Looking for April 15-16-17 people



Recommended Posts

I hate the meds too! Absolutely a perfectionist but with everything except my health. I was always the girl that was big but active. I ran circles around my skinny friends, it made no sense to me. Then with PCOS and insulin resistance, it makes more sense. The meds suck, but I have been in really tight control of my blood glucose levels for awhile now. I am tired of depending on medication to be functional, I am ready to move on from that part of my life. All of the nervousness is overshadowed with excitement.

Hey Ladies I'm on April 15th as well, very over whelmed and excited. Been on a liquid pre op diet for two weeks and that has been a roller coaster ride of emotions. I'm here for support and also would love to get it and keep up with everyone that is going through the same thing as me! :)

SIX MORE DAYS

I am anxious every day!!

My liver reduction diet is going well.... it is hard to get 64oz of Water in. Some days I do, and some days I am getting in 50 though.

My liver diet is very simple (too simple) and it allows for 2oz of lean meat - in which I fail and have been eating 4 at times!!! 4 is still low, and it is mostly protien. But starting today, I am curbing that. I have not deviated in any other way and am still losing. I am down about 34 lbs since Superbowl (about 8.5 wks).

I have made a list of all the things i want to bring to surgery (cell phone, charger, chapstick, brush, backscratcher...stuff like that) and I will be scrubbing the hell out of the house this week so that I wont need to clean for a bit once I am home.

I AM scared though....very scared. I think constantly about potential complications (mostly adhesions and things that are out of anyone's control). I know people who have had bad complications and now that I know so much about WLS, I can attrubute many of their complications to things they did wrong or defied their doctors. I wont be doing things wrong.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
