Topic: RE: tufts tonight? 9/20!
Hahahaha!! Way to narrow it down ~ can't say that I recognized ya!
I was there!!! Tonight was my second time going, the first time was better - listening to post-ops and their experiences. I didn't stay to listen to Dr. Shaw - or the new patient stuff, I stayed last month for that.
I have some appointments this week - Meghan and Dr. Snydman (becuase my surgery is a revision) then.... Immersion Day on the 5th!
Maybe by next month you'll have a photo so I'll recognize ya!!!

Topic: RE: Help with Pre-Op weight Loss
Finding out how many calories a day I shouldn't go above is what helped me. (You can google calorie calculator and find some, input her height/weight and it gives you a number) For me, I need to consume less than 1500 calories a day. So then I went to fitday.com and tracked (almost everyday) and made sure that I stayed under that. I still had a treat here and there... but tried to keep even my planned snacks "proteiny" to keep me feeling full. Good luck and just keep reminding yourself on how badly you want this! You CAN do it!!

I've heard that a heating pad can also help alleviate the gas pains.
Good luck, hope you feel better soon.
