sarahd2014 reacted to LipstickLady in How many didnt follow the pre opt diet BE HONEST
My pre-op diet was supposed to be for two weeks, but I chose to follow it for a month. No cheating. I figured if I'd had enough food in my 42 years to be as fat as I was, I certainly didn't need more. I was READY to be healthy and I was anxious to get started.
So no, no cheating here, and I went into surgery knowing I did everything I could to ensure that my procedure was going to be a safe as I could make it.

Hi,
I don't want this to come out negative, but I'm concerned Sailor girl that you talk about being banded as the "last chance at life". I know we have to get really low with our weight out of control before we will consider WLS. And that's a better place to be at to make this decision than to act like it's the diet of the month, because it is hughly important decision. Many things that were typical before surgery are impacted by the decision. Even 19 months later I'm like, "Damn, damn, damn, I can't eat with my coffee!" after taking a bite of food. Like you'd think I'd know that by now.
But let me caution you that if you're like me, you'll wake up in the same bed with the same bills showing up and the same yard to mow and the same family members who love and annoy you; like you have always had. While WLS does cure the weight (if you follow the rules) weight isn't the only thing going on in our lives that gives us trouble. Those things will still be waiting for the skinny you.
The up side however is that skinny you will have more energy and determination to handle those troubles.
Best of luck and keep us posted.
Thanks BTW, to all you Mt. C people who let me hang out here. I'm OSU.
