My tomorrow is here

Well, the last 2 weeks have flown by. Tomorrow, my life will be forever changed (for the better). I am feeling all types of emotions - happiness, anxiousness, excitement, etc. etc. But I shall remain prayed up because it's all in God's hands, and He will guide the doctor's! ~ttyl~

Pre-op diet & I do not get along

So, my surgery is 5 days away. The dietician at my surgeon's office puts everyone (sleeve, lap band, and bypass patients) on a 2-week LIQUID diet (as in NO FOOD, just the shakes, yogurt, jello, and broth). I have no other medical issues (high bp, diabeties, etc.) - just obese! WELL I'VE CHEATED. I felt sick after a day and a half. Because my vitamin levels are low I had to start a multi vitamin, B complex, and vit D pills - which on an empty stomach, does not go over well. Not to mention, that friends I've talked to who had lap band or bypass and what I've read on this site...I come to the conclusion that the pre-op diet varies depending upon the doctor/dietician. IDK what to think...any thoughts????

My date is fast approaching

hey everyone, i am one of those ppl who have always been heavy. i began gaining at the tender age of 12-13. in high school i was only a few lbs lighter than i am today. deep down i was never happy, but of course on the surface i was always "fine" with it. never had a problem meeting men, going out in public, etc. between 1999-2001 i lost about 60 lbs, but i did it with the help of diet pills. of course, once i stop'd the weight crept back (and then some). in 2003 a really close friend had gastric bypass surgery. this was the 1st time i considered it, but didn't explore it. 2007 was when i seriously looked into having lap-band, but my career moved me out of state. now that i'm back in michigan, i figure i'm not gettng any young but i am definitely getter BIGGER so ...i've done the leg work and on monday i was called with "my date"...I AM SO EXCITED... wednesday, january 19 2011 is when it all will go down. so thought it would be nice to use this enrivonment to share my story and get inspiration from others ~ i thank you in advance
