carrie43 15 Posted November 28, 2012 Hello everyone. This is my first time posting but have been reading the posts for a couple of days now. I am currently doing my protocol now (on my way to my endoscopy now) and am hoping to have my surgery in Jan. this is such a GREAT place and I have learned so much in just a short time. I know I probably sound crazy but I Ana nervous wreck right now. I'm trying to talk to myself that I am doing this for me and is one step closer to the new me. Any good vibes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! 1 Ms skinniness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pieganjane 26 Posted November 28, 2012 Good vibes here, it is a scary process but hopefully in the end you will be happier for the decision. There were so many times in the months working up to the surgery that I wanted to run away, hated all the medical tests...but finally they were over and all is well.

MacSleever 6 Posted November 28, 2012 I understand and can relate to your fear. I went through it myself. My only regret is that I did not have the surgery years ago. Look at it this way, you will be gaining a longer, healthier life after surgery. Best of luck to you and I promise it is worth it. 1 Catherine Shinn Habhab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carrie43 15 Posted November 28, 2012 Thanks everyone! Everything went well today and no underlying issues. Doc is to send the report to the surgeon that I am ok for surgery. My next appt is on Fri with the nutritionist. What type of questions should I be asking? Any input u may have is great! Thanks :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattsbelly 76 Posted November 29, 2012 I just finished with my nutritionist. I had to see one for 3 months. I didn't need to ask anything mine was great and had all the info I needed. Make sure you get some ideas on what types of food you can and can not eat and what you should be eating now. Basically you should be cutting sugars out and eating more Protein. Questions will come to you as you are talking to the nutritionist. How many times do you need to go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
