Surgery Tomorrow 7/28/2



Recommended Posts

OMG...I cant believe that it is tomorrow and right now I am so hungry. I have been crying all day and now I am about to do my clean out method. Maybe I am making a mistake...Right now I am missing food and I am dying to have a slice of pizza and cant believe that I may never be able to eat it again. I hate the fact that I was not able to do this alone. What am I gonna do if I cant eat...I think I am having a panic attack!!!!

and you will eat again..I promise...maybe even a slice of pizza (well the topping for sure but maybe not a lot of the crust when you hit restriction) I get full from the topping now.

Everything will be just fine. I also felt like second guessing my decision but I am a week out of surgery today and I'm feeling so much better health wise already. I have lost a few pounds and I'm already feeling more alive and energized and not so controlled by food. It's a wonderful feeling, you won't regret it. :scared2:

Tab,

I'm having surgery tomorrow too! I have sought some friends online who have had the surgery and had private conversations with them. You WILL be able to eat pizza again. Like someone else mentioned maybe just the topping but from what I hear, the desire to eat an entire pizza like we have now will be GONE! I am so excited, today is my last day letting food control my life. Starting tomorrow, I am eating to live and not living to eat. Join me!

Good luck!

Hi,

wish I was getting the band today instead I went today to get the results of my stress test and he wanted to put me in the hospital for a angioplasty I have a slight block on the top of my heart and they don't know how much it has processed if not tested they won't do anything until it is 75% blocked so I asked him to wait until after I get the band and he agreed.I am just getting stressed out more waiting for my approval wish I only knew on way or the other.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
