TanyaK Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Absolutely! I'm super pumped! I'm starting my pre-op diet today (Monday). They want me to lose 14 pounds before surgery. How's your diet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaB Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I was concerned about the 13 lbs so I started Friday I believe and down 8 lbs must be a lot of water lol - it's a very limited diet and I'm still waiting on my suppliments to arrive to Canada. So wonderful to have others who know the struggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elleelle Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 1 hour ago, LindaB said: It's only my 3rd day of liquids, and I'm feeling pretty hungry. But it's manageable! I've been going to bed earlier, because that's when I am the most hungry! I'm down over ten pounds and very close to my desired surgery weight.

TanyaK Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Does anyone know what level of air we're suppose to reach with our incentive spirometer exercises? I'm pretty sure it's different for men & women but I can't find instructions from OCC anywhere. thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
