New year, new me!



Recommended Posts

Hi all!! Just got my surgery date for jan 9, 2018!! My starting weight was 350 and now I’m down to 333 with diet,, I’m 5’9,,, I stopped my pop cold turkey 4 months ago,, boy that was rough!! My hubby is 305 and very against this procedure,, so not only am I dealing with the stress of the surgery, I’m dealing with my husband being very jealous, insecure and talking very negative about going through with this surgery,, I focus 100% on my upcoming appointments and surgery date and can’t wait till the liquid diet starts the day after Christmas ( saying this sarcastically),, can’t wait to ring in the new year with the new me!!

Good luck to you! I'm glad you're staying positive. Hopefully your husband becomes more supportive. I'd maybe seek counseling if not. We all need a support system! 2018 will be great!

Hello I am waiting for my surgery appointment and then surgery date, I am happy and nervous. My husband tried to stop me, but explain him about my health issues and now he is saying he feel sorry of what I will not eat. I don’t care I want to feel healthy.

That’s my mantra too! (New Year, new me!). I am getting sleeved on 1/2/18. When are you having your surgery? I am currently on day 6 of the pre-op diet.

I’m having RNY and scheduled for Feb 5. I felt compelled to respond to your post because my husband has not been very supportive either. I’m 5’1”, 51 yrs old - 290 lbs. my highest weight was 312 lbs. My husband is 315 lbs, has diabetes, sleep apnea, copd, heart disease, fatty liver disease and has no desire to lose weight. Today.. he started asking questions about my upcoming surgery. He ended the conversation by saying “I really wish you wouldn’t get skinny”. I really don’t know how to take that comment. I just want to be healthy.
I started this process for the 2nd time in January 2017. The first time was 3 years ago and about 3 months into the program, I quit because I wasn’t happy with the clinic.
I’m sorry for rambling. Let’s keep in touch! I welcome any advice and will gladly share my thoughts too! Congratulations!!
Susan

      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!

      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!!
