Wanted to let you know my surgery with Dr. Toder is scheduled for tomorrow at 11:15 am. Wow, how the time flies. Will be glad for it to be over and on my way to recovery, hopefully a fast recovery. Hope you all are doing well. Diane

Hey Diane Hope all goes well for you. I have surgery with Dr. Toder Dec. 5 and can't wait for it to be over. The anticipation is killing me. Sending you over to the loser's bench and hope to be joining you soon!!! Good Luck and Best wishes, Toasting to a speedy recovery! Jules

Hello there! Been almost a month since your surgery as well. How are you doing? Jeannie

Hey there! Can you believe it's already been a month for you? How are you doing? Hope you are feeling well. Jeannie

Hi Jeannie: I didn't even realize it but yes, yesterday was a month since surgery...wow, the time flew by. I am on soft foods now which I am happy about..the full protein liquid meals are for the birds! (but thats what we have to do to help healing of new stomach). It doesn't take much to get full now..hard to believe what little I need now.. I have to pay attention and not over do it or eat too fast (have always been a fast eater) or oh, will I feel it! I have lost about 25 lbs since surgery. I would have lost more I am sure if I was more active but since I ended up with jaundice after surgery, it really did a number on me. I have to get on the treadmill or at the gym in a week or so. I am still out from work but expect to go back 2nd week of Jan. Thanks for saying hello..keep in touch..Diane

HI Jeannie It was a month yesterday for me and i have lost 33 pounds and 29 inches. I have only had one draw back and that is that I am now lactose intolerant. Other than that and having to be on the liquid diet for 2 weeks everything has gone very well. I have been going to the gym a couple of times per week to walk. I started back to work last sunday. I actually felt good enough to go back probally a week before that but didn't want to over do it with the 12 hour nights. I have thrown up a couple times form eating either to fast or to much. That will teach me. jules
