Well, there are 10 days until the surgery date. 6 until my pre-op visit with the doctor. I did a weight check yesterday morning using the Wii Fit board, then did one this morning, wearing the same pajamas I wore yesterday, I had gone UP 0.7 pounds!! WTH?? I am following the 2 week diet to a tee, what am I doing wrong?
Also, I am having really bad bouts of diarrhea after I consume anything, even water! I'm not sure if its a bug, or just the diet change.
I hope that the weight decides to take a turn in the RIGHT direction and start going DOWN before I see the doc on Thursday, they told me last time I was there to NOT gain weight, not sure what will happen if I have.
Best wishes on your surgery. I'm contemplating some kind of bariatric surgery. I'm stunned by the long term prep. I look at the diatary restrictions and go, "If I could do that, I'd lose weight with a diet!" I don't know how you've done it What kind of surgery are you set to have? I'll be really interested in seeing your post surgical impressions. It seems as I look at others' experience that the first couple months are hard, but then life gets better. My fear is that I'd be trading my weight for a life of constant indigestion. I can't imagine me having the discipline to do all the rules for after surgery. I wish you well on this portion of your journey. If you do feel like you can answer any part of my anxieties, I'd be grateful.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I know several people that have had it done, and they were VERY successful, I hope I am as well.
ReplyDeleteI spoke to all of them at length and got the good and the bad from them before I made the decision to speak to my doctor about it. I had tried several methods previously to lose weight, but it would come right back.
I am scheduled to have the RNY on next Monday. It is the fastest method to lose weight but comes with the most changes to be made.
Best thing to do is research all of the different methods (RNY, LAP Band, Gastric Sleeve) and see which one you think would be right for you, then discuss it with your doctor.
