Question:
I HAVE A DATE
I really dont have a question I have a date 12/5.......I just wanted to let everyone know I enjoy all of the information I have received. But most importantly I have enjoyed the wonderful people that have taken the time to answer my questions. I know it will be hard in the beginning but it will be worth it in the end once again thank you I will keep everyone informed — sawwas (posted on October 14, 2008)

Congratulations, woohoo!!!
I would recommend you begin getting yourself in the best shape possible.
Start exercising as much as you can, even if it's just a few minutes a day
and build up. Eat low carb, drink lots of water just not 30 minutes before
and after meals, eat all your protein first and then your veggies, attend
support group meetings, get an incentive spirometer and do some deep
breathing exercises every day.
Best of luck and we are all here to welcome you to the loser's bench.

Hey, congratulations!! I second the getting started now part. Work on
drinking lots of fluids, if you don't already. Don't go crazy stocking the
house with protein shakes, because your tastes may change post op, so just
get a small supply. It's SO WORTH IT, no matter what a person's perception
of "hard" is. It's more different than hard. Just be aware that
the surgery changes your stomach not your head, so work on that right now
while you can. And get a journal and write in it from day one postop.
You'll be surprised at what you look back on a year from now. Good Luck!!

Dear Patty, Good luck with everything!!! I'm new so going through the
"adjustments'' - mostly psychological for me |: Everything will go
fine, though, and you'll be glad you did it (: Keep in touch - I sent in a
request to be added to you Friends list - thanks. -Barbara W. [aka,
