Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is my surgery. I was not put on a surgical diet given my lower bmi so I have indulged in my Farewell to food Tour over the last 2 weeks. Indulged is an understatement. Tonight at midnight is my cut off. Am going out for my last supper (did someone mention I was going to be executed?) that will definiitely have fois gras on the menu. And then....enough!



Just got back from the grocery store where I purchased my post-surgical purchases for food for the next few weeks. I was studying the babyfood labels like it was the holy grail when a kind woman behind me asked me how old my baby is. Coulda been worse - she could have asked me when my baby is due!



I have been so distracted that when I picked up my pre-meds at the drugstore I backed into a guy in the parking lot while leaving. Add $1700 to the bill for the new me!



I am excited and anxious. I believe I have an excellent surgeon, good hubby support and the attitude to make this work. If only it wasn't for the "e" word. Exercise. But I will do what it takes to make this work.



Here's hoping. Think of me tomorrow at noon as I drift off to la la land.

wishing both enuf and cccv4 the best!!! I was lucky I was put on the Sugar buster's diet before my surgery...was easy to stick too. but so remember I did over indulge as well on restaurants that I thought I would never be able to eat at again. But guess what...I have gone to all of them now post op and although I don't eat anywhere near what I used to eat...I still have choices at each one of them. So don't fear there is still a realitively normal life after the band surgery...but it calls for healthier choices!!! Congrats to both of you and I will be thinking of you both (enuf today) and (ccv4 on Friday)!!! See you on the otherside like 2muchfun said...btw ladies he is a good person to get suggestions from...he's been there done this...LOL!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
