Pre-Op: Ready, Set, Go!

My surgery date is 07/03/2012. My Official pre-op visit is 06/29/2012. I went to the doctor on Tuesday to get my meal replacements and pre-op diet guidelines. It's becoming more real. While I'm over the moon with how well everything has gone so far....I got insurance approval before I completed the surgeon's checklist! I guess I AM the ideal candidate for this procedure after all....I'm still scared that things may go awry.

 

I'm almost forty, BMI is 60 and I'm a mess right now! OSA, Uncontrolled Diabetes and the beginning stages of lymphedema in my left leg! Oh....and did I say I'm only 5'3 inches. Don't even get me started on my family hx.

 

I'm ready! Goal: 15 lbs.

 

This week: 1 meal replacement for the 3 main meals. 2-3 snacks (light/sugar-free, high protein, whenever possilble), smaller portions, 30 minutes per meal. Chew carefully. Do not drink with meals. Water, water, water. Protein, veggies, cheese, carbs. NO SUGAR if at all possible; smaller plates, smaller utensils, WALK DAILY if possible......I'm on it.

I'm still in my 2nd phase of pre-op. Two liquid meals a day. 1 regular (sensible) meal. two snacks. Have cheated a couple of times, but off-set it by not having the 2nd shake. I know the goal is 15LBs but I haven't weighed myself on purpose. I do my formal pre-op on Friday. I will then be on a fully liquid diet until my surgery date.

Getting very nervous because I have soooo much to do at work. Stress. stress. stress
