Got my date!!! August 19th
Chiptress replied to TravMac's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was supposed to have my surgery this Monday the 12th but I’ve been rescheduled for the 19th as well! I have to say as absolutely excited as I am to reboot my life & my health I was a little relieved to have another week to absorb all the emotions I’m feeling about it!! Congrats ladies! We’re surgery triplets !!! -
I’ll be checking with my pharmacist so see what he suggests

Was supposed to have my surgery 3 days from now on Monday 8/12/19. Found out this morning that my TSH thyroid levels are 4.5 so my insurance is asking for additional info & follow up from my PCP. At 1st I was upset but now I feel a little relieved. My pre-op hasn’t been going as restrictive as I’d like & I can do better. Might as well be as healthy going into this as possible. Rescheduled 1 week for 8/19/19

Eating While On 2 week Liquid Diet
Chiptress replied to Tonya L's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was supposed to have surgery Monday 8/12/19 also but mines being pushed back 1 week due to thyroid levels. I’m a little relieved because I haven’t been great on my pre-op diet. My drs require for my 1 meal low carb , low fat & high protein & veggie . Crabs are protein just don’t add fats like butter etc to them. -
How did your mental health change after surgery?
Chiptress replied to WinterFish's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is this Monday 8/12 & I was told to be prepared for a temporary change in hormones & possibly feeling a bit depressed for a few weeks. I’m glad that I know that going in . If that happens I’ll know it’s a byproduct of the surgery & it will pass -
Ok.... honesty time. I’m having my surgery 8/12/19. My pre-op requires 1st week 2 meals 1 protein shake. 2nd week 2 shakes 1 meal. Today should be my 3rd day of 2 meals 1 shake but I’m struggling. I think I’m still thinking about how restrictive my life will be post op. Normally I have great discipline. People around me always comment on how when I put my mind to something I do it. Does or did Anyone else have this problem?

You look great! A very important goal of mine is to get back in the saddle. Horses were my whole life for many years. Looking forward to getting my health & my life back . How’d the lesson go?

Fear of having surgery??
Chiptress replied to curlygirlgetsfit's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don’t think anyone is thrilled to be knocked out & have major surgery. The way that I handle it is knowing that I choose this team . I trust these doctors so I try & trust the process. -

I’ve heard about ricotta pie. Haven’t tried it but people rave about it

Congratulations !!!!! I’ll be 59 in a few weeks & I’m determined to make the rest of my life the best of my life!! You’ve got a great attitude! I’m also so looking forward to boating too & actually feeling good about wearing summertime clothes. I’ve always loved boating but always felt painfully self conscience. Kayaking is on my bucket list too!!! Looking forward to hearing about your progress!!!

I’m 9 days away from gastric & ive slipped up a few times on my pre-op diet. I was worried about it & went in to talk with my nutritionist. She reassured me I was fine. It really helped to curb my fears.

Very true. We are going through a life changing/life altering process. It’s bound to have a ripple effect in different areas of our lives
-
Wish you all the best as well. I wouldn’t have even gone for a sleep study if it weren’t required by my insurance. I snore. I have MILD. Often it goes away after we drop weight. BTw.... where do you live? You talk about a “theatre “ which I’m assuming is the hospital. I live on Long Island, NY! Nice to meet you Peggo. I’m Joan

Also.... according to my dr. My sleep apnea is very mild. I’m not tired during the day etc

I got my sexy cpap machine a month ago & I HATE it & haven’t been using it much. My surgery is also on 8/12 & I hope it has no baring on my surgery. I can’t sleep with the damn thing

Omg!!! the black & white number with those awesome sandals!!! Great look
