    ShaylaVSG13 got a reaction from cmelose100 in Hi ! My name is Pamela B. and I THINK I'm having a JULY surgery   
    I am also required to do a 6 month Pre Op program. During the program I will meet with my NUT 7 times, have 5 group sessions and 1 one on one with my surgeon. I have my psych eval scheduled for April 30th. I am in month 2. Hoping to have my surgery scheduled late July!!
    I am 5'10 and currently weighing in around 317. I started my journey at 319.8 so losing slowly right now but steady.
    Excited && hoping this Pre Op time goes quick

    My surgeon's office suggested we get one, but said it wasn't required. They said your anatomy has changed so if you were in an emergency and couldn't give medical history it could be important for personnel to know your stomach is smaller, and anatomy has changed. They gave us a website for "designer" bracelets that I really liked. http://www.laurenshope.com/ They also have nice ankle bracelets and necklaces.

    Good for you! Love your enthusiasm! Check with your NUT about gum though. I was told I can never chew gum again. It does the same as sucking through straws. I'm not a gum chewer anyhow so no loss for me but just be sure.

    Hi, you're off to a great start! Just keep in mind that if you do "screw up", it's okay, just pick yourself up and get right back on the wagon. I use to say, oh well I screwed up so I might as well wait til tomorrow to start again. Don't do that....that's just sabotaging yourself. Just remind yourself you're human and will make mistakes from time to time, but you learn from them. I hope you have a successful journey! You're surgery date will be here before you know it.

    I had my FIRST pre-surgery doctor appointment yesterday. I met with the nutrition specialist and talked with her for about two hours about the things that I will have to start including in my diet and some advice on what I need to cut out of my diet now. I am very excited to start this journey. Altho, I am a little nervous I think it is normal.
    I set a goal to work on over the next month. I will not "graze" during the day and while putting away dinner leftovers. The only Snacks that I will have during the day are PRE PLANNED snacks, they have already been accounted for in my total calories and Protein totals for the day If i have a craving for something that is NOT planned, I will drink a glass of Water and have a piece of minty gum to distract my taste buds.
    Also, I have started my food Jounal! I think this tool will be extremely helpful to me !
