Topic: RE: Surgery on the 12th & cheating on liquid diet
Hey everyone! April, I'm totally going through the 'I want pizza and chocolate' thing too....and thinking 'How can I do this post op if I can't pre op?' But the whole craving/binging thing is why we have problems with losing weight and keeping it off, Right? So I think/hope we all will do fine, because we won't be able to eat as much of the junk that's being craved after surgery.
Good LUck!

My doctor has me on a no starch diet. I also can't have red meat or any leafy veggies. So i am screwed!!!! I feel like if i can't stick to this than how am i going to stick to the after surgery stuff.. I am also having the worst cravings ever. I want chocolate and Pizza. I am not gonna do it though, and my husband wont let me.. THANK GOD!!!!
Good luck and just do the best you can.

Topic: and now I know
My date is Mon, Feb 26th. Everything was confrimed today. I start a 2 wk restrictive diet begining Monday. This weekend, my husband and I are going away and celebrating my b-day and Valentine's Day. I had to postpone my first date in Oct, due to some other medical issues. I want to stay healthy and look forward to a smooth procedure. I am nervous, but am refusing to let myself think about it too much.
Topic: Tomorrow's my day
9 hours before my surgery and I am nervous. Had my las****er. Last meal at a Francy French place (Valentine's Day a week before) and got too full for dessert. Anyway, my son is freaking out thinking I might not make it and I keep telling him that I have a bazillion things I need to do thin, that I have not been able to do fat. SO I will wake up. Anyway, send me good vibes and thoughts. It's all good.
So I'll post Saturday I guess when I get home.
Everyone take care.

Topic: 6 Days Post-Op
Tomorrow will be one week since my WLS (RNY) and I feel good! Great is just around the corner! I am getting all of my protein and water in with little challenge. I feel like someone beat me up and walk a bit slower when I first rise but all in all I have to say I think I am blessed with my healing process. I have to stop weighing myself!!! I can't wait to see the scale decrease in the number of lbs. Enloe Hospital in Chico was fantastic! I was again blessed with a great surgeon Dr. D. Ludwig and the whole staff at this office as well as at Enloe were all angels! I made new friends and look forward to visiting them after I loose my weight. I did have a challenge with constipation before and after surgery. That was my only hurdle. My husband was my savior! I couldn't have continued my WLS journey without the support of my family and new friends in OH. This site is a Godsend. Thanks to all of those who prayed and kept me in their thoughts during my surgery. Love to all OH members. I am proud to be a new member of the loosing team! Ya Hu!! :D
