Pre-Op Accountability Challenge



Recommended Posts

Let's post daily to be accountable and keep each other motivated.

My pre-op goals are 35 grams of Fiber, 60 grams of Protein, 64 oz Water and 30 minutes of exercise. YAY!! I met my goals all my goals for today. With the assistance of Protein shakes and fiber supplements. I dusted off my P90 dvd and popped it in. I'm so excited and tired!! Haven't exercised in awhile but I made the big step of getting started again! First small steps to big changes for the rest of my life! I'm counting this as my official day 1 of pre-op diet. 15 days left!!

Hello!

Sounds like you are back on track for your March surgery. I saw an earlier post that you were going to have to wait until December due to insurance issues.

I had my surgery in Tifton on 2/12 and am doing great! I have an appt. with Dr. Smith tomorrow and should get my first fill. Did you know they are starting a support group tonight?

Will you be attending the group? I was so glad to find out that if I had previous insurance coverage before this policy my pre-existing condition exclusion would be waived. That's how I was able to get back on track! Glad to hear all is well with you! I asked Dr. Smith if I would have anything in my band initially he said no. Hope you get a good fill tomorrow!!. Were you hungry much?

I did attend the support group. There were five of us there--everyone there had already had surgery. It will the second Tuesday of each month. Maybe you can attend next month. I get hungry sometimes but not too bad.

      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!!
