Tomorrow I start the low carb until surgery date! I am so full right now and loving it. Excited to begin this next stage in my life. I was thinking 40 was old to get this surgery. Now I feel, it is just my beginning. Here's to a new start and healthy life!

Surgery 2/28 I am a little scared, but also excited. I was supposed to have the sleeve but my surgeon really feels RNY is much better as I have a hiatal hernia and Gerd.

Following my strict low carb diet. Constipated as heck! Ouch! Down 11 pounds with two weeks to go. Anticipating this surgery and praying for the best. I read some of the post op issues people have, and my fingers are crossed.

Hi Juliz 1972! I am all ready for my surgery! Date is this Friday and kinda nervous. Worried about my passion for food. I bought tons of the Atkins sweets and living off them :(. I have Clear Liquids the day before and that is it. I have gained tons of knowledge from this site and people sharing their experiences. You can email if you'd like. Cory1060@gmail.com. My name is Teri.

      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!!
