Weight Loss Journey- Taking the surgery route: 9 days

9 days

But who is counting?....I AM! Two days to start the liquid pre-op diet. Am I ready?...I think so, although I think anxiety is starting to get to me...I've never had anxiety issues, so I'm not really sure, but I'm having trouble sleeping even though I take melatonin. And if I have idle times, I feel like my heart is going 100mph.

Next time I feel this way, I hope that it is weight that I'm losing!

I found this motivational picture....I like the message, so I'm posting it too.

I'm thinking that having a positive attitude will help with this whole journey.

Good luck with the liquid diet. Mine doesn't start until next Sunday so I'm still just trying to eat my favorites and get that out of my system. One week to go seems so short but I'm anticipating the longest week ever. However it turns out, we've got this. In one short week we are on our way to a healthy new life. How exciting is that?!!!!

RNY Gastric By Pass

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a type of weight-loss surgery that reduces the size of your stomach to a small pouch – about the size of an egg. It does this by stapling off a section of it. This reduces the amount of food you can take in at meals. The surgeon then attaches this pouch directly to the small intestine, bypassing most of the rest of the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine. This reduces the amount of fat and calories you absorb from the foods you are able to eat for even more weight loss.
