Everything is running smoothly

Apr 07, 2011

It's been awhile since i've posted here, but i've been a busy bee!!! I have been on a pre-op diet for the past month and finishing my pre-op appointments!!! I have lost 25 pounds!!!!! Again, 25 pounds. I'm ecstatic. I've finished everything for insurance approval, it has been submitted, and now the wait is on. My surgery coordinator says approval with my insurance company takes about a week, so my plan for an April surgery date may come true. My first visit with my surgeon, he said he thought that doing the duodenal switch in 2 surgeries was best for me and he wanted me to lose 10 pounds by the next time he saw me which was this past Wednesday, and again i have bust my ass and lost 25 pounds. He looked at me like a proud father. Now he says he believes i will be able to be switched with one surgery and that is a relief. I've been drinking nothing but water, crystal light and protein drinks. I've cut my carbs by more than half. I've cut sugar to a minimum and completely cut out sweets and fast food. I've been eating regularly including breakfast. I've added more veggies and fruit. And dare i say it........DRUM ROLL PLEASE......I've been exercising As much as i want to have that "last supper"before my surgery i can't stop, and i so wanna reward myself with something sweet and high calorie.......BUT those days HAVE to be over!!!!!!!
