rlm34 42 Posted October 3, 2013 Im scheduled for 21st Oct with pre-op diet starting on the 7th. Super excited, but nervous too. Im actually viewing the 21st like the beginning of my new life. I can't wait to finally start being free of the fat and everything else I battle because of it. Good luck to you all. 5 Chelle, Doing It 4 Them, reinangel and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chelle 59 Posted October 4, 2013 Can I just share for a minute??? Monday I start my pre-op two week diet like most of the rest of you have done/are doing. It just hit me this morning that life as I know it will be over soon. At the same time as they do my bypass, they will be removing my ovaries as well. So.....transition into life after bariatric surgery AND surgical menopause at the same time. My head knows it will all be fine....but I wish this knot in my stomach would figure it out!!!!

I feel the same way u do. I start my liquid diet next Friday and I keep thinking wow I only have 6 more days to enjoy good food and alcohol!!! Going out to eat tonight and then having a party tomorrow night. It's sad . BUT it will all be worth it!! Just keep telling yourself that! You will be healthy and feel so much better!! I'm sweating my ass off at work today cuz I've been running all over the place (I am a Secretary for 4 diff departments). I can't wait not to sweat so much!! It's embarrassing!!!! My hair is drenched 1 Chelle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
