Surgeon Testimonial

Garth Davis M.D.
Dr. Davis was not what I had expected after watching 'Big Medicine'. He was professional, no nonsense and confident. He asked if I had any questions and the question that I did have was more of a concern or worry. He answered my question and told me not to worry. With the confidence that he exhibited that worry was alleviated at that moment. What more could a person ask for? He is serious about follow up care and support meetings and rightfully so.

The office staff seemed helpful, nice and patient.

Where oh where do I start

well, I have not posted in some time.  The sugery and hospitalization went well.  A couple of scares with oxygen sats and incision draining, but no real big deal.  I met TanyaRN, she is a beautiful person.  Ofcourse I had the best surgeon and DH was at my side all the time.

Now the work begins......what to eat, when to eat, when to stop eating, when to drink, what to drink, how to drink????

I experienced my first case of the foamies on a popsicle of all things.....not something you could ever explain to another person.

Very little pain anywhere, but I still used my meds just in case LOL.

This is a very emotional time for me........its alot like the day after christmas when all the 'breew haha' is over'.  I sure I'll get over it when I see the scale continue to drop lower and lower.

One of the most difficult things the last week has been to focus on the task at hand.  I always find myself fantasizing about the finish line rather than realizing that we all have to start somewhere.  I have decided to enjoy each step along the way rather than wish them away.

1 week and counting

I am sure that the question on most of your minds is have I cheated on the liquid diet.  Judge for your self

I have had usually 3 (190 cal each) but occacsionally 4 slimfast low carbs a day, 1 slice of pizza 1 day and 2 baby pickles another, 1 day I drank 5 cans of slim fast low carb.  The goal is less that 800-1000 cals a day.

I remind myself that a month from now I could be 30-40lbs lighter frequnetly.
