Topic: Finally moving forward with surgery. I alittle scared.
It has been a couple of years since I first tried to get the surgery done. How with my doctors approval I am looking in to have one of the surgeries done. Which one I am not sure. I have Nash (cirrhosis) and a heart problem that is getting better with medicine. I see a chiropractor regularly and I feel great and ready. I just want to healthy again. Ride a bike again. I weight 264 pounds and would like to be 135 again or somewhere close to that. I would be wonderful to walk and breath normal again. I have been working on my eating habits. and trying to walk everyday. I have manage to lose 20 pounds since november. If anyone has any helpful ideas please tell me.

Congrats on the weight loss. I am glad the vitamins are working for you. It really makes a difference when you take them. I know when I miss my b-12. My energy level stinks. And Lord knows I need all the energy I can get. LOL.

Yes, walking helps imensely! This helps get all the gas moving and out. I had a little trouble with gas getting trapped up in my neck and under my collar bone, it can be pretty painful. As far as you going back to work so soon, see what your Dr. says. I'm not going back till friday wich gives me 2 weeks recooperation time. But I'm on my feet the whole time I'm at work. A lot will probably depend how you feel also.

Romelle,
Thanks for the info. Not to be insensitive.... but you mentioned walk... walk... walk.... I know they fill you with air/gas . Is that a problem? Does walking help? Also how long did you have to take off work? I hope to go back Tues and Wed half days after surgery on Friday. I have a desk job no lifting, etc.

You can have protein shakes, which mine that I have contain 15 grams of protein per shake. My Dr. requires at least 60 grams of protein a day. You also can have soups that are creamed with no chunks or clear broth. Popsicles, juices diluted with water, SF jello and SF pudding. At least 64 oz. of fluid a day you can count what you use in your shakes and juices... popsicles ect. I like the Fuse slenderize brand drinks... not too sweet. You can also have crystal light, skim milk. Then there's your vitamins, multi with iron 2 x a day and calcium citrate with D 600 mg 3 x a day take with a little orange juice helps absorb better. Do not take with vitamin, they need to be taken separetly apart at least an hour. There is suppose to be a book WLS for Dummies has great information. I'm looking into getting it this weekend. I hope this helps you ~ Romelle
