12/14/15 surgery!

[rgilio88 2]

So Monday 1030 I go for surgery. I'm super nervous..somewhat about the procedure because I've never had surgery but mostly I'm worried about still not being able to lose weight or stick to the diet! I've done 1 week Liquid Protein and cheated twice..and in my 6 month work up preparing for surgery have only lost 12 pounds. I don't want to have this done for nothing or always feel like I'm on a diet post op..I feel like I should be having brain surgery to get my head right instead of sleeve surgery but I keep telling myself one day at a time and slip ups are inevitable and as long as I don't fall into old habits and follow the guidelines (protein, don't drink with meals, etc.) it'll be ok. All we can do is our best!

I just had my surgery on 12/8/15 I stayed in the hospital for 3 night but I am home now. Although I am still uncomfortable and sore I am soooo happy I had the surgery! I started this process 12/13/14 and I had to do 6months nutrition classes per my insurance then I started a new job so I pushed the surgery back. I'm 5 ft and at my highest weight I was 220 after I had my daughter in 2013. My before surgery weight was 200lbs☺️ I am looking forward to the future! I am already tired of the broth, gatorade, Water and sugar free Jello but you have no other choice!!! The difference between before and after surgery is that if you cheat post op your stomach is gonna hurt like hell and your gonna end up back in the hospital from extreme nausea and/or vomiting. Before you would cheat and nothing would happen. I can barely get get my 4oz of water and brith down so don't worry you have no other choice but to loose the weight. My husband has been walking with me while in the hospital and now I'm home we walk around the block. You'll do fine what your feeling is normal Good Luck!!!!!
