Early July Surgery date set
I am rather non-compliant so I'm def not the person to give advice. I was drinking broth so that helped w my salt craving even the reduced sodium was perfect. When I needed something to chew on, I would eat a few pieces of pre-packaged grilled chicken strips. I just stayed away from carbs. I lost more on the preop diet than I am post op. I lost 18 pounds on the preop and only lost 11 pounds post op and I've been in a stall since my first week.
Surgery scheduled for July 9 for VSG. I am 65, type 2 diabetic, high b/p, high cholesterol, COPD and numerous aches and pains..my first goal it to get off all the medications I am on and to get myself healthy..the weight loss is a side benefit. I am looking forward to having this done, but scared at the same time.
My VSG surgery is scheduled for July 14th!! I'm 49 and live in Oregon. My daughter is 28, and grand baby is 1. I also have a wonderful support system with my parents and daughter. Today I just finished all my requirements my insurance company required of me over the last three months. It would be great to keep in touch! Good luck!!
