I had my pre-op appointments yesterday and we are still good to go for surgery next week.
Some good news about the new plan is that I won't have some of the malabsorbtion problems that I would have had with the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. The not so good news, is that my body won't react poorly if I try to eat things that are food I should not be eating. One reason, gastric bypass is such an effective tool to weight loss is because of how ill you can become if you eat poorly. I don't know about you all ... but I hate getting sick! That definitely would have deterred me. So, I will definitely appreciate prayers and encouragement as I go forward.
With the pre-op diet, as of yesterday I have lost a total of 47 lbs so far. I have broken one barrier that I have not been able to break in quite some time, so that is encouraging! :)
