Hello! My name is Jill and I am due to have the LSG surgery on December 16, 2019. I am starting to get a little nervous about the pre-op diet and figured it was time to join a forum to hopefully help with my jitters. A little bit about me:
Age 40
Height 5' 9"
Highest Weight 265
Today's weight 259
Goal weight 150
I have 4 children, 3 boys in their teens and 1 baby girl who is currently 3 1/2 yrs old (Ooops). My weight got much worse after my pregnancy with this little blessing. I look forward to having a healthy lifestyle after surgery and a change in lifestyle...a big one at that. Since having my last child (yes, I can no longer have anymore...also a blessing lol) I have developed HBP, moderate sleep apnea, GERD, and spinal issues (lumbar). I also have osteoarthritis in my knees, bursitis in both hips, and neuropathy in both feet. I am married to a wonderful man who supports me fully in my decision to take this step towards being healthy and more fit. Right now, I couldn't ask for more than his support on my journey.
Some things I am looking forward to hearing about is...
- How long do most have to take off work
- How long was your hospital stay
- How did you do with the pre-op diet
- How bad is the pain when up and moving
- And always, great recipes for life to come after LSG
Thanks for taking the time to read and I look forward to getting to know more about everyone and their journey thus far.
