On my Pre-op Diet

Jan 07, 2011

Well I am almost done day 5 on this pre-op diet. I want to say that it is totally horrible but it really isn't as bad as i though it was going to be. I am  still hungry but it isn't something that is an on going thing, it comes and goes. Right now I'm getting hungry but it is almost time for my shake. One thing that has been helping me a lot is eating my veggies and drinking my shakes at the same time every day. I can not wait to go for surgery. I am so excited, I want to shout it off the tallest building in Winnipeg that I, Michelle Lyydia, is finally getting to go for WLS. I have wanted this surgery for the longest time. I can't even put it into years. I remember when I was in Gr. 4 and a  friend and I were saying if only there was a surgery were they could cut out the fat. Well I'm not getting it cut out but getting my stomach turned into a tiny little pouch is about the same to me.

I was scared for the longest time to actually get the paperwork in motion to get this done. Open sugery just didn't appeal to me.  A very good friend of mine got lap RNY done about 2 years ago and to see her physically change and to see how much more she was able to do, the increased energy , the fact that it was done laproscopically, and of course her support made me finally ask my doctor about this surgery. I was ready to go to Duluth to get it done. I was ecstatic when my doctor told me that a new clinic opened up in Winnipeg. A DREAM COME TRUE!!!! Ever since I made the decision to do this, yes I have felt some apprehension but, I haven't looked back. This is what is right for me.

I do have some people in my family do not support me.  I don't really know what to think of it other than it is none of their business. My s-i-l who doesn't know a thing about WLS but knows everything  has been scaring my husband with stories about how many people die getting it done.  Both  my parents are gone and I have never wanted my mum with with me as much as I wish she was here now. She would have been nervous but she would have been a huge pillar of support.  I do not feel like I am really getting much support from the family that I do talk to which is too bad.  I guess they just don't want me to live longer then them (jk).  Other family members are just worried about the unknown as I am the first person they know that is getting/had WLS.

I am doing this for myself and for no one else and I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  10 more days.
