Just looking for some advice.............

I am a patient of Dr. Roye's and expect to have surgery in about a month. ( I have two pre op test left, one is the sleep apnea and the other is my bloodwork) I am looking for any and all advice that can help me in my recovery. Any hints or tips on how to eat and what to eat will be greatly appreciated. Right now I am weighing in at 292 pounds and my BMI is 45.7(I'm 5'7.5). My goal weight is 150 pounds what can I posibbly do to reach this...........

Have you been to any of the group support meetings at Gerry House? They are helpfull. Also, a nutritionist will be meeting with you. I am a patient of Dr. Roye also, at the last group meeting, he told me that after you complete the testing, there is a 6-8 wk wait for a surgery date. I am exactly where you are...sleep study and blood work left. My sleep study consult is 8/25. I really suggest the group meeting because just listening to what other people do right & wrong is an eye opener.
