Okay I am 18 days away from surgery. Am I excited? YES! Bit I am really nervous. Im I doing the right thing? Yes! I have to take so many meds for my diabetes and cholesterol plus I have sleep apnea and Barretts esaphugus. I am 75 lbs over weight. So many people say Peggy you can do this yourself just excersise! I have tried and tried. My endo doctor tells me my meds have alot to do with my lack of energy. I am so up and down energy wise.

My one big concern is how will my body know when to stop loosing weight? I know this may sound silly to some but I see so many people that are loosing 100's of pounds. I am right at 5'5 and 51 years old, Today I weigh 202.

 

I go in for pre op testing on the 12th and will be on liquids for the week before my surgery.

 

We have a trip planned on the 20th of October will I feel good enough to go?

 

im just chattering here I know.. freaking nerves are getting the best of me!

Thanks for sharing your excitement/nervousness...all totally normal as I was the same in the weeks before surgery. I hope you recover well since I see you have a trip planned soon after your surgery. Everyone's experience is different, but I'm sure you will get to know how your body responds to the new way of eating so I can't really address your question on how your body will know to stop losing weight. Hope you have a speedy recovery =)

You can do this. I am also pre-op and don't have a date yet, but should be sometime in Sept. Yes I am also nervous, but excited at the same time. I have tried all the diets and yes I lose the weight, but gain it back. I too need to lose about 100 lbs. I have always been active, but the back, neck, knees are starting to rebel against the extra weight. Good luck and stay the course. It will be well worth it.
