Topic: RE: hello
Pam, I do have a pre-op diet and start it on new years day. It's 60 oz of protein shakes/bars a day, 5 oz of lean meat and 2 cups of vegetables. This is the part i'm most concerned with as my stomach and brain are still the "same size". Luckily, water is my new best friend and I think it will greatly assist me with my pre-op diet. Any suggestions anybody would give will be of great assistance!

I haven't had any heartburn since surgery, but I'm still on Prilosec twice a day.

Mine was a quiet GERD.  I didn't have pain that often, but the damage was being none anyway.

How about you?

How very exciting for both of you. I can't WAIT to going the 'loser's bench". Only a couple more weeks for me!

That's very exciting. For Christmas I told my family and friends to get any gifts (clothes) for me too small and I am looking forward to be able to get into them. It's the small victories that matter! Congrats again!

Karen, that's excellent! Grats!

I'm curious, have you noticed any improvement in your GERD yet?

My wedding and engagement rings fit again!  I took them off well over a year ago, while I could still get them off (barely).  Mind you, I'm not quite 2 weeks out, and have only lost 10 lbs from my pre-surgery weight.  However, from August until December 17th I lost 60 lbs.  I'll take it however I can get it!

Best of luck to you both! We'll shuffle over and make room on the bench, there's always room for a couple more!
