Oh honey.......believe me I understand about getting in a few good bites before the big day.I would like to put in a good effort but I can forsee having a 'last supper' within boudaries, myself before my date. People on this site seem to say that it will easier to control the eating patterns that got us here in the first place. I hope they are right....I sure don't want to lose only to gain again as I have done in the past

HI Geogria
My surgeon has not put us on a "diet" or told us we needed to lose weight. He just said not to have a series of "last suppers" - which I might be doing. Are you doing RNY? My surgeon thinks he can do my surgery laprascopic although there is a slight chance he might have to go open because I've had gallbladder surgery (the old fashioned way) and have a scar across my stomach. So it depends on scar tissue. I am dedicated to giving it my all after surgery - but right now I'm enjoying my last few bites of the foods I love. I dont' think I'm going overboard.

Hey Sharmie
My date is 9/13....and sometimes it just doesn't seem real to me. I can hardly believe that in a few weeks, I'll be doing something so wonderful that will have such a positive influence on my life!!! I have only recently started posting here and I have read some really great things and some people seem to have formed online friendships. So I look forward to talking to you along this journey for both of us

Hi Juliee
Thanks for responding..I was feeling all alone out there!! I am following a diet given by the nutritionist at the hospital where I'll be having my surgery. As a matter of fact, I'm sitting here kinda hungry now!! She said that I should try to have 'tunnel vision' and focus on making it sucessfully to surgery and not having to have an open proceedure. I'm not sure how much I've lost so foar, but she assured me that if I follow the plan I should be ok by 9'13.
I also think alot about what foods I'd like to be eating and may not be able to have again. I just pray that I can change my eating habits enough to lose weight and to keep it off ( we have all lost weight, have'nt we?) I am actually throwing in some exercise also. I figure this is my BIG chance to lose and I really want to make the most of it.
Will your surgeon try to do an open rny if you have not lost?
Topic: RE: 9/11 is the day!
When I found out I have September 11th as my surgery date, I also thought about the meaning of that date. For a few seconds. Then I decided that I'd rather celebrate Sept 11th every year as my new birthday. It will be a GOOD day for me from now on.
Good luck to all of us!
Topic: RE: September 1st
Hi Jessica - my surgery is Sept. 6 and I'm not having second thoughts because I know I don't have a choice if I want to continue to live --BUT I am nervous (BIG TIME). I just keep thinking about the end results and try not to concentrate on what it's going to take to get there. Good luck to you. I have added you to my prayer list.
Topic: RE: surgery date
HI Michelle - I just looked at your profile. It sounds like you've been waiting awhile. Congrats on finally getting a date. I am a self pay so I didn't have to jump through the insurance hoops - but on the other hand, I didn't have to lose some weight beforehand, which is bad. I've actually gained some. I need to figure out how to do a profile so I can do a journal. Have a good week-end.
