Half way through pre-op checklist



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

I guess I'll share a little about me... I'm 29, I'm married for the second time and we have a 14 month old that I'm running after 100% of the time when we're at home. I have PCOS and I'm diabetic. My current weight is 305 from my last doctor visit.

I decided on the RNY procedure and I'm more excited than anything!!

I had my consult on the last day in November, met with the psychiatrist, had my panel of blood tests done and my EDG is Thursday. The reality of all this is settling in and I'm pushing myself to get a grip on eating better pre-op so I have that mindset post op. I have a total of 3 weigh-ins and I'm on #2 today.

It's not a ton left to do so I'm playing the waiting game.

You'll do great. I am so much more fun to my kids now, and they love their new mommy.

I had RNY and love it. I spent one night in the hospital and was back at work in five days.

Congrats!

Set better eating goals for yourself now, but START and start small so you set yourself up for success. If you don't drink Protein Shakes start now so you start dropping some of the weight before you start your liver reduction diet. It will make it easier when you do. Try Premier Protein shakes they are the highest in Protein. I had to play the waiting game to but can't believe I'm on the other side! Soon you will be too!:)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
