Topic: NEWLY PUBLISHED BOOK: MY JOURNEY OUT OF SUPER MORBID OBESITY

BOOK OVERVIEW
Cindy Snyder shares her deepest thoughts, feelings and experiences in this diary/journal in hopes to encourage others and for her to never forget where God has brought her. Being warned by her physicians that her life was at stake, she knew she did not have the willpower to deliver herself from this bondage. Even after becoming a discussion leader for a national weight loss program in the early 1980's, Cindy's battle with gluttony escalated out of control. She knows what it is like to weigh 118 pounds yet be addicted to food and exercise. She also knows what it is like to weigh 465 pounds and "live" life as a Super Morbid Obese person with eleven co-morbidity's and be on over thirteen medications a day. She will be the first to tell you that it is a daily walk of God's Grace as to what she has been brought out of and where she hopes to remain. This book is the personal journal of Cindy's journey out of obesity. You will be led through this journey as to what life is like for the super morbidly obese person and is filled with descriptive and explicit hardships that the super morbid obese must daily live with. Cindy has tried to be as open and honest as possible and in some instances very detailed and graphic as to what "life" had become. Cindy not only shares the battles but also lets everyone experience the victories with her. Throughout her journey she shares Biblical teachings, humor and the joy that only God can give during trials in our lives.
Cindy's book covers everything from menus and recipes, surgery and exercise, measurements and weights, personal care, before and after pictures, to her most inner thoughts and feelings. Her documentations will encourage all that read them, from the most slender person with their own struggles to the very obese. Through her journey, faith will be strengthened to believe that with God all things are possible.

Topic: RE: Official weigh day...Drum Roll......
I know a lot of people use the Nectar protein powder.  I just couldn't tolerate it.  The only protein powder I like is Click mixed with Body Fortress Chocolate protein powder.

After doing tons of research, I found that the Flintstone vitamins really aren't good for us (sorry Dr. E!).  I take Centrum chewables.

He didn't have me do any kind of pre op diet - just the day before surgery restrictions for clear liquids after breakfast.

Good luck to you!

 I am doing great now.  It's been a long 8 years since my RNY.  My last surgery in August got rid of a lot of my daily pain.  I am almost weaned off my pain meds.  My goal is to be off all by this summer.  I have a lot of adhesions cut out, but some are starting to grow back.  I have been able to lose 40 pounds since June.  I had regained 90 pounds due to steroids.  Losing it the second time around is definitely harder!  But as we all know, it is a life long journey!  I wish you the best!

 He sent me home with 4 different prescriptions, Liquid Loratab (gross), prilosec, lexapro & some dissolving tablet. We aren't supposed to crush any of them, just take them whole & dissolve the blue tablet thingy in an ounce of water. I bought centerum chewables orange flavor which I can't stand the flavor so I crush them & take it really fast with water. And i did go about a week without the prilosec & lexapro & i noticed a bad difference, make sure you take them. lol.
