Recommended Posts

My surgery date is 6/26/13

I just started my pre op diet wednesday....I am diabetic on all sorts of meds...I feel faint and weak...and light headed...

I keep thinking...can I do this? Is this right for me? Will my diabetes and low thyroid go away?

I wanna new chance on life!

Relax, don't over think the whole thing. The surgery is a breeze. As for your medical problems, that is all up to your doctor. I don't see any down side to increase your health. Most people say they would never change their decision. Once I went though it myself I must agree, wish I would have done it ealier. I never even thought of a surgery like this until my doctor suggested it,, it only took me a few days to decide this what I want and I never turned back. Good luck to you and wish you well.

I haven't taken metformin since surgery on 5/28 and my blood sugar has been consistently lower than 106 (and usually double digits).

You should read this: The pre-op diet is NOT a punishment ... it's an opportunity.

      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.

      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!!
