7 days left

YEAH!!!!  I only have 7 days until I am on the road to a better me.  I am not nervous yet, but I am sure it is coming.  Alexia, do you still want to be my Angel.  It is yours if you want it.  Let me know if I have to do anything. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL....   Jen

Hey Jen - I was thinking about you today - I can't believe you're not getting nervous yet!!!  I'm starting to be a wreck!  lol   It's actually an odd feeling - I'm nervous yet very excited :) Yay for us all - Happy Thanksgiving !!! Pam

 

I am so jealous that you are ahving your so soon. I have a question. Why is it that Dr. Roye's patients don't seem to ever have to go on liquids? I mean...not that I am complaining, but my BMI is higher than some who have to. Anyway..I am psyched for you and can't wait to join you in the losing. Have a great Thanksgiving! Eat lots of turkey!

He told me that he wants you to loose weight but he does not want you to be sick of the liquids.  He puts you on 4-5 weeks of LIQUIFIED PUREED.  If you do liquids for 2 weeks then 6 of purees, you will loose it.  I asked him if I could do liquids, he told me if I wanted to it would help.  He would not dis-courage it. Jen

Jen- absolutely count me in!

I will pm you later weds about details

wish me luck- my first apt is tomorrow at 9:45-   I am shaking in my boots as we speak(and it's just a consult)

The countdown is on!!! I know I didnt get nervous until the day before and even then I knew it was what I should do so it was no big deal.  Are we going to get together before your surgery? You have to give me a call Jen!! I sent you a PM. We can chat about everything and I definately want to come and see you in the hospital! You'll do great and be on the road to great health before you know it!

Hi Surgi Sister, it's Thanksgiving and we have 5 more days!  I finally adjusted to the liquid diet and am okay most of the time.  Happy Thanksgiving to you!  I have a plan for today.  I am eating my one meal with my family at Thanksgiving meal.  I come from an Italian family so there is chicken soup, and antipasto and turkey and all kinds of special fixings.  Mom pulled out some plain broth for me for when they have the soup.  THen I'll eat the pickled peppers in the antipasto.  For the turkey part I'll have my 3 oz, fat free turkey gravy, and veggies.  I made a dish of smashed cauliflower so I won't feel like I'm missed out on the potatoes.  For dessert, sugar free jello!  LOL  Anyway, we're on our way!  Good luck!  Jules

Yeah Jen!!  That is so exciting 

Dear Jen, Is it Tues. you go in?  Good luck.  You've been on liquefied purees for 6 wks???  Ugh. It's easy, so don't worry.  I ate everything for T-giving, just small amounts (tiny).  I loose steadily & slowly.   That's fine with me.  I feel great.  My blood pressure is good - off two meds.  My acid reflux is better.  Off one med.  I'll lay odds my cholesterol & sugar are down, too.  More meds avoided. I've also gotten smarter & better looking.  Perks. Islander Eileen
