    Hi Pat
    It's so wonderful to hear from you and to learn youre doing great. I still remember how sick you got with the soup from the taco stand do you remember that ?? . Of course I would like to see you some time in the near future just keep in touch
  4. thank you for your reply, I guess we all go through stuff that we don't think we can get past, but loosing your mom is much harder, we loss all 4 parents in a two month span, my mom and dad both passed from kidney disease, and I was diagnosed with kidney disease last yr before my surgery and give 2 yrs to live, so that is why I had the surgery. and when i went to the drs 2 mo ago he told me that I have a new lease on life because of the surgery, and my ins wouldn't cover any of it, I had to borrow the money. but in one yrs time, my life has changed around, but I guess I am just bored with my life right now and need to get involed with more in my community. I feel a bit better this week, I joined a bowling league and I am considering volunteering at the humane society, but I worry cause i will bring home animals that may be put down, and then my husband would kill me!! I already have three strays that we took in. lol. but thank you so much for your resonse, Thanks Danielle!!

    I read your reply on depression and can relate. A year before my sleeve I lost my mom, she was my life....
    Now I live every day "have no regrets". That's the only solace I have in life kind of a long story but still. I hope this gives you something. Best of wishes. Danielle

    happy holidays to you and your family xoxo
  13. well I called and Dr. Kelly called me back concerning the diet, i was on so many meds that there was no way I could do just liquids. He told me that because of my weight, that I didn't have to do the full liquid diet, that I could eat foods, and have liquids including protein shakes. Then the night before surgery he said liquids only until 1. I just ate light. the menu did consist of salads, fruits, and chicken breast. I remember you telling me that you were about my size, what about Joyce? Maybe call Trish and ask her to have Dr. Kelly call you. don't be afraid to ask. I was persistant.

    Oh yes we are nevous, I guess you would say we have anxiety. Today I called a former doctors office that uses mostly natural remedies, thinking I could get some Bariatric Advantage items,,,and oh my golly.....Cindy the most educated lady in the office said..."DON'T DO IT ROXANN!" Then she went into all of the other ways I could lose weight. For a few moments she had me scared and maybe she's right. But I tried their way a few years ago, and have done several other diet programs since then.......so I said to her....if these ways are better then why wasn't I able to stick to it? She said....well Roxann there's probably a few reasons why not,,,,then we went right back to NOT EATING WRONG FOODS.....duhhhh! I don't know what is best....only God does. Whewwwwwww getting heavy here huh? Anyway we are on the liquid diet until tomorrow, then clear liquids after that.
    I heard from another person that went to Dr. Kelly and she had salads, chicken breast and protein drinks for her pre op diet.....that's not at all like ours. What did you have, do you remember?

    Wow, thank you so much for the information last night. You are a very kind and informative lady! I have shared the info you gave me with my friend that is doing the Medifast program with me. I have more research to do, but I did a lot last night after we talked. Dr. Kelly has a nice personality, I like that, but most of all that he is facilitated in a hospital!!
    God Bless,
    Roxann

Hey everyone I feel like a different person! went to my closets and took out a ton of clothes, tried everything on! and I do mean everything. it made a difference as to who I really see now in that mirror.

I have piles. and i mean piles of clothes to get rid of, some for resale, some for friends,
