Lynda486 replied to demayome's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I walked a mile in the morning and a mile at night as soon as I could walk. about 1 month I added Richard Simmons routines every week day. It was hard but so worth it, -
I really need to check out GNC! Thanks!

I have been researching protein drinks, which one do you like? I am even considering making some soups and such for post op. I am so excited for you, it sounds like you have made the very best of your time before surgery! I will be watching to see how your surgery goes. Best wishes! -

Getting My Surgery Date On TUESDAY 🥳
Lynda486 replied to curlygirlgetsfit's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Congratulations! I just got my date yesterday for Sept. 16th. Good job completing everything -
What I did as I was loosing was to buy just a few things to get me through. Or go to thrift stores for better deals. Otherwise I would be left with a lot of clothing that was too big. Good Luck!

Medication Costs After Bariatric Surgery
Lynda486 replied to Born in Missouri's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I currently wear a pain patch, and hoping I can get off my blood pressure meds soon after surgery. I take other meds for sleep and such, but when I am more active and fit maybe I can lose those too! -

Gentle hugs to you, I am sorry that you went through all that. -
Realizing just how fat I was...and still am
Lynda486 replied to MikeIL's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Mike, You are doing fantastic, really! I felt the same way after my first surgery, and now when I look at pictures from then I can see how thin I had gotten. I also always gravitated towards the larger clothes section because I guess I wasn't convinced that I was losing weight! Keep up the good work! -
Mike, you look fantastic. I am new here, but have been through it all before. How long before you could stand up straight from you TT? Glad you are feeling better! Lynda

Today is your day, and I just wanted to wish you all the best! Look forward to hearing about it!

Lynda486 replied to Sausageandbeans's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
GradyCat, you just made my day. I am 54 also and was worrying that I was to old for this! -
They say I am going to skip the Psych stuff, and the usual longer diet since my BMI is 36. I will have to meet with a nutritionist and do a 3 day diet before surgery. The gal I talked to said she would talk to the DR. on Wednesday and then get back with me to schedule my surgery. Whoot!

How long after EGD till surgery date?
Lynda486 replied to Lynda486's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tomorrow will be two weeks since my EGD. I did call them Friday and since I have been through this before she said she thought I wouldn't have to do the Psych stuff but that they would call me after lunch. No phone call -

I know you posted this years ago, but who was your Dr at Cox? I am seeing Dr Simpson.
