7 Days!!!!!!

I am 411lbs, 6ft tall. BMI well over 50. Please someone tell me what should I expect? I am seriously having crazy thoughts. What happenes if this wont work for me?   In my first month what should I expect.  For the first time i am actually unsure of myself.  I have got to snap out of this. 

It WILL work for you. All you have to do is your job. Meaning stick to the plan you are given and work it has hard as you can. My highest was 427lbs I am down to 246lbs ( so far lol ). It is working for me and I will work for you!!

No worries. YOU WILL DO GREAT!!!

Thanks Felicia for the words of encouragement. I know I have to stick to the plan. I guess I am second guessing myself about sticking to the plan. I have never been able to comply with a "diet" I want to. But I am going to put in 110%. I read you profile you did good in your weight loss. Thankyou again.

"I have never been able to comply with a "diet" I want to."
But in the past you were doing it alone and now you will have a built in tool to help you. Trust me you can only stray so far before it yanks you back into reality lolol. You can do this. You are doing an amazing thing for yourself.

I too could never stick to a diet, but with this amazing tool, you will do great . I weighed 417 the day of surgery, 473 when I started the journey. Today is my 18month anniversary and I weigh 195. Sometimes I still can't believe it. You have alot to look forward too.  I just got back from an amazing vacation to the Grand Canyon, and Las Vegas. I could have never imagined doing that 2 years ago. Keep us posted on your progress. Lynn

Lynn thankyou so much!!! OMG you did wonderful.  I am excited I could never believe I could lose that much weight. If I can be atleast be 300lbs I would be happy. I promise I will keep everyone posted.                                                      Big Sassy

Sassy,

 

Take a deep breath.  The surgery is only a tool.  You will lose a tremendous amount of weight the first 6 - 12 months then you need to use the tool.  It is very normal to feel the way that you do.  Just think about how much better you will feel in about 2 months from now. 

 

Please keep us posted.  BTW I am 52, 1 year post op and I have lost 160 lbs.  I started at 456 lbs.

 

You can do this.

Jeanne,      You lost 160lbs in one year. Thats about 15-20lbs a month thats excellent.  Did you do alot of excercise?  I sometimes wander if I am going to crave.  You  are right. Let me take a deep breath and breathe.  7 days. I am so ashamed of myself I have been eating like no other. This is the time I should be stepping back and preparing myself.  I am thankful that you responded. I hope I am as successful as you were.                                                    Big Sassy

Sassy,

I don't exercize because of severe osto in my knees and lymphodema in my one leg.  I am 50 lbs. from getting new knees so once that is done I will be doing some formal exercize.  It is also normal to eat the week before.  Just one clue, about 2 days before (unless your surgeon recommended otherwize) cut down on your food intake.  My nut told me that what you eat 2 days before is going to stay there until after the surgery and could cause discomfort because your bowel movements are different for a short while after surgery. 

Please keep in touch and feel free to contact me if you want to talk.  My e-mail address is [email protected]

I see Big Sassy being Sexy Sassy in no time.

Sexxy Sassy!!!   I love the way that sounds.   I am so glad you told me about lowering my food intake two days before surgery. Because not only since I had my consult with my surgeon have I been eating more but I planned to really celebrating the weekend before.  So since my surgery is tuesday I will cut down starting friday.                 Jeanne I will email you because I would love to                   talk you.                                        Big Sassy
