Tomorrow Is Last Day Of Pre-Op Diet And Wed. Surgery



Recommended Posts

Almost there, woohoo. Tomorrow is last day of pre-op diet, cheated once (dr okayed it), had a salad from Arby's and let me tell you it was the best darn salad I've ever eaten...lol I wasn't able to eat the entire thing so I ate the rest of it the next day. Didn't use their dressings, had a low cal., low sugar vinaigrette one. Well, Wednesday is almost here and I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 a.m. to check in. I usually do not rise till 9:30 in the morning so 4:30ish will come early.

Off the subject, I was typing in "www.lapbandtalk.com" and it comes up that the website is suspended and I cannot access it. The only way I could post this was that I rec'd an email that someone had responded to a previous post I had made and I clicked on the link...strange. Anyone else having trouble???

Thanks

Donna

well today has gone well with the last day of liquids or shall I say pre op diet. Getting kind of nervous about tomorrow and lets just say along with my chronic insomnia that I take meds for I'm freaking out about getting to sleep early tonight. I'm already having anxiety about sleeping, not the surgery go figure. I mean yes I'm a little nervous about the surgery but I look at it as a new birthday and a new lease on life. But now coming down to the wire, I'm leaving the house in less than 12 hrs and so much to do to try and make it as easy on my mom who will be taking care of me post op, (don't have a hubby anymore) okay breathe, take it easy, relax, there, right?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
