hey dude

welcome welcome welcome

as our group gets larger - "we people" get smaller!!

you've lost 40 lbs and you haven't started pre-op

thats terrific

shows how committed you are!!

wonderful to start the new year getting healthy

tips???

take one day at a time

"might" be a little rough at first/or later a bit

might stall

things usually get better sooner than later

follow all the rules set by doc and NUT(nutritionist)

drink as much as you can

Water is very important

don't allow yourself to get dehydrated

as this early stage - Water is more important than Protein

come "visit" this board frequently

you'll get plenty of support here

hear all our wisdom,

listen to our good advice

experiences

but - at the end of the day

ALWAYS/ONLY follow the words of your doc/NUT (and me too of course )

your determination/optimism goes a long way

thats always good

good luck

speedy recovery

Make sure you tell your doctor about your cold so they can tell you what meds you can take. I was sick for three weeks before my surgery and that day I still had coughing and some chest congestion but everything went well. I was so scared that I would start coughing during the operation but that won't happen when being completely under anesthesia.

Hope you feel better soon and congratulations on your weight loss so far. Good job!!!
