PATTS next week and my weight is up!
on 3/7/14 9:19 am - Canada
So I'm getting close to my surgery date and I have my PATTS next week at HRRH. I am hoping to get some information on what to expect that day? I also have put on about 5 Lbs since my last appointment and now I am worried that they could postpone my surgery because of it??? I have been doing so well following the "program" but I have had a few of the dreaded "bucket list" binges I have read about. Now not only am I at the point where I am nervous about the surgery, I am completely stressed out about the few extra pounds I stupidly added to my body!!! Any information and/or advice would be greatly appreciated!
They will review your meds, if any, that you are taking. Write down any medication and/or vitamins you take. They will swab you to make sure you don't have mrsa, vre, cdiff and whatever else; it's standard for any surgery. They will check your weight. You will talk to the anesthesiologist.
It should be ok. Get back on track! No more bucket list binge eating. You will be able to eat some foods again after a while. "Everything in moderation" after surgery. I started introducing some things after a year.
BELOW GOAL Happily maintaining 4.5 years out!! Life is GREAT!!! Had my plastic surgery!
Don't worry about it I gained over 10 lbs during my process and it never stopped my surgery. I know TWH and I believe HRRH will not postpone surgery just because you gained a few pounds.

dont keep looking back at your mistakes. Just get back up on your horse and ride him into the sunset. Keep your focus, treat yourself with nice things.. bubblebath, new magazine , mani-pedi etc. We all have slips, some have complete wipeouts lol, but the thing to remember is YOU CAN DO THIS. And dont tell yourself that you will never ever be able to have such n such, as this will drive you to it. Tell yourself that in the future, if you feel like a taste of something you will and can. just go easy and treat yourself well, I think you will find that you will like treating yourself well is far better a reward than a pig out of forbidden foods. When I was on opti-fast , I had a minor issue with my son.... well that gave me permission to eat an enormous amount of macaroni and beef with tomatoes, I mean a disgusting amount! the next day I started all over
