Wow in the last couple of weeks I have learned
SO MUCH on these boards.
Now that I am getting more familiar with how the boards work I have been going back and reading some of the older messages.
There is so much sharing of knowledge and support from
PEACH PIT and
DEBKAY AND
JIFFY POP and
BEVMEL and
SO MANY OTHERS who were kind enough to reply to my posts with important information.
Right now I am in the "losing weight in preparation" stage.
I can't believe I have been able to stick to an 800 calorie diet for the past week. But I just keep reminding myself that the operation (especially the hernia part of the operation) will be so much easier If I lose weight first.
When I do go ahead with the surgery I will post so you all will know what my experiences have been like.
I also look forward to your advice after the operation.
There are a lot of
ANGELS on these boards.
