Pre-Op Assessment today for surgery 9th December

[amy_m]

Hi all,

Sorry I haven't been around much been so stressed over the weekend as pre op was today and I was so worried about my weight. I have been very good let's not mention the peanut butter incident lol but the week before last I got my period over night I had gained 7lbs which I always do with period. So I ate right to make sure I didn't put any weight on. Last Monday woke up and period had gone and also 9 lbs so water weight and also lost 2 lbs - I jumped for joy.

Feeling positive for pre-op ...... To my horror i started another period Friday just gone stress mode kicked in. I was getting ready to cancel pre op. but I've been good all weekend and I actually had nothing to worry about as I weighed 1kg under what I was last time. I just wanted to show them that I had lost more since last appointment and I was worried incase I had put on even half a pound lol. I'll weigh even less when my period ends

I'm just so glad I continued to lose after my last appointment as this has allowed me to gain the water weight from my period but still not weigh more than I did last time I went to the hospital.


So pre op all in all went very well I had a lovely lady who took my bloods and also the swabs am very grateful she was fantastic. Just waiting for the results and hopefully everything will be ok and the op goes ahead.


Sorry to bang on about periods just well I had to let in all out lol xxx

I was worried lol as the last time i had my weight checked I was lighter at the hospital than I was at home and couldn't remember how much difference there was lol. I spoke to a nurse first and explained I was worried as I had gained from eating but from periods and I had lost some since last appointment she til me not to worry they don't cancel unless it's half a stone or over ( don't take that as set in stone though) so I was delighted when I weighed less then last time lol.

I honestly can say at this point it isn't bothering me about been on the milk diet as I know what's at the end of it and I can't wait. Not long now for your op either - well done by the way that you got the op day am so pleased for you x

I hope so lol. Hope all is still going smoothly with you Kate x

that would be a relief if they allowed say 1-2lb but after my last appointment in June, Mr Schroeder threatened that if I weighed even 1 gram over the wl target he'd set then he would discharge me. He even sent a letter to my GP saying the same I just daren't run the risk.

 

[amy_m]

I lost a lot more than my target, and I also didn't want to run the risk it's just not worth it. He didn't do that to me although I saw him for my endo only I saw Ali for my surgeons appointment to check target had been met. I've hear he is very strict and I dare say he would stick to what he has said.

Start the pre op now you could do the low cal one then switch to the milk one when it's ur 10 days before x

tbh I've been dieting since mid August and I've lost 11kg (some of that was put on whilst on holiday ) I got weighed last Friday and was 2lb under target, yesterday I was just scraping under, but I was under. I'm sitting glugging water now as I can't drink so much at work and I think that's my problem...got to drink more :sigh:

ah well, it'll work out I'm sure

 

[amy_m]

Yeah water is my friend too. The more I drink the more I lose. Great detox. You will be fine I'm sure you will I think we all should just stop stressing and enjoy out journey x
