Day 9 of my pre-op diet.
I will be good today. I will be good today. I will be good today. OH WOW THAT food SMELLS GOOD. I will be good today. I will be good today.
Hehehehe. I hope others are doing better than me. I had ham fried rice last night. ARGHHHH.

Here's a before and after

Im hearing you Chelle. Also cheated on day 5/14 of diet. Last night I was about to start chewing my own arm off. I actually felt posessed when reaching for food I knew I shouldn't be having. Totally out of control hunger and craving. Feel terrible about it. I know I have a problem. Almost like this surgery won't work for me cos I can't even stick to my pre-op diet. Urgh. :-(

Don't whip yourself. We are in this position of needing help becuase we have had a hard time moderating our food, and you have been put on really limited caloric intake without the benefit of the surgery yet. I would be frank with your surgeon so he/she can determine if this will impose any saftey issues with the surgery. You must protect your health. Think about ways you will cope the next time you get really hungry and have those measures ready (like lots of broth)

All the best...exciting times! Looking forward to reading about how it all went.

That's true! But I don't think it was fair nor very nice from "Turn the page" with her comment "it sounds like your setting yourself up for failure" I'm down 41 pounds in just 4 weeks!!! I posted our diet sheet and I know I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to do! Isn't this about supporting one another not shouting out negative remarks? I think I'm doing damn good and that comment hurt!!

I still have a hard time seeing it for myself. This the silliest thing...I first noticed it with my necklace. It used to alway be right at my collar bone. It keeps getting lower. I can actually see it when I look down!

We have the same date!!!! Three more days of normal food before our lives change forever. Im so excited I can't stand it!!! Good luck to you!!

Im scheduled for 21st Oct with pre-op diet starting on the 7th. Super excited, but nervous too. Im actually viewing the 21st like the beginning of my new life. I can't wait to finally start being free of the fat and everything else I battle because of it. Good luck to you all.

YAY!! Im scheduled for October 22nd!! Start my preop diet on thr 8th & bloodwork/ preop appt is on the 15th! Im so excited its finally happening!!

Woohoo!!! Finally got my surgery date and it's in October!!!! I was beginning to freak out because the surgeons office seemed to be dragging their feet. My date is October 23rd!!! Anyone share that date with me? I had my labs/chest X-ray/EKG/pre-admission done today and my class is Monday! So excited that I don't have to switch to the November thread!

Hi everyone! Surgery was scheduled for 10 am but actually got taken back at 930am. Everything went well and right now just weak and tired. Pain level is about a 4 but my medicine trigger/buzzer had been my best friend....lol. I am officially on the losers bench.

I wasn't sure if I was going to make it an October date but I did! October 22nd.

Hi guys. Just got my date today and surgery is in less than 3 weeks on the 21st. Excited and nervous. Start pre-op diet next week.

Move over ladies.. I have 7 days to go. This time next week, I will be kicking fat's @ss,
Also I decided to wear my bear pajamas to the hospital.

In the past when I took a bath and drained the Water there would still be water behind me when I stood up because my body acted like a dam. Today I stood up and all the water had already drained out!! My body is no longer as wide as our tub!!! WooHoo!!

My insurance company just acknowledged the receipt of my application. They told me I'll have an answer on whether or not I've been approved in 5 working days. It's going to be the longest 5 days ever!

OK - major reality check. If you follow the protocol as closely to the letter as you possibly can, you will lose weight. Period. Science and the laws of the universe cannot be denied. An awful lot of folks who have an awful lot of education have done and continue to do an awful lot of research and an awful lot of testing and have proven the success of RnY beyond any shadow of a doubt. RnY has been around for more than 30 years. There is absolutely no doubt that it is the single most effective treatment known to medical science for obesity, type2 diabetes, and more than 30 comorbidities associated with obesity. No doubt.
Stop wasting your energy on Reese's testing. Forget about testing dumping. Some very successful RnY patients n e v e r experience dumping. There is a very long list of benefits from RnY and not a single one of them is attributed to dumping. There is absolutely no scientific evidence that folks who experience dumping are any more or less successful than those who don't. Dumping has nothing to do with success.
Your goal is physical change but your challenge is mental discipline. Stay positive. Stay patient. And again, stay focused on following the protocol as closely to the letter as you possibly can. Success starts with realistic expectations. Focus all of your energy on these things. Irrational fear and "self testing" is not realistic, it's not sustainable and it's most certainly not healthy. The only thing standing between you and success is you.
Now, right this moment, realize and accept the fact that your body is going to find its own way in its own time. There are going to be times when you lose weight quickly. Times when you lose slowly. And YES, there will be times when you don't lose at all (stalls). You KNOW it's coming. You KNOW it's perfectly normal. You KNOW that you cannot change the reality. Trying to do so is a waste of time. Panicking when what you KNOW is coming eventually comes, is irrational and pointless.
Do not wait too long to seek professional help with your fears. You've come a very long way already. The finish line is in sight. There's no shame in seeking help from highly skilled, highly educated professionals who help folks conquer similar challenges every single day. Take responsibility for your own success. In the words of Winston Churchill, "It is of no use saying we are doing the best we can. Success means doing what is necessary".
You're gonna love the new you!!
