Stress Test

Stress Test

Well, I just completed my first stress test ever and I didn't fall dead off the bike, so I consider it a good day. Not sure if I passed/failed...they always just look at you and smile. It would be nice if they had a "fat" person seat on the bike, after all, this was a stress test for the band and big people have to sit on that thing. Not to mention the fact that you have to jump up on it.....not a pretty sight. Anyway, 6 months of dietitian classes, therapy, sleep studies, ekg's, stress tests and paperwork later, and my surgery is this Tuesday! I can't wait...I'm tired of the BA bars and those nasty shakes. I've got some Unjury samples on the way and a GNC chocolate protein mix on the way thanks to some helpful suggestions. Have a great day banders!

Huge Disappointment

Well, I got all prepped for surgery, went under and they cut me open and moved stuff around, then found my liver was 2 ½ times the normal size, so they could not safely do the surgery and they closed me up. I have 5 incisions/stitches and they took a liver biopsy. He is going to have me on another 6 weeks of a liquid diet and then they will try again, so I will have to reschedule the surgery. I am sooooo disappointed and not looking forward to another 6 wks of liquid. I had been to the grocery store and stocked up on what I needed post-op. I was perfect on my diet and lost 24 lbs during the 2 weeks, but I'm a big girl and need more time for my liver to shrink. He also mentioned that in another 6 weeks, if it is still not down enough that he may go ahead and do the sleeve(with my permission of course). Congrats to all my other Sept 11th bandsters that had success.   :(
