ME TO ....OCT 23RD IM SO NERVOUS AND EXCITED WOO HOOO....

im nervous and excited as well....had surgery originally scheduled for july 25 but then it got denied...hopeing it gets approved this time since i am having the surgery the insurance wants me to have....will be super excited as soon as i get my approval notice in the mail...lol....congrats on the date...we can do this together...

 I received my call this morning.. I am scheduled for October 22nd. Yay!!!

 Thats awesome mines scheduled for Oct 29! They told me I need to lose 40 more lbs of belly fat to shrink liver, so I am on liquids til then yuck!! Are you on a diet yet?

Im scheduled for 10/29/12 too. Getting nervous, but I know that's normal.

 hey tami! Yes I have not been nervous up until now. I know thats normal- did you have any weight loss goals or special diets too? How much have you loss to goal?

Hi there, I started at 273 and now I am at 254. The Dr. set my goal at 250 but he's scheduled me anyway since I was close. It's been soo hard to change my eating habits. I've been flucuating up and down 2 to 3 lbs.. When I blow it, I just have a little talk with myself...LOL! Then I get back on track rather give up like I use too. I have cut out sugar and try to keep everything lowfat, low carb and small portions. If I am craving sweets, I'll have 1 small scoop of sugar free ice cream, but not every day.  I will wait 3 to 4 days before I allow my self to have another.

What did the dr tell you? Do you have to meet a certain weight by your sugery date? I am planning to only drink mostly protien drinks for the next two weeks..

I am having a lot of mixed emotions..almost mourning my relationship with food. Is that weird? LOL!

p.s. oh and I go to water aerobics twice a week.. This has help me alot! I could barely move before because of the pain in my joints and back.  I am moving much better now.

Tami

Thats great Tami sounds like you are doing better than me. lol. I started at 421  then did the phase 1 diet which is basically like atkins . I weighed at 380 on my last dr visit and now I am doing all liquid diet  4 protein shakes a day, fiber and milk/yogurt and have gained back 5 lbs...it makes no sense to me! I eat less than 600 cal a day and I am gaining. My dr wants me at 354 before surgery but I dont think I will make it to that . I have lost about 35-40 lbs so I am sure he will still do the surgery! I never knew how much I would miss food til you cant have it so nooo I do not think thats weird!. I have been swimming in my pool and it helps but with my fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome its been hard to get to go every day!
