Topic: RE: "The One Ring" Jan 6 - 8 more days!

Hi Cindie:
I knew I forgot to do something today! I needed to get a measuring tape. My daughter took all my sewing stuff when she went to college:

Considering that I did a lot of prep shopping today (gas-x strips, etc) it's not so bad that I forgot one thing.

I'm not nervous about the surgery, but I haven't made a will in all these years (which is stupid) although I have no reason to be concerned - and I really don't feel like this is a terrible risk even though I signed my initials acknowledging all the possible complications. I guess that my health is ok so I don't worry about it.

I worry more about the recovery period - how slow/quick, since I need to get back to work.

Joan, Just keep on trying. You can do it. It will be worth it in the end.

Cindy, don't feel guilty about not telling people. I haven't told many people either. I don't want to hear all the negative. Now, after I have surgery and start losing I suspect people will ask questions and I may tell them at that time and then I may not. Just depends on who it is and how they asked. It is your decision and your choice.

Hi Jenn, Thanks for taking the time and writing this, it helped alot. I got very sick the day after Christmas so the last few days I could eat solids were lost from being sick. Monday started my official liquid diet day (so far so good) just felt down because I did not get to eat a steak, chinese or seafood like I planned. After reading your post I feel so much better! no big deal...one day, in moderation and maybe I won't even want those things! Sending you a BIG{{{HUG}}} I will be thinking of you & Saying Prayers come Jan. 6th. Your Friend, Robin

cindy......girl.......i have a fatty liver too!!!!! if i were you, and this is only a suggestion.......my dr has me on 2 protein shakes a day and one low carb, low fat meal. don't take ANY Advil or anything like that, don't drink any alcohol (not sure if you do to start with) not sure if you take any medication for diabetes or not but my PC dr changed my medication due to the fact that the one i was on effected my liver. all this plays a part in shrinking your liver. im very surprised your dr didn't suggest this to you before now since you do have a fatty liver. like i said this is just a suggestion, id hate for you to go thru all this only to have them say oops sorry your liver was too large we couldn't do the band. dr jawad told me that he had done this in the past. i know every dr is different but...................... please if someone else is reading this and disagrees with me or has something else to add thats different please please let us know. anyway cindy, we are here for you. what would we do without our OH family???? id be crazy right now.....well crazier

Topic: RE: Hello! I have a January surgery!

Hi Ruthann! My date is the same day! I am in mn and having my lap rny in Sioux Falls, SD. I had my boot camp today. I am sooo excited and nervous at the same time, too. I only have to do the liquid diet the day before surgery--what about you? I will be thinking of you on Jan 5th. My surgery is at 1pm so I am hoping it all goes smoothly so my hubby can be home by dinner to let my boys know mom is okay. We will soon be on the losers bench together. We have 6 days left! Welcome and I hope we can chat and keep up with each other. GOOD LUCK!

Good for you!
I started my preop shakes/liquids today, and ended up cheating at the end of the day. Oh well - tomorrow is another day!
But I will keep stepping on the scale and trying again!
