WELL WELL WELL WELL WELL WELL WELL WELL

updates: I need to be revised to RNY for GERD, etc.

Through extensive testing my issue was found to be *mechanical* in nature. Without disclosing too much personal medical information all I will say is would need to continue with mutiple invasive treatments over an extended period of time plus meds w/ a surgical procedure for an aux related issue or fix it all at one time with one procedure.

Y'all know what I'm gonna choose, right? Yeah...

Other than that it's a burden lifted to have relief within my grasp. Surgery is scheduled for 7/15 barring any complications/surprises

I'm already approved by insurance and I'm really shocked/dismayed because it took them just 2 lousy days... I was hoping my case wasn't that serious and I was just being dramatic/hypochondriac. But that approval coming back so fast really has opened my eyes. I should have gone in for this consult sooner maybe? Saved my summer? Whatevs.

Already in the dreaded 2 week preop diet.

No. Words.

Dante's unexplained layer of hell. Reserved for people who met goal but still need to shrink their livers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 but enough whining.

Here are lifestyle pics and pics of what I enjoyed while I could... Because liquids for quite a while

*disclaimer:

+ I NEVER eat sauce

+ I 💚 Kale (fight me)

+All Starbucks cups are homemade teas/protein shakes

+I do smile more often but not usually without cause because I'm conscious of preventing wrinkles

The 2 week liver shrinking diet is tough, I really am surprised you have to do it again. I thought it was required because when you are obese your liver is enlarged..

You got this, it does go by fast in hindsight, although in realtime it feels like slow-mo.

eta. You look fabulous.

So sorry you have to have another surgery but glad they will fix whatever you need fixed! GERD is a b***h. That, among others, is why I chose to have bypass. I love reading your posts and seeing your pictures. You just seem to have all the right answers! Good luck with your pre-op diet and surgery. I know you will do well!

Well done!!!![emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122] What an amazing and inspiring update!! If there's anyone that can ROCK a second surgery (especially given the discomfort) that would be YOU!! You are graceful, helpful and typically on point and I have gotten a lot of sensible nuggets from your posts!

Wishing you a very successful surgery and speedy recovery as you continue your journey of maintenance [emoji253][emoji253][emoji253][emoji253][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
