pre op was today, got some good news



Recommended Posts

I was so nervous last night about my pre op that I couldn't even sleep a wink. I don't know why I was nervous, everything is already approved, and I have lost all of my pre op weight requirement, but I still couldn't shut off the 'what if' voice in my head. The fear of not actually being able to get this surgery at the last minute and all the different reasons why kept running through my mind; instead of the cute little sheep I should have been counting.

Anyhow, my meeting at the doctors office went great and my doctor told me that I could add one egg and one stick of string cheese to my diet a day!! I'm so happy. I have been drinking just Protein Shakes for 9 days now and only cheated with sugar free fudge pops, which my doctor said was ok. (yes I told on myself) He was very pleased with my pre op weight loss as well.

I have the best knews about my deductable/copay for the surgery! I pay NOTHING!!! Can't believe its true but it is! woohoo! So now I'm down to six days and counting till surgery day. Can't wait to rock my sleeve...:D

That is awesome news all around. I would probably kiss my doctor's toes if he said I could have an egg and some cheese. I'm just wrapping up day 1 of 2 weeks of liquids.

Congrats to you!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
