Thanks, is there one that is just for post-op?  I'm going to try to attend in the next month or so.

She doesn't know what you can have. The notebook reading is a good suggestion.

Ask her to include some sugar free popsicles, S.F. fudgesicles or yogurts for your treat.  If she wants the snacks herself perhaps she could purchase only enough for 1 serving for her so that they aren't there tempting you.

You can do any of the items in the phase 2 liquid diet. It sounds like you are doing great. yoo calories is a bit low, are you getting in the 3 "meals" and 3 "snacks"?

Yes, Dr T. has canceled surgeries due to no weight loss, weight gain and smoking. Your blood test taken just before surgery will reveal if you have quit smoking. Also,  I also understand in the future they will require your CPAP card to be read to see if you are compliant in using it pre-op. At this point they just check in your machine and send it with you to your hospital room post op.

This is serious surgery and the surgeons want their work and your work to be successful.

I wish I could come!  If I'd realized it sooner I'd have found a sitter and driven up.  I need to put them on the calendar, what are the regular dates/times?

Personally I look like a sharpei when I am naked, but I FEEL so much better and it does hide well with clothes. A year ago I wouldn't be at work with leggings and a long button up top on, that I can tell you!  Does it get to me sometimes? Yes, the skin does get to me.  But it's better than the alternative.
