Re: 5/31/06 Question of the Day

Post Ops:

What advice can you offer the newbies?

Most importantly, you have to deal with the emotional issues that brought you

to where you are.... the sooner you start on that, the better you and your

surgery will go, as well as after surgery for successful weight loss. It's a

huge life change. You will be faced with many things and come to realize even

more of your eating pattern from before the surgery. Thats good, turn it into a

positive not a depression in what you did before... thats all over now, just use

it as a postive that you are aware and use it to make the change.

Then you of course need your fluids, vitamins, and exercise like CLOCK work

every day... this is extrememly important!!!! Makes all the difference.

Last, I suggest a schedual time of eating and sticking to it. PROTIEN PROTIEN

PROTIEN... my surgeon told me the other day that if I ate protien alone, I would

lose weight, add your water, exercise and a GREAT attitude each day and you

will really be going places.

Do not get discouraged, remember we are changing many things and it takes time

to process and make changes. best wishes!! Keep us updated!!
