peg from Minnesota

I thought about all the favorite foods I would like but I ended up not because with my salt problem its not the smartest thing for me to do! So good for anybody that did it and for the others good for you to hang tough, this the way our life has to be, like someone else said this won't be our last taste of something good we are I our way to to a healthier better life.

Hi! My surgery is July 13, next week I start the liquid diet 2 weeks, I hope this the right decision I really think so its mostly for my health diabetes and my heart the extra weight?? so I know its the right choice just wish it was over and I was on my way DOWN . I am retired so I have a lot of time to think about it I sit and wonder how thin I well get if it well be really hard hoping I don't get sick. Anyway can't worry about something that's not in our hands.Good luck to you and lets keep in touch.

God be with You, Stay positive and here's to better health!!

I agree I haven't been to any group inspiration meetings yet don't know of any around here. How far along R U ? Where R U working with? I am a ...little nervous wish the day was here, maybe I am just axcious.

I am from Minnesota live in Owatonna, Mn, But I am having Gastric Bypass on July 13 at Abbott in MPLS. I start my 2 week liquid diet on the 29th and have my physical that Monday morning. Then I am ready,

So glad everything went well now you get more ice chips and clear liquids right???Wish I was done I hate waiting around.

I was hoping to go to pfChangs chinese but the salt well be probablly not good. I like chocolate to. and some really big deep fryed shrimp. hum.

Keep up the good work! I enjoyed hearing what you have been drinking, I start on the 29th and have my big day July 13th, I am retired so I can let the gas escape somewhat, hope its not painful and the time goes fast.Good luck to you hope the weight just falls off!! right?

Your looking great man wow! I have gasttric bypass July 13 Was wondering how fast one would see results!! Keep up the great work!!!

I am so happy to finally get registered on this site, I am not real computer savy but I really enjoy all your advice and encouragements. I am also a newbie and just got my surgery date July 13th, I will also have my trac stretched at the same time!! I had to be intabated after my heart failure Dec.9th 2013. It lead to alot of scare tissue that fills in my trac and so I have had about 9 stretchings because it really makes my air short. Shortness of breath and being 100 pounds overweight has been awlful! Hopefully getting rid of this big belly well make my life easier? I hope that I can handle all of the directions, walk, walk, walk and eat Protein first? I like Premier Protein also chocolate being my favorite , Anything strawberry reminds me of some of those diet drinks from the 70's oh they were awlful.I am hopeful to get rid of my diabetes and blood pressure meds , I have a very big drug bill every month so I am looking forward to seeing how it all plays out for me, I know that everyone is different .Looking forward to positive things to come.
