Great job. Even when I swim frequently, it takes me over an hour to swim 1 mile (36 laps/72 lengths) in the local pool.

When you posted that you were walking your dog in Chatham IL, I thought you meant the Chatham neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago.

Yes, I will be on the liquid diet for one week prior to surgery. The approval and pre-op process has taken almost a year. I lost track of how many doctor's appointments, studies, tests, and nutritional visits etc. I had been to somewhere in the mid 20's. But the process has given me a chance to get into better habits, lose some weight and get healthier going into the surgery.
There are a lot of role models on the RNY board in terms of consistent eating, exercise and treating others with respect. I enjoy reading it each day.

Exciting news for me last week. I received insurance approval and will have RNY on August 29th. It still seems far away, but I am sure that time will pass quickly as the date gets closer.

When doctors discontinue diabetes meds. do they usually continue to require daily testing?

Hi Daisy!
I want to thank you for the time that you invested in the RNY daily menu board. Like many, I am pre-op and trying to learn what to expect. When I came to OH this winter, your board was the first thing I began to follow and I have learned a lot.
Hope you are well.
