One Week From Today

I will be having my surgery...

Of course went to see the LNP at Dr. Campbell's office and have put ON 3lbs since my last visit! UGH.. so discouraged!  I havent been eating enough and over excercising for what I have been eating so my body is holding onto EVERYTHING!

So we are going 3 shakes a day and a salad with protein at dinner, I have cut out the coffee and the diet soda... been focusing on the things I can have AFTER surgery to help get my mind on the right track.

I am nervous now... I dont want to get all the way to the surgery day and have them say, nope you didnt lose enough weight or you are no longer a candidate! I have worked so hard even with all the up's and down's to get here.

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

You can do it !  Sounds like you have the plan in place, and make sure you are drinking LOTS of FLUIDS !!!  Good luck to you.  Dr. Campbell is very strict about the weight loss, she was my surgeon too.

Congrats, that last week was the hardest for me nerves wise, but you will do great!  It will be here before you know it.  And you will be on the losers bench with us.  My one recommendation is to bring a pillow for the ride home.  Place it between you and the seat belt.  Helps hold you tight and less giggles on the way home. 

Good luck and ask away if you have any questions.

I am have the bypass... wanted the sleeve but my insurance will not cover it as they feel it's too experimental!

My eyes are very wide open about the "after" part of surgery, I am scared to death of putting anything into my body that will cause dumping or throwing up.  I am very keen into the thought of pain and of how slow the process is going to go or how I can fall into the same old habits.  So focused on the future that I am READY for it!  Its this week leading up to the surgery and panicking that I will be turned away on Tuesday when I get there!

All normal fears I know, but I am so damn determined to be on the losers bench FINALLY!! To feel healthy, to shop in the NORMAL woman's section, to wear normal sized clothes!

Thanks for all the pep talks guys... so ready... tick tock, tick tock!!

Good luck!!  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.  We've all been there and are happy to help.
