I meant 'one' day

I am on day behind you mzshay...just a little over a month to go

I just got home from my three month appointment and it looks like I will officially become a loser towards the end of July! I am pretty pumped up. I cant wait to start seeing some NSVs. This fall I am going to sit in a tree stand while hunting and not praying that the 300lb weight limit on the stand was just a suggestion. So far my biggest worry is the drain tube and catheter. But it will be worth it!

yeah some one added me and then I was able to figure it out. I am liking logging all my info but look forward to getting a pedometer that automatically downloads my activity there.

I am pre-op also so I don't have much advice outside of reading and interacting on this board as much as possible. There are people here who are in the initial research faze to people who are 5 years post op. Good luck this next week. -

Protein pancakes!

That does sound good -
My doc wants to have someone drive me to the one week appointment but also says it is OK to drive once off the pain meds. I have not heard about how long I will have to wait to exercise yet.

Oh man, I think I made a mistake!
PittGuy replied to PittGuy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Little known fact.... they chose to use water boarding at Guantanamo because catheters was deemed too cruel... I will continue to hold out hope that the doc can be talked into taking it out before I wake.. my pitch is going to be it will be good motivation to get up and walking around. We will see how that goes. -
Cleaned the fridge magnets, that is great. Keep up the good work man.

I am getting sliced and diced on July 30th. Last week of July seems like an eternity away but I bet it will fly by.

Congrats!

I am glad it is going well Warrior. Keep up the great work man!

I am not sure if my doc will set a goal weight. Is it best to shoot for the 80% that is expected to be lost or to shoot for the healthy BMI weight

Day 1 liquid diet: anyone with me?
PittGuy replied to mcdoja's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mcdoja, I received my presurgery packet and it looks like my lquid diet will be two weeks. I saw their paperwork had two options i am guessing the need my liver to shrink a good amount. How was your hospital stay? St Margaret sent out a packet with pre surgery info but nothing about the actual stay. I hope all is going well. -
9 month wait for my doc.

I received my pre-op packet in the mail today!
PittGuy posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I found out my pre-op liquid diet will be two weeks of protien shakes and water. I have pre-surgery meeting with my NUT, one with my PCP, and one with my surgeon. July 30th I will be on the losers bench. -
