One week before surgery

By MariaW

· 531 views

well here I am, just one week before my sleeve surgery. I can honestly say I am very excited to get this over with. I'm also nervous about the gas pain that everyone talks about and also just pain in general. I'm afraid of dumping...and what that feels like. but all in all I am excited to get this thing going. Now the shakes have been hard. I can do them but I am starving and with Halloween here and gone having candy in the house didn't help. So I have had a couple small pieces of candy but have still managed to loss weight. I am down to 220.8 this morning. So YEAH its still working! I will make a solid effort to NOT eat anymore candy. Its really hard but I don't have to tell any of you that.

I know the surgery is my only chance.

I will try to post as much as possible from now on to let you all know how it is going.

any positive ideas on what we can eat afterwards would be great help....say prayers for me please that this goes well with no complications :-)

    oh wow.... are you on facebook at all? I am if you want to look me up..however I do not post anything on my facebook. I haven't told anyone I was having surgery because I don't want them to worry about me. I will tell them after the fact one day..... good luck with your surgery...how are you doing on the liquid diet? I was adding fruit to my shakes and I think I was not supposed to do that so I will not do that anymore.! gained 2 ounces yikes..I need to lose not gain!

    I am on Facebook, LaVerne West - feel free to find and add me. I have shared the news with everyone there.

    My surgeon doesn't require the liquid pre-op diet, lucky me! :) I'm just enjoying the countdown!

    5 days to go! ;)
