Journal 2009 here we go.......

Aug 07, 2009

Well I am pre op and I just lost 12 lbs for my surgery.  I am feeling a little anxious because I Know it will not be long before the surgery date which is scheduled for September.  I didnt want a  specific date yet but I met all the requirements  for the vsg because I wanted to see if I could lose and additional 10lbs needed to get the rouen y as oppose to the gastric sleeve.  I will weigh in again this Wed. and see how things go.  I am on a semi liquid diet with two slim fast shakes a day and cucumbers tomatoes and light fruit.  I have been trying to walk 2-3 miles daily.  This is very hard for me as I am hungry as EVER.... I asked my doctor primary doctor which surgery is best for me and he says either the gastric or the rouen y is good as he wants to see my weight go down.  He says the rouen y may give the ultimate results though.  I shouldnt be down because it has been a long time coming and I did meet the goals for the gastric  sleeve.  I will weigh in monday with my primary care physician and see how I am doing.
