 RNY (04/09/12) Member Since: 07/20/11[Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/9/12 9:00 pm I can't tell you how happy I am that I stumbled across this forum. So many people have told me that I am too small to have this surgery. There are tons of us! It makes me feel so much better about my decision! Thank you all!!  |

 Member Since: 11/17/10 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/10/12 4:14 am I see you have less than 2 months to go until surgery. How exciting! Take this time to ask any questions you might have. I also suggest getting your home and kitchen ready for the big changes to come.   Height: 5'5" / HW: 223 / SW: 196 / GW: 125 reached 12/22/2011 / CW: 121  |

 Member Since: 03/20/09 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/10/12 9:32 am Welcome to the LW Board. Hope you will love it here as much as I do. I used my magic bullet a lot in the beginning. I still ocassionally use it for protein drinks. I wouldn't buy a lot of food/protein because your taste will probably change a lot. All surgeons plans are different about how you progress on to puree, soft, regular food. You will need measuring cups/spoons. They gave me the little medicine cups at the hospital and I used those a lot - still use them some now. Feel free to send us any questions, we love to answer them!! Good luck and get ready for the ride of your life!!! Linda 14.5 lost pre-surgery 5'1 1/2"  |

 Asheville, NC Member Since: 10/12/09 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/10/12 3:53 pm I know that sometime many moons ago, I saw someone post and in their signature was the ligfhtweights board. I was blessed to find this board presurgery and you will find it so helpful. Things I bought that I rarely use: small blender, shaker bottles, many of the samples of protein as I wanted to sample a lot of fruity flavors (hated them after surgery). Things that I use almost a year out....small plates and little bowls that I bought at Ikea. Small spoons and forks (baby ones or some I got at World Market). Insulated water cups. Different people use different stuff....you will figure it out. Some things I am thrilled to learn about on OH and that have saved me: protein coffee, protein ice cream, mixing SF pudding mix into greek yogurt, etc. Biggest piece of advice...read all you can presurgery.... You will do great!! ~~Jennifer HW/232 CW/147.2 GW/??? |
