Topic: RE: 1.11.11 (49 Days!!!)
Congratulations.
I think it was just about this length of time. My original consult was scheduled for October 2007. I had been in the basic exploratory seminar at Newton Wellesley at the end of August. I felt like there were almost seventy people there and when oh when would I get surgery. I think many rethought the commitment and did not apply.
I loved how N-W had all the different tests done in the same place. I see many youtube videos where people have to schedule days off constantly to comply with all that is needed to get this surgery.
One of my friends went to Tufts but it was discovered that he had colon cancer. I am not sure of the doctor. He is doing okay a year after the initial surgery and that fateful discovery. I keep him in my prayers.
Another friend at church went to another place and for the life of me it is escaping me. I think he is still in the high 300s but losing slowly and steadily. He said that he wanted to be skinny like me.
So, as you are thankful this year, just remember that you are leading by example in this community. There will always be someone who heeds your advice and follows your lead.
Life is good!

Topic: 1.11.11 (49 Days!!!)
FINALLY got my date!!!!
1.11.11
It hasn't really been all that long, my first appointment was the end of August. Made it thru all the "regular appointments" plus a few extra tests since my procedure is a revision. Tufts has been awesome with timely appointments and scheduling back to back in one day which made for very little disruption in my life (not that I would have minded).
I'm making my formal announcement at Thanksgiving - because this year along with being thankful for my kitty Tuxedo (he's 19), my Fiance, My Family, Friends, Co-Workers and Colleagues and ALL of the OH'ers that have been so supportive and inspirational, I can add yet another chance at a "normal" life to the list <3
I am truly blessed.

Wow, if your able to get in 60+ grams of protein at 10 weeks postop that's amazing! Make sure your getting in enough water and at the very least start walking! But stalls are part of the process try not to let them haunt you, they can last from days, to weeks to months! Don't worry it'll start moving again, this is an adjustment to your body as well as your behavior.

Topic: Scale...Why has thou forsaken me?
I wish I could wave a magic wand and the scale would start moving. If it doesn't happen soon I am going to "*****slap" it into submission. Anyone feeling the same way?
I have been a getting better this past week by averaging 60+ g of protein finally (just passed week 10 post RNY). I have been bringing an EAS RTD to work each day and drinking it over ice through the afternoon. I am not thrilled about it and it literally takes me about 2 hours to drink it all (only 11 oz with 17g protein). But I have to do what I have to do.
Need to get exercise more than what little I am doing, but I look at it as progress, not perfection.

I'm also a Dr Jones VSG hopeful! I had an early surgery date and just got a new "investigational" denial letter from my insurance. So, preparing to appeal. The BIDMC program is excellent!
