, was there anything you did ahead of time (like during the 6 month weigh ins) to prepare yourself for the surgery? Or, is there something that you wish you had did that you think would have made things easier for you? I ask this because i am wondering, would it be good as I get closer to only have 1 meal per day and drink shakes the other 2 meals to make it easier for the 2 week pre-op liquid diet?
  4. I will say this.....I think I found one of the things that is going to be very hard to get used to. Not drinking while I eat. I decided let me start paying attention to this. OMG I am so used to drinking, even if just a few sips, while I eat and right after.
  5. I think one of the big things I am going to have to get used to will be not drinking while I eat. I'm already using MFP and started getting my carbs down, having a hard time with protein up but getting there.

    Pittsburgh Pa

    Reviving this thread in case there are others in the Pittsburgh area getting ready for surgery. I live north of Pgh, but work in Blawnox. I will be having my surgery at Butler with Dr. Gagne.

    Eating on the road (Travel)

    Hi there. My husband is a road warrior too, so I am familiar with the lifestyle and challenges you are facing. Do you get per diem or are you expensing only a certain amount? Do you always get a fridge in your room? If not, call ahead and tell them you need one for medicine. Do you rent a car once you are where you need to go? If so, stop at the store on your way to the hotel. How long are you at each job? My hubby can be places for about a month depending on whether it's an outage or something quick. A lot of hotels now have grills, so that's something to think about in you could cook a bunch of food and put it in the fridge. What about a small crockpot? My husband sometimes will buy a cheap one and leave it for the hotel. Good luck to you.

    How fast can I bounce back?

    I asked my Dr. last night about this. He said the average time that his patients go back to work is 10 days.
