Topic: RE: Hello from September 2005 board!
Linda thank you so much for taking the time to post on our board. I love to hear success stories. I can't wait until the day my back, legs, kness, and feet don't hurt anymore. I used to love to shop, but now I can't be on my feet for long. It seems like I can't do much without a struggle lately. I just want that to go away so bad. But, I am having surgery on Sept. 20th!!!! I can't wait. I am ready to live free again.

Good luck all, if you do anything like I did it really will be a breeze. Hang in there... I know how nervous I was in those few days before. Just remember the long term goal, what will we all be next Sept? Healthy, strong and feeling better then we ever have.
Good luck!

Linda,
Thank you for such encouraging words... I'm not quite a week post op and really healing amazingling quick, although the ab muscles are VERY loose... but that will get better I'm sure very soon. Down 7lbs already and the rings are so loose I'm almost ready to take them off for fear of losing them. I can't wait to see a year from now... I wish there was a fast forward button, LOL.
Congrats on your loss and the wonderful health you have now, I am SOOOO jealous!!!

Hi Corissa
I'm new to this board, I just found it tonight. I'm having my surgery on the same day as you. I am scheduled at 9 am for an open duodenal switch.
I am from Ontario Canada but I am having my surgery in Michigan with Dr. Lutrzykowski.
Best of luck to you.

Topic: Walking
Hi, everyone! I am just where everyone is with their walking. I know all the docs have such different reccomendations about the food plans and I am wondering what they say about the walking. Mine said 1/2 mile by 2 weeks out and 1 mile by 4 weeks. However, I have been staying with a friend out of town, until I FINALLY get to go home tomorrow, after my one-week post-op visit (yeah!-I'm homesick!). ANYWHO- we have been walking her neighborhood and tonight I did a little extra. We had no idea until we drove it, but I just realized this whole time I have been walking 1 mile and tonight did 2.5. I was SHOCKED! Not to mention all the walking while we have been shopping! Although, I guess that is more meandering than walking!
So, sorry about the rambling- guess I'm hyper from the walking and trip to Wally-wolrd! Just wanted to know where everyone is on their walking...
I cant wait to get to the gym too!
Many Blessings to everyone!

Topic: RE: how is everyone dealing with nervousness and anxiety?
I am OK.
I read a lot on OH, like everyone else. I am addicted!!!!!!!!!
I am a bit hungry. This liquid diet sometines gets the best if me, but I refuse to stray from the wonderful liquid diet I am on.
I bought three books on Amazon: LapBand for Life, Laproscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding, and my favorite book Eating well after weight loss surgery with 140 delicious Low Fat, High Protien recipies to enjoy in the weeks, months, and Years after surgery.
I have plenty to keep me busy!!
