Wow hard to believe that I am already over 4 months post op! Things have been going really well... haven't dealt with any real complications after my RNY surgery (a few times of dumping  shortly after eating... not a fun experience!)

I am down a total of 112 lbs from my highest weight.. and it feels great!!  My issue right now is the clothes i own are getting way too loose on me... and can't keep anything in my pant pockets... well we don't need to go there!!  lol   guess eventually i will have to bite the bullet and go do some shopping!! lol

the night before my surgery date!

Well it is the night before my surgery... it is booked for tomorrow (June 25, 2012) at 7:45 am... (7 hours from now :-S) and I am feeling sick (nervous) ... like I want to throw up. :-s

But I am sure everything will be fine! After 4 weeks of opti-fast it better be!! lol

I guess I will find out in the morning if I lost any more weight since my pre-admin appointment? At that appointment I was down 21 lbs since starting the opti-fast... sooo glad don't have to drink those anymore! :-D lol

the begining of my new journey
on June 7, 2012 8:37 pm
I have my surgery scheduled for June 25, 2012 in Toronto. I am very nervous, but excited too!

I am into my second week of opti-fast and things are finally going better. My first week was rough! I barely got any drinks down, and towards the end of week one it was only 1/2 a drink all day, plus black tea, soup broth, (a couple of days a bit of sugar free jello) and tons of water. I spoke to the doctor, then the dietitian and was told to cut out everything else until I get my drinks down (and water too!) each day, or the surgery might not take place! :-S

The first week I tried drinking it normally... not good! Then I tried other methods (always making sure the drink is really cold), plugging my nose while drinking, adding sugar free flavour shots, freezing it like popsicles, adding small amounts of crystal light; nothing was really helping! The taste I can't handle (the after taste is gross!) and the smell turns my stomach! But, I am determined to have this surgery and begin my new life without all this excess weight.

So, what seems to be working for me right now is taking a larger drinks through a straw, followed by a very quick chaser of water. I can't wait for opti-fast to be over!! Man, the 25th seems sooooo far away right now!! (but I can do it!!) lol
