Hello All, especially Kay, I am Ken Gibson and you and I are starting the new year right. I had my surgery on 1-4-10. It's been three days and I am at home resting, and tomorrow I will try to exercise some with my stationary bike. I am at 270 now, but since the surgery I have dropped about 6 pounds. I have noticed my symptions are the same as yours. I liked your entry cause it's the same as for me. Any assistance from all the pro's who have been past this stage would be helpful. Wish you a Great Year.

Hello All, I am Ken Gibson and just about one week out from having my surgery done. I am on liquid diet, plus vitamins, and water, plus I add soup. My first appointment is in one more week (2wks). I appreciate your information about eating proper and maintaining. My surgery was done on 1-4-10. Any advice as to what a meal program should be at the 4 week mark. You may send advice to giby97@hotmail.com. Thank you
