Topic: RE: Chronic Illness wls Support Group
thank you for starting this. I have wegener's granulomatosis (rare vascular disease) and I have been on chemo and prednisone for four years now. I gained 150lbs on pred and being unable to do activities....bed ridden.
I want wls, my doc wants me to have it, but he's afraid of me having gastric bypass due to the bowel issues. Lap Band isn't for someone that has to take prednisone. The last alternative, I've heard, doesn't give you much success....I'm saddened. :(

Topic: RE: pre-op eating
For the 2 weeks before surgery, my surgeon has his patients on a strict diet of lean meat, green veggies, eggs and cheese. So, basically a very strict Atkins diet.
You could try doing Slim Fast...you know, 2 shakes a day and a sensible dinner.
