Topic: Dr.Stefanie Vaimakis post op seminar
I just wanted to thank Dr.Vaimakis and the Dr's involved in todays seminar that was at the Crowne Plaza in Englewood...I found it very informative and inspirational... Her whole staff is great and I highly recomend them if you are thinking of WLS... In my own words they are the bomb-diggity...Sound off if you were there and let me know what you think...
Topic: RE: Long - xpost: 5 K Race Report
Thanks, sorry it has taken me so long to write back. i had such a long week trying to catch up from missing a weekend of normal life plus getting my body back to normal. .
It was so great!! I am doing it again next year, I signed up before I went home on Sunday. I really really want to have a team for next year so I hope that others from our world will join me. It was so amazing to see all the people there that were walking for the same cause and working together~ actually helping each other. Saturday was the long day, we walked all over and the coolest part was going over the Brooklyn bridge, the worst part was going over the Manhattan bridge.. Sunday was cool cause it seemed so much easier since your body was already pissed and letting you know it that there was not the fear of the pain. The closing ceremonies were very moving and emotional, I think some of the emotion was due to the physical exhaustion but it was good..
Next year I want to do the whole 39 miles, I had intended to do all 39 this year but just couldn't do it. I pushed too hard in the am ~ I didn't eat, drink or stop enough early in the day so my body couldn't get me to the end.
I hope you join me for next year!
Thanks,
Stella

Topic: RE: Dr. Reich/Dr. Strom at SOCH
Gia,
I'm so sorry - I've been MIA
I didn't know you responded and didn't know how to get back to my thread! LOL
ok....with THAT said...........
Dr Barbalinardo will give us salad and veggies on PRE-op?? I thought it was liquid (no exceptions) one week pre op and one week post op. Do I have to drink those protein shakes or can i get some from GNC ? I found one that is 280 calories per drink but it has 60 grams of protein!!! I could even break it up over the day (instead of using the full 3 scoops - I could do 1 or 1.5 scoops per shake) and get the 60 by the end of the day that way....? It's actually good too! :)
Do they give you liquid pain killers and liquid gas meds - I'm hearing alot about this gas thing - uggghhhh
I found out today that I have sleep apnea too (18 aps per hour) -- which means - I've got the trifecta (sad to word it that way) but I have diabetes, sl apnea and acid reflux ---- so I guess even though I'm under a 40 bmi - I may still get approved - GOD i hope so.!!!
How are you doing!?!?! what are you down NOW? :)
