I think bypass has more of a metabolic impact and will definitely help with insulin resistance

Congrats! I will be right there with you in May! 5/16/2016!

Isn't the bypass usually a better option for pcos? Maybe I am wrong.

Day 4 of the preop diet! I'm feeling like I can do this at the moment! I have my Egd on Friday and hopefully that will go ok. Going strong! 26 more preop days (ugh)

I think I like the idea of getting the biggest size at a normal size clothing store and just trying it on periodically until it fits and then I know I can shop there

So I had thought I wasn't having surgery for months and so I signed up for a pottery class that starts the week of my surgery. Now I can't really get out of it. So obviously that first week I can't do it but do you think four days after surgery I would be up to going to the pottery studio and just listening to the demo? And then the next week do you think I would be able to sit down and lean over a potter's wheel? I won't throw anything too big that required strength or anything.

Thanks!

I'm on May 16! I started preop diet yesterday! I hope I make it through the month!!

Today is day 2 for me and I have to be on this a month. I hope I can do it! I'm so tired. I'm not supposed to have caffeine so I am trying to drink extra Water in hopes that it will give me energy and I am putting my Protein powder into decaf coffee in the mornings so I have a mocha Luckily, my diet is not as extreme as some. I get 5 Optifast drinks a day and then 1 meal with 3 oz of meat and 1 cup of veges, 1 tsp olive oil, and 1 small fruit. So I am really consuming like 1100-1200 calories per day but it is still really hard for me, especially when I think about the fact that this will last a month. I worked yesterday and today and then will work tomorrow and Tuesday. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing to be working the first few days. On the one hand, I have less time to think about it, on the other hand I am tired and wish I could nap! Good luck everyone! Kat

Wow! That is a really long road!

Oh we start diet on same day!

How long is everyone's preop diet?

May 16!!! I can't believe it!

I'm being annoying. I could hear it in the office manager's voice. She seems pretty confident that the surgery will go as scheduled though and says she will send my my appointment schedule today. My meeting with the dietitian to prep for optifast is Friday!

I will. I won't be on pain meds because I am allergic but AM worried about the discomfort of bending over. I think I meet with surgeon on Friday and will ask his opinion

Yeah it is just a one hour demo with 2 hours of practice after I think

I would try and find a way to bring it up in a conversation but then I have a habit of being TOO transparent so I don't know. I'm glad you guys are having fun though!

Now I am playing the waiting game again because we had to resubmit now that the surgeon has changed lol

Ooooooo can't stand the waiting! I have been talking myself out of calling all day long. If I don't hear back by tomorrow morning I will call though because I need to know whether to go to the optifast class on Thursday

That's cute that your son said "don't die today"

Wow! How scary!!

That is so sad, especially because she leaves 3 kids behind. I have a weird outlook because I am not afraid of pain or death. I am afraid of a lot of things but not that. So I am more worried about my heart being broken than about being murdered. But I AM cautious when I first start dating someone. I guess the scariest part about this case to me is that it happened after a few dates, right around the time when I start feeling comfortable/relaxing around someone. So I probably would have allowed us to be alone too!

The last guy I dated, I was with for over a year when I learned he had lied about his name and age and failed to mention that he was a registered sex offender due to multiple felonies involving under aged girls so I really know how to pick them (or maybe they know how to pick me because those are the guys that ask me out!)

He wasn't married, I have been to his house and met his coworkers and friends etc. the one weird thing is that he did not want to go to church with me?! (Because he said he needed to go to confession but then he would never go!) so yeah I definitely think it is potential bs in the sense that he wanted to break up and didn't have a good reason so he came up with one. Basically, he is a commitment phobe. I'm still friends with him on Facebook but we are not really talking at the moment

I plan to find myself a good tailor
