Guest guest Posted January 5, 2001 Report Share Posted January 5, 2001 5 days and counting Hi there! I just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. Hubby and I have decided to make some changes18 hou to stay healthy do something together. I picked up the book at the library after seeing an article in my Dad's " Modern Maturity " magazine and I read it to my husband on our 18 hour drive to a cruise. We read it again on the way home 10 days later and ordered or shakes and challenge guides the day after Christmas. We went and bought a treadmill, bike and some weights and prepared to begin the challenge on January first. Hubby, Stan is 35 and just wants to lose a few pounds and become more defined, I on the other hand have struggle with my weight for years and have about 100 to lose. I am tired of the way I look and feel! I have tried various things and haven't stuck with it due to distractions and true lack of commitment. We are so excited to find the bodies we once had and we Welcome and Stan. You will not regret the choice you made and the lifestyle you will create. All the best!

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I'm scheduled to do pre-ops on the Oct 3. Looks like we will be there at the same time! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I'm having troubles with the pre-op diet. That makes me worried.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Dear Tim, What type of difficulties are you having with the preop diet? Let us know what the issues are, and I am sure that someone on the list here will have some suggestions for you on how to cope! Best Wishes, P. > > I'm scheduled to do pre-ops on the Oct 3.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Tim: I was banded on Monday- Sept. 25. Yes, the Pre Op diet was rather difficult for me, but don't let it freak you out. All the anxiety and nervousness was mostly put to ease by the staff there at the clinic. The nurses and doctors were really friendly and understanding. You will find the whole experience a postive one. The most difficult was the the immediate recovery time from surgery. I was pretty groggy and in some pain. With constant walking and breathing exercises I have started to recover nicely. I still have some gas and shoulder pain, but they say that will go away. Now the challenge is getting use to all the liquids for the next several weeks and learning to understand the needs of my body in regards to hunger, etc. Words of advice: pack light (I took too much). Don't forget to take slippers to the hospital. You may also want to take a nice robe or pajamas. Good Luck -- Mike in Washington > > I'm scheduled to do pre-ops on the Oct 3.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Oh Donna, I love your spunk and sense of humor. I'll be praying for you! And all who treat you. Â e, mom to 'joe' 22 poly/lupus/? From: ajaoky@... <ajaoky@...> Subject: 5 days and counting , ajao_young_adults Date: Wednesday, February 11, 2009, 8:17 PM time is moving rather quickly and Monday will soon be here. That means I return to the hospital for my knee replacement. I am getting nervous given my problems with anesthesia but I know it must be done. When I cant go to the mall, grocery, walk at the river, etc without wanting to fall over in a matter of 5 minutes its time. The knee has been injected 8 times and it just doesnt work as well so the only option is a new knee or a new chair and being a bit stubborn I am taking the surgery option. For anyone who has been through the knee surgery send all the good stuff. LOL I have met with anesthesia at the hospital and our first plan is to do an epidural, if for some reason it does not take we will attempt and awake intubation so please wish me luck. I have a call in to my docs tomorrow to make sure I am a go due to this horrible, lagging cold. I still have a scratchy throat and mild cough so I hope we can proceed. Funny thing is doc said after this surgery I can ride a bike, which I have not done in years and best of all ?I can swim...lmao, I have not swam in my entire life due to inability?so I told the doc I cant wait...doc said silly girl you have to know how first....oh well...guess I wont be swimming....

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Oh Donna, I hate to see you or well I dont litteraly SEE you going through this but am concerned and thinking of you for sure. I really hope that it all goes well and that once the new knee is in, that the pain that leaves will make all of this beforehand stuff worth it....

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi Donna, Just a few days away, now! Your fears are definitely understandable but you've carefully considered this. You've weighed the risks versus benefits. Sought the advice of doctors you trust. You've done all your homework. I just hope that this time around, the intubation procedure will go much more smoothly - and the surgery itself too, of course. That last experience was really quite frightening, even for those of us who weren't anywhere near your hospital. This time, hopefully, there will be no surprises and no complications. Once you've recuperated, I think you should join an aquatics class at the local Y. Then, sign up for swimming lessons! In our thoughts, Georgina 5 days and counting time is moving rather quickly and Monday will soon be here. That means I return to the hospital for my knee replacement. I am getting nervous given my problems with anesthesia but I know it must be done. When I cant go to the mall, grocery, walk at the river, etc without wanting to fall over in a matter of 5 minutes its time.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 , running , you bet. Swimming, not so sure. The one time I did sign up for Y water classes it was quite hilarious. A friend and I decided it would be fun to join the water walk class. This class consisted of tai chi type exercises along with pool walking. This meant the entire pool, not only the shallow end. Not being able to keep myself above water in anything over 5 foot I knew it would be a challenge but what the hey. I put on a swim belt, like the one they put on kiddies in the swim lesson classes so I knew I would be ok. WRONG! I think I am the first and only person who went under the water with the safety belt on!! The lifeguard and class leader were distraught and now I know the shame of being kicked out of class! That was many years ago and today I am still traumatized. LOL. The odd thing is I love water.....so long as it is not over my head.... I love to go boating, and sit and walk the shorelines but swim.....maybe someday... Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
