I am 5 days post-op and I FEEL GOOD!!!  This whole experience is new to me, and as I can see it's going to be a challenge..I'm starting to notice now more than before food plays a big role in my life...N it's even more important now because I got to always be concious of the food that I eat and make sure that I make the right decisions...I'm taking this day by day and I also know that bariatricfoodie.com is gonna be a big inspiration to my weight loss journey....

Last Tuesday 6/5 I went to my Information Pre-Surgery Class and got all of my surgery prep bloodwork drawn....On 6/6 I went to my Pre-Op exam with my doctor and I weighed in at 311 lbs.....That was also the day that I started my pre-op liver shrinking diet....I have been doing really well with my diet as of today...In the beginning I had a really hard time while I was withdrawing from FOOD... The greatest news of all is that I HAVE LOST 10 LBS SINCE I STARTED MY LIVER SHRINKING DIET 6 DAYS AGO....WHOO HOOO....WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT....IM ON MY WAY.....

MY SURGERY DATE IS SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 18TH ......I AM SOO NERVOUS AND EXCITED AT THE SAME TIME ...ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Hello Everyone...I am in the beginning stages of this whole thing. I went to my initial visit a couple of weeks ago and my doctor told me that my insurance company is requiring me to complete six months of weight management with a bariatric nutritionist. I really wasn't upset about the whole thing because this will help me to be successful after surgery. I am so much looking forward to this new lifestyle, but I am also nervous about the pre-op and post-op surgery. There are times when I see certain people that had a bad experience with thier surgeries I want to chicken out and try something else, When I read some of the sucess stories of other RNY patients I then say to myself that I too can be successful.nSometimes I feel like I am not going to be successful but there are other times when I know I can do it. At this point I AM GOING TO DO IT.
