Hey Tam!!! Glad to hear from you. Just hang in there, it will happen and probably faster than you expect. Thanks for the compliment, it really makes my day when someone besides myself can tell a difference. What I notice the most is that my eyelids are slimmer.. I have actually lost weight there. Ha Ha...
Keep in touch and up-to-date,
Your Friend,
Brenda

Hey Tammy...haven't heard from you. Just wanted to know how you are and how thing's are going.

Hi Tammy. I'm doing ok. Still some pain but not as bad the last couple of days. We still don't know what is going on but my surgeon is going to do an EGD on me tomorrow. He is thinking ulcer so we shall see. Sounds like things are moving along for you. Let me know when you hear something.

Hi Tammy, Good to hear from you and congrats on your weight loss. The solid foods are going well for me so far and I have tried a variety of things. So far I have lost 49 lbs. Ok so far I guess. I'm 6 weeks out today. Hopefully you hear from your insurance soon with your approval. Please stay in touch and let me know what's going on.

Hi Tammy68, just stopping by to say hello.

Hi Tammy, and thanks for the visitor message. Yes, I'm getting SUPER excited about my surgery. I go this Friday for my pre-op appointment, which is pretty much an all day event, with appointments with the physician assistant, surgeon, anesthesiology department, and an info class. Plus I'll find out about my pre-op liquid diet at that time, and probably have to start it the following day (ugh). The post-op liquid diet doesn't phase me, but thinking about having to go to work with nothing but a liquid diet is freaking me out. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get through it. Good luck with getting your surgery date, and hopefully it will be soon.

Hi Tammy, how are things with you? Well as for me I'm doing just fine. I 'm starting on regular foods now (crab, tuna, chili and such) and it's been going well. I haven't weighed myself since my 2 week check up because I don't want to get to obsessed with weighing, but at exactly 1 month I am going to weigh again. Good to hear from you and keep me posted on you as well and let me know how things are with you.

Hey dear ... I had Laproscopic RNY.

Hi Tammy! Thanks for checking up on me. I'm doing well though still a little bit sore from my last surgery. Everything looks good though and I had the stitches out last Thursday. I had a really busy week at work this past week so I haven't been on much. I work the evening shift so I don't check the forum until after I get home from work at midnight. We had a really bad burn patient this week so I was putting in extra hours.

So how is your pre op diet going? You keeping away from that diet DP and cigarettes? I'm so glad I wasn't a smoker or a diet pop drinker before surgery. My 2 week pre op diet was just about all I could handle!! *L* I give you a lot of credit lady. What you are doing can't be easy for you. Hang in there. It really is all worth it.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your first in person support group meeting. A small group really is the nicest. The one my surgeon's office has is quite large which can be really intimidating for some people. My own group, that I lead, ranges from about 6-12 people so its a nice size group.

Well have a great Mother's Day tomorrow. Until later.

I think I have all my tests done now. That upper GI was pure NASTYNESS though! I'm going for the RNY but still don't have a date set yet. I'm still hoping that it will be within the next month!
