Hi everyone!
I’m 24 in Columbus,Ohio. I have PCOS and hypertension,my highest weight is 325-330 and my current weight is 310.
I’ve been on a weight loss journey off and on for years but I met my surgeon in April 2017. I changed my mind around this time last year and restarted the process for surgery December 2017. I did my 6 months of monitored diet, psych,nutritionist visits (2 so far),and EGD by June 29th. Earlier this year I changed my mind from getting the sleeve to getting bypass (reflux issues).
My RNY will be on 9/17/18 ! My day of preop testing is August 28th and I have my last appointment with my surgeon on 9/11. I don’t have a preop diet but I hope that the nutritionist will give me one when I have my preop testing. If they do not give me a preop diet to follow I will just follow the plan that I’ve come up with after researching A LOT of preop diets. Fingers crossed they’ll give me guidance at my appointment because I need structure or I’ll eat everything in sight.
I’ve bought things for my preop plan with very little for post op so far. I don’t want to go crazy with the cases of premier and waste them so I’m limiting my protein purchases until after surgery. I’ll have some protein but not a stockpile.
I’m excited and nervous but I’m ready for the next chapter in my life. I’ve been obese since middle school so I’m anxious to see how I look NOT obese lol.
