Hi Kristina... how are you feeling? I've been thinking about you. How's the hunger?

just thinking about you.. how r u feeling?

May 11th is my new date

Hi Ketanyara!! how are you?? Well welcome to the site, I am still learning to move around in it. So I live in Issaquah, and also am a Microsoft wife . Who are you getting your surgery done by? I'm doing it with Dr. McMahon in Swedish. So originally my surgery date was on 4/20 and I got a bad infection the night before my surgery, so now it's posponed to the 11th. I would love to buddy up with you. Keep me posted on your progress. Take care

Hi Pockets!! how are you feeling?? how many days post op now? mine got postponed because I got really sick..

Anyhoo.. just checking up on you. Hope you're well...

I'm a lot better thank you! No great though... well didn't eat too much the last couple of days, but ate whatever I wanted. I noticed my stomach shrunk, I would eat a little and was full.. that's a releif!

I am soooo glad to hear you're doing ok!! I'm so happy for you....

keep me posted. I know, I'm counting my 3 weeks again!! keep drinking and walking. good luck!

HI Kristina, thinking of you of you Hope it all went well. Let me know how u are as soon as you are up to it.

Good luck tomorrow!! I'll be thinking of you

well, I am glad they waited, 2 days later and I am still tembling and still nauseaus and still with a fever, super weak and sore.. so I cannot imagine adding the way I feel to a surgery. Well I've been pretty good, until tonight, I totally cheated, hand a little bit of chocolate cake and some apple turnovers... man were those good!! I'll get back on track in the next couple of days..

When is your surgery? it's coming up pretty soon right? Well if I dont talk to you I wish you the best of luck!!

Hi Katy,

So I'm sure you saw I had to postpone my surgery due to a UTI... I got a fever at 1am the night before...so that cancelled all plans. So to answer your questions, I will stay overnight once I have my surgery. As for the pre op diet basically stage one of Adkings, which is keeping carbs to 20grams or less. Post-op 3 weeks of liquids and week 4 mushies...dont know how I will handle that, but no choice I guess.. What about you?

Well girls, my surgery was posponed at 1 am due to a UTI... I got a fever and the doctor said that due to the infection he would not operate on me... so now I get to wait until 5/11...

Thans Guys!! here we go!

I'm super good.... tomorro is surgery day and my clear liquids start today... so I am super excited!! Well I cheated all weekend... and I lost weight.. I figured if I wasnt losing any being good and it's my last weekend of solids for 3 weeks.. oh well... and I lost... 1.5lbs...lol Well wish me luck...

sent you an email, my post was too long for this thread...lol

ok... so i ate t tablespoons of rice at lunch and for dinner half a hot dog and half a chicken bake from costco... I'm so mad that I said "screw it" ... not the right attitude i know....

Hi Kristina...

So far since January I lost 10 lbs. 3 of which are since Wed of last week (My pre-op). I went to the gym yesterday and worked out hard, all Cardio... Spinning class.. for sure I thought I would lose a pound... got on the scale, and NO, nothing... so who knows. Oh well I wont give up.

I hope on post-op I will lose, since at that point I will be all liquids. Thanks for the tip on the broth, I have read on other message boards that the broth helps a lot for the hunger.

So what shakes are you taking? I bought Nectar shakes, I cannot believe how good they are... I get the big jars delivered today, I had just tried the samples.

Well... No worries friend, we will do it. I cannot wait until the weight starts dropping off.... thanks for checking on me, take good care

How's pre op treating you? mine is not bad, but at the same time I am not losing the weight the way I should. I am on high protein low carb, and so far only 3 lbs in 8 days.. no bueno! Hope yours is going better

Hey buddy.. how is pre-op treating you?? So I gotta tell you I am not losing the weight the way I should. I am sticking to high protein and low carb as they suggested, however weight is not coming off as it should, only 3 lbs in one week... I think I need to cut my quantitites, I'm just so hungry!! any suggestions??
