Happy New Year--My First Month Anniversary :cool

I haven't written much because in my opinion things went very very fast. My surgery was December first and it went off without much of a hitch. I guess they discovered some sleep apnea while I was on the table and recovering or something like that. But that is all gone now. I am off all diabetic medications for a 1 month monitoring period. My sugar has maintained at between 92 and 127 for 2 weeks now. That is very exciting. I had a little trouble with the pureed food part. One day, I had a meltdown. It all looked and smelled the same. My dietition was great help. I love the staff of OSU they are so helpful and caring. Dr. Needleman is great. I received great service from the staff. Bless them for giving me endless ice chips. I am still having to learn to eat slowly. But I am finally getting my portions under control. Trying to eat all that protien seems next to impossible. One thing I thought I would never say was that I lost 10 lbs over the holidays. This brings me up to a total of 42 lbs and I really havent started exercising yet. Yipppppeeee!!! Well that is where I am. Good luck to all who are in preparation.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO!!! I'm pre op and also a patient of Dr. Needleman. Glad to hear he and his staff are so good. I can't wait to have my surgery, sometime in the summer I hope. I'm still on my 6 month diet for insurance purposes. Good luck and continued success with your surgery. Hugs, Susie

Congratulation on the weight. You are doing great. Keep up the good work and just keep on top and in charge. Just think of where you will be next year at this time. Lise

Congrats on being a "loser" John. From the sounds of it your surgery will be a success! Happy New Year, Jaimee
