Date for move to the loser's bench set!

Sep 30, 2009

I will have my lap RNY on 11/30/09.  After consulting with my PCP Doc about my neck/shoulder pain, I ended up compromising between what I wanted (surgery ASAP, which would have been mid-November) and work demands (which would have had me push the date back to late December).

Now I can settle into my pre-surgery diet.  That'll keep me occupied for the next two months.  No more "last supper" stuff for me - THAT limited my weight loss this last month to 1 pound.  I'm practicing sipping & keeping water with me all of the time, small bites, putting down utensils between bites, chewing & chewing & chewing, and trying out protein supplements.  I know, I know, my tastes will change, but I'm just so curious!  Having done the ZONE diet a few years ago, I was already familiar with protein supplements.  Let me tell you, they've gotten a lot better! 

My family is slowly warming to the idea.  I'm putting together some information for them, so they can see the overwhelmingly positive evidence FOR gastric bypass.  So much of what we get from the media is negative!  My oldest daughter was concerned that the surgery amounted to bulemia, based on a TV documentary she saw!
