Topic: RE: What are you doing to prepare?

Candy, First of all , let me congratulate you on your date. Now to answer your question. I have always started drinking my protein shakes. I am working up to 70 grams of protein daily. I also working on drinking my water about 70 oz. per day, Cleaning the house and clearing out the closet. The only thing I have not done is start my exercising. I need to do that 45 mins to 1 hour per day. These things (minus the house cleaning and the clearing out the closet) will help you heal a lot quicker with less complications. Kim

Topic: What are you doing to prepare?

Hi -- would love to hear what you are doing to prepare for surgery? Special pre-surgical diet? Getting house / foods ready for when you get home? You know stuff like that? Look forward to hearing from you! Thanks, Candy

Topic: RE: Who had Dr. Nagle @ Northwestern??

Kristi: We have the same date as you remember. I was put on a strictly liquid by my doctor until August 1st. IT IS SO DIFFICULT...because I am hungry! When you have a hubby and kids, it makes it that much harder! They are so good to eat things that don't fill the house with yummy odors! lol Anyway, it is tough...but my surgeon requires it...so I have to do it. I want to succeed post surgery so this will help my mindset!

That is not strange at all - I am right there with you and the carbs! that will be the hardest part for me as well. I have my final appointment with the nutritionist this afternoon, so I am sure we will discuss that and making better choices! This ride is only going to get better from here - I can just feel it!!

I know the feeling! My first consult was back in June of last year and it has been an emotional ride since then! I am right before you on the 1st! Good luck to us both and I will see you on the losing side
