Pre-Op/Post-Op

Hi Joe! Are you having any luck finding a new doctor? I wish you so much luc****ep us updated with your journey! Hugs, Katie

Hey Katie, Thanks to the stupid requirements of my insurance company, I am still pre-op. It will be next Feb. before I have my six months of dieting in. So far I have managed to lose zero pounds. LOL I just can't stick to a strict calorie counting diet that includes foods that I absolutely hate.

You can do it, Debbie! Plus, just think you get one more holiday season of eating whatever you want! Think positive! LOL! I've done the calorie counting diet - UGH! It gets boring and FAST! I couldn't imagine living my whole life like that! Goood Luck! -katie

Katie I can't wait to be 4 months post-op!!! My date is next Monday the 9th!!! I think I could jump out of my skin at times getting anxious!!! Best wishes Linda

Oh my gosh! Congrats Linda! Are you all ready for surgery? You have any questions? You have an angel? -Katie

I"m postop, 14 months out, lost 123 lbs. Hooked on those darn combos, trying to detox myself. Sigh...the only carbs I can eat out there without affecting me, and I'm hooked!

Congrats on the loss! I've had a few combos too! Gosh, there soo good but thankfully I didn't get hooked!! My biggest addiction right now is gold fish crackers though! There so yummmy with tuna fi****hey also have new gold fish peanutbutter sandwich crackers - YUM! *Steps away from the gold fish!* Good luck with your addiction - It could be worse! So I wouldn't sweat it to much! -Katie

Katie, Let me say first of all Congrats on your big LOSS!!! You are doing soo great! As for me I am post-op! July 21st was my WLS. I am 12 days out. I still got the blues and just don't know why I am just not myself I have not been on here at all but hello to everyone and much love! Cherry

Hi Cherry! GOod to hear from you chickie! Take it slow hon - It takes awhile to start feeling yourself again! It took me atleast a month to feel 'normal' but I did start walking in wal-mart and trying to do small things around the house, atleast what my mom would let me! I'm stubborn! LOL! Ohh make sure your getting your water, vitamins, tums, and b-12 shot! -Katie

Hey Cherry, Hope you'll be feeling better soon. Lots of catching up to do. LOL Sandie
