Pre-Op/Post-Op

Hmm it's been awhile since I've asked this! Plus, alot of us have gone through surgery.... So I think its time for an update! Ya know, to refresh our memory! Are you Pre-Op or Post-Op? If your Pre-Op - When's your surgery date or you still waiting? ~~~~~~ I'm Post-Op - 4 months out! Who's next?

Hi Katie, I'm pre-op for another 2 weeks, having surgery on August 16th. Greg

Oh my gosh Greg! Your day is gonna be here before your know it! I can't wait to watch your progress, since you've commented before on we both have just about the same amount to loss! It'll be greattt! Good luck and do you have an angel yet? -Katie

Yep it seems to be closing in faster than I thought possible Yes I do have an angel, thanks for asking, I will make sure she posts to the TN board after surgery to update everyone. Greg

Glad to hear it! Time to start the count down! Hehe...

I am preop with appointment scheduled for August 19 with Dr. Hruska. I have 20-30lbs to lose till that appointment. I have lost 9lbs so far. lisa

Wow Lisa! What diet are you following right now? I'd suggest the low-carb or atkins, only because from what I've heard - You have to get use to eating alot of protein in both diets, which will help you for the 'after' surgery life change. Just an idea! Congrats on lossing that 9 pounds! That's fantastic! Good luck on the 19th - Dr. Hruska will take care of you! I'm sure of it! She's the GREATESTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!! -Katie

Thanks Katie! And Congradulations on your weight loss! I am currently doing low -carb/high protein, just like they suggested. I am doing pretty good so far. Soda's are my biggest weakness along with pasta. But, I have been good. Every now and then I will have a diet Sundrop. I know I can't have that after surgery. That will be fine, just as long as I have Crystal Light. Lisa

You know Lisa, I thought not drinking pop/diet coke/diet dr. pepper would be hard but its gotten so easy! I'll admit - I've had a sip a few times but it never tastes the same. EVER. So just remember, it gets better in time! You'll start to crave water! Plus, you have light lemonade, propel water, fruit2o, crystal light, kool-aid with splenda or sugar-free koolaide.... Good Luck, Katie

still pre op. had to change surgeons recently. Still hoping for an october surery date.
