Topic: RE: Surgery Date 11/17/08 -What should I take to the hospital?
i brought my MP3 player, magazines and a book and didn't touch any of them. i was lucky to have company most of the time, but didn't have enough interest in even holding up a magazine, nevermind the concentration to read. i just used the TV and talked to the parade of people coming to check my vitals.
I did bring deodorant, toothbrush/paste, robe and slippers. didn't really use the slippers, but the rest i used.
Best thing i brought.... neck pillow!
2nd best.... a small table fan - it kept me cool in a warm room - on a rubber mattress! Also drowned out a little of the hallway noise.

Topic: RE: Just need some answers
well, first congradulations for taking the first step to helping yourself..... I am 3 months out an I haven't got a fill..... So you are great with some in your band. I have lost 33 pounds since aug. 1 and no fill... so as long as you are loosing weight don't be frantic...it is a good thing.
you need to eat at least 1200 calories a day and eat 3 lean cusine size meals and 2 snacks a day plus 64 ozs. of water. the size of a lean cuisine meal is what you need to eat about every 3-4 hours. It is ok if you can't get it all down. I can't still with no fill. We don't know how much is in my band from surgery date, but what ever is in their it is working... stick to what I said and you will do great! the main thing is 70 grams of protein a day then the vegs....hope that helps....Sara

Topic: RE: 6 days Post Open RNY
Hi There "Loser" Friends : Before long we'll be amongst those other "Losers". I am having LAP RNY on Wednesday the 19th. Good luck to you with your sipping and walking. I know that has been said over and over so I intend to take others' advice and do just that.
"One Sippy Sippy" "Two Sippy Sippy" "Three Sippy Sippy" LOL Might as well make a game out of it, eh?
