not much excercise.



Recommended Posts

My new scale (one that will weigh me) is going to be here tomorrow. I cant wait to see how much Ive lost on my preop diet. Ive been drinking 900 calories a day of carnation shakes for 10 days and that is it. I havent really excercised to much cuz I feel like crap. I am tired and run down. This diet is putting a hurting on me. I am very active though I have 3 little boys LOL. Im kinda worried I havent lost to much because I havent been excercising like crazy.What do you guys think?

Hey marmar. Don't really worry too much about the exercising right now (or the total pounds lost, for that matter). Studies show that a rapidly implemented low calorie diet tends to reduce fat from around the liver. If you've been faithful to the preop diet, I'm certain that your liver will be fine, allowing the surgeon to move it out of the way to slap that band on! You're getting close now, hang in there!

      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.
