Thanks so much

wanted to thank everyone with thier ideas and info to help me with the preop weight loss. At this point after much thinking and pondering I think I am going to check into a local weigh****chers. Tomorrow I have my cardiac clearance at the WLS so maybe I will weigh when I go and be able to tell if what I am doing is helping. If I get good results then I will just keep up with what I am doing. I have increased my treadmill time to 40 minutes and trying to get my heart rate up to 112 for about a minute then bring it down then bring it up. Im drinking more water and feeling better each day. Annie PS where is Melissa Russel? has anyone heard from her?

Annie Hello, I just posted and wanted to say hello to everyone. I am feeling great slightly sore but each day it is getting better. I get to start on food today so I am going to have mashed potato's for lunch (yippie). Totally excited after 8 weeks of liquids. I went for my first week check in to get my staples and drain out and had lost 21 lbs. I go back and see him on the 24th of May. Thanks to everyone who signed my surgery page and for their prayers. I really appricated each and everyone of them!!! God Bless Melissa Annie how are you doing?? I have been thinking of you and wonder how goes it. Drop me a email when you get the chance so I can catch up with ya. lol Good luck Melissa

Its interesting why some Dr.'s want you to lose weight prior to surgery and others don't. Is it becasue of the fatty liver?? Do all all obese have this?? I am having Open RNY......maybe they can just grab my fatty liver and pu**** aside while they work on my stomach!! I was told my surgeon has little hands and he only makes the incision about 3 inches. I chuckle to myself when I think of that! Its probably a good idea also to get you ready for life after if they start you dieting and exercising. Everday I have been trying to think what else yummy can i eat. I feel bloated and quite honestly look forward to not wanting to eat. That sounds like too much work to me...I'm going back to bed now! Jennnifer
