Ready, Set, GO!
Feb 08, 2013
Hello everyone :) my name is Miranda and I am from the lovely state of Ohio.
In September 2012 I decided to make the most important decisions of my life, and that decisions is to have weight loss surgery.I have been heavy set my entire life and I can not wait to be healthy for once! I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and extremely high blood pressure. I also have a pretty strong history of heart disease that runs in my family. Those are just a few of the reasons why I want to have weight loss surgery. I started this whole process in September 2012. I went to a group seminar in September and then started going to all the necessary appointments there after. The surgery that my surgeon and I have chose is VSG. I am very excited, but obviously very nervous, anxious, and a little scared. I am now on day 4 of my 2 week pre op diet and I'm finding it a little difficult. I am NOT and never have been a milk drinker. As I started this 2 week all liquid and protein diet I bought glycerna hunger smart shakes, carnation breakfast (sugar free), isopure, slim fast (milk chocolate and strawberry), Special K (chocolate), and whey protein powder mix. All of these protein shakes are a "milky substance" or " milk based" protein drinks, except for the Isopure. I wish I could say good things about the isopure, but the truth is, it's actually pretty awful. I know everybody's taste buds are different so please don't let that comment talk you out of trying it. I am now looking for something different to drink. Something that I can actually tolerate. If anyone has any suggestions I am more than open to them.
My surgery is scheduled for February 20th .... That's 11 days away!!!! O my goodness....
If anyone has any comments or suggestions on the pre op 2 week diet PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share. I will basically drink this stuff because I have to, but if there is something out there that is a little more tolerable I would be more than happy to try it.
Best of luck to all of you who are undergoing or have already undergone WLS. I can't wait to sit with all of you on the losers bench :)
