Congrats, it sounds like you did great. It is so nice to hear the good stories right now. I am having my Sleeve Gastrectomy tomorrow 1/26/12 and I have to say, I am nervous. Good luck on your journey.
Topic: Surgery Tomorrow- Jan. 26th, 2012
Well, my surgery is tomorrow. I am having the Sleeve Gastrectomy with Dr. T. Ryan Heider in Mooresville, NC. I have to say I work with him and bariatric patients everyday and I am so nervous. I do not even know why. I am guessing this is just normal. I have to say I am proud of myself for losing 28 pounds on my pre-op diet, so that is one plus going into this. I wish everyone that is having surgery tomorrow luck also. I will keep everyone posted.

Better and better each day. I am getting the drain out in the morning. I am getting very emotional. I dont know why, I dont miss eating at the moment, I am looking forward to start going to the gym on wednesday now that the drain will be out. I can do the treadmill and bikes. It snowed here so I was not able to walk as much as I would have like, I am down about 7lbs

Maybe you could try Lactaid milk, soy or almond milk. I use the Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds tape. You can do very low impact and work your way up. Maybe your local library or Blockbuster has some that you can try.

Not too long now! I had my original surgery in 2004 and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. My whole life changed. Be sure to take advantage of all the great advise and experiences here on OH.

What are you allowed post-surgery? Can you have protein shakes? I find I have fleeting cravings for regular food, but I know I will eventually be able to eat. This will pass, just hang in there!
