Upcoming DS Surgery Dates!

You are such an Angel. That is so sweet of you.  Yes Yes Yes  please be my angel.  I am partly nervous and excited at the same time.  I just finished my sleep study just last week and my appt for the results in Sept 16th. I will see my PCP at the end of Sept and then for the fun of my second appt pre op with Dr. G and the nutritionist in Oct and I was already schedule for PreAdmissions one week before my surgery.  I just can't believe it is almost here.  I did not think it was going to be this fast.  I started this process back in May and it has been flying.    Really I have not started to exercise yet, I just started to cut out soda and everything caffeine and sugars.  I am only drinking tons and tons of water.  The first 10lbs was pretty easy just from that.  I am drinking my protein shakes and making sure that I have or try to have at least more than 70 to 80 mg of protein to get myself use to having to do it later.  I am eating protein bars for snacks.  Salads with a lot of veggies.  Dinner just trying to have only one helping.  Of course I have to have my ice cream (sugar free of course)  it is not too bad.  I am really going to try to exercise so my skin will bounce back with me and I am hoping not have to do any more surgeries. 
How much did they tell you that you have to lose before surgery?  You can do it.  I really was worried that I was not going to be able to do it and 20lbs later my knees feel pretty good.  Just remember NEVER SAY NEVER!   We will have to think positive.  We both can do it.
Hugs,
Denise

Yay! I am Denise's Angel! I will email you my contact info also so you can keep me updates as the times comes nearer. Thank you for the words of wisdom The support is greatly appreciated. Are you going to the support group the 3rd Tues of this month?

Yes, I am planning on going this month.  I have not gone to anything yet because it was always a conflict with me.  So far no conflicts this month.  I really want to get out and meet people and ask questions now that mine is getting closer.  I have met a few friends on here and have gotten some great information.  I heard that the support group is wonderful.  Hope to see ya there.

Thanks for being my angel.

It is fun. The dinner afterwards is the best though. You get to see what pre and post op'ers are eating, get to hear real experiences, and make great friends  I will definitely be there. You get to meet your angel ::wink wink:: lol I'm kidding!

I am looking forward to it. 
Thanks for being my angel
