September 22 sleever



Recommended Posts

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow, and I am panicking big time! What if I can't do it???? I mean, willpower is not really my friend... I could use a surgery buddy, badly! I am 58 year old female, and bmi is at 37, so of course I worry I should just diet and lose it all, which of course I can't. anyone just going to start their preop diet and feeling the same way?

Where are you in Texas? Who is doing your surgery? I am almost 54, BMI 40, and I don't have willpower either. I know it's hard. I don't have my surgery date yet and my pre-op diet will only be 3 days but I am going to be nervous about sticking to it as well.

My first post here, but my excitement about my surgery on the 22nd has overcome my reticence. Unlike many, I don't have to do a pre-op diet (except for the usual no food or Water after midnight the day before surgery). I am apprehensive about what the first week will be like, but I have several friends who have been down this road ahead of me, so I know that there is a new normal waiting after the liquid diet and the soft, mushy diet.

I, too, am in Texas, but I will be having surgery in Houston. I keep thinking of Sept. 22 as my liberation day. I will finally have the opportunity to beat the weight issues I've had all my life.

Good luck to you!!! Great way to describe it- Liberation Day!

This body has served me well and made four beautiful babies. But now it's time to find me again, lurking somewhere under all these soft rolls. Had my pre-op appt today, and am all set for 26th! 5 days to go!!!

How are you doing, Diana TX? I had a bad case of cold feet yesterday and would have bolted out of the pre-op area if my best friend hadn't been there to keep me honest. Back home now, and although I'm sore, no problems so far. Hope all is well with you.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
