Hello to all, I am on my 7th week post-op and have lost 27 pounds.I fell good, but because I work for a produce company, I find myself missing salads.I also find myself not drinking enough liquids, the necessary 48-64 oz, I used to drink lots of water and diet caffeine free pepsi,but now I have to make myself drink something.If any of you have a thought or advice can you please email me. Thanks.

Hello to all,Just letting all of you know how well,I am doing.Today is June 5,2004 Looks like I have lost 20 Pounds post-op,262 today.Pre-op 282..Feels great and the food hasn't been to bad.I sort of crave things,but know that I can't handle them,so what is the point.I figure perhaps some time down the road,maybe my new stomach will allow.But I have been walking and that seems fine so far.I will check in again soon.Love to all,and God bless,

Dear Mary, Being nervous is something I understand. I was frightened beyond distraction. It is a normal part of this whole thing. You will certainly be in my prayers. Looking forward to having you join me in the LOSER'S MARATHON! This journey is definately a marathon. One that we can and will win. Today, extreme nervousness and in a few weeks -50 lbs, like me. Take care of yourself and remember you are in my prayers. Grins, Kaye

Hi Mary! I too am having surgery next week. Last day at work is the 10th, and my surgery is on the 12th. I have to admit that anxiety is setting in a bit - not so much about the surgery, but the many life changes after. But I look at my list of reasons for having surgery, and the things I look forward to doing afterwards, and I KNOW I'm doing the right thing. Try to focus on how much better your life can be after the surgery. Best wishes on your surgery next week. Good luck!

Her is an update on me, I am nervous and the days are getting so close I only have 7 days and a wake-up....My last day at work is the 9th,but my surgery is on the 13th. I am a little scared,I admit that I have not really been nervous and now, it is really close and I am getting that butterfly feeling in my gut.Please pray for me and think good thoughts.Thank-you
