Getting ready for gastric sleeve surgery soon. On the 10th I'll attend a pre-op educational class, have an EKG, blood work done, urinalysis, anesthesia evaluation, weight, Vital Signs, and a physical exam. All of this to ensure that I am physically ready to proceed with surgery.
(Had a psychological evaluation done this past summer which included demographics, medical history, sleep habits, social aptitude, any substance use, dieting history, a questionnaire about my eating habits, family history, psychological history and a 500 question questionnaire about how I feel and think about life, an eating style evaluation- how I feel and think about food. And, an evaluation by psychiatrist.) All this took about 4 hours.) in addition I've had for doctor's appointments with the surgeon, and three or four appointments with a nutritionist. I started this process May 1st. so it's taken 8 months to get here. during this time I've also had some heart issues that put things on hold. I now have a pacemaker and had a cardiac ablation done in Oct.(I've had my heart shocked back into Rhythm seven times in the past 4 years.)
On a side note,😁😁😁😁 I'm replacing my dinner plates, bowls, glassware, etc. with smaller versions- ones that hold 1/4, 1/2, and one cup amounts.
Drinking plenty of liquids, taking vitamins, walking and getting adequate sleep.
Made homemade vegetable broth and some sugar free jello today.
I'm listening to The Obesity Code. It's enlightening!

Following a pre-op liquid diet the scale is dropping unbelievably fast!
Truth to tell, it's probably due to my colon getting cleaned out. However, I am faithfully following the recommended liquid diet from the bariatric surgery doctor.

Happy New Year everyone!
Became very discouraged with life events and went off my eating plan in August only to regain the weight I'd lost over the summer. Mentally now ready to have another go at it. Coming to terms with the fact that I do have an eating addiction. Have gastric sleeve surgery scheduled for January 15th. Other than medical staff have only talked about this with one other person. I will disclose this to others down the road but at this point, at this stage, I'm not prepared to do that. I'm still rolling it around in my head. I started on the pre-op liquid diet several days ago. I also removed all food from my fridge, freezer, cabinets and kitchen. Only thing in the kitchen are the liquids needed for the pre-op liquid diet. I know me and I know I need not to have any other food in the house at this point. I'm thankful that there's no one else living in the house who's food I would have to deal with at this point. At a later time, when it's appropriate, I'll bring food back into the house but for now I'm good to go with this. This works for me. I realize it might not work for other people. I think about a lot of things. I wonder will I be able to do this will it work for me. wondering how I'm going to figure out how to do this long-term. I know this- I'll figure it out and make it happen. I'm going to take this one day at a time. I'll deal with today, today and tomorrow, well I'll deal with tomorrow - tomorrow!
Feel like the doctors and medical staff simply does not give enough information to new patients and I've been dealing with them for almost a year now. I'm learning this is not just my doctor's office but everywhere. I have spent a great deal of time looking up information about weight loss surgery so I will know the pros and cons and what to expect. I have thought about having this surgery for many many years and now, all the pieces have finally come together and so now it's going to happen. I'm ready to make the long term , the forever, lifestyle changes required. In fact, I realize I have been incorporating a lot of changes for a very long time in my life to bring about a successful resolution to my weight-loss journey.
I've asked myself how and why I let myself be out of control in maintaining a healthy weight and ignoring the lifestyle habits that would promote a leaner more fit me?
Why have I gained weight year after year, diet after diet, despite my best efforts at times?
What is it lean and fit people do differently from what I am doing, to stay lean and fit while maintaining a healthy weight year after year?
At the end of the day, in spite of the answers I came up with, while all of them having some validity adding to my obesity, they were simply excuses that allowed me to continue making poor nutritional choices and decisions. I don't want to make any excuses for how I've ended up here and I'm not going to.
I have a plan in place. I've become focused going forward, not giving up, not looking backwards, not quitting, nor giving in and not making excuses. I am committed, fully engaged, mindful and looking towards the requirements it takes to sustain permanent weight loss. I'm the one in charge of my life, my lifestyle, the choices I make, and the driver of the environment influencing my health for better or for worse. I want this. I love me that much.
I'd much rather be healthy then eating foods that keep me locked into being morbidly obese another day. I hate being discriminated against because of my dress size and I hate being treated less than best because of my weight. I'm also tired of being the fattest woman in the room.
Thought For the Week:
Why set yourself up for failure by measuring your worst against everybody else's very best? Why do that to yourself? Step up and always love yourself better than that.
