Day 4: Pre op Diet for Gastric Bypass RNY

Day 4 = My second wind! I am feeling good, and sticking with the plan :) There have been lots of questions from family who recently found out about my upcoming surgery, as well as interesting comments from friends. Over all though... I am feeling very secure and confident in this decision.

Yeah... so far... I may be a weirdo, but this has been a great experience! Knowing that my day for surgery is coming, and that my missery with being fat is going to end soon... has given me this new ZEST for life!! LOL I am not even tempted by food at this point. Thanks, as always, for your words and encouragement!

Can I ask why mexico what do they do different ? Because of youtube it gave me courage cause I did start the process 2 yrs ago but I chickened out but then I had a aaaahhaaa moment and said it's time for myself and health . march 30 I see the shrink then it all get sent into my insurance and hope I get approved . But thank you for all your updates everyone on youtube gives me hope ! ! !

My insurance will not cover any type of weight loss surgery. I have to pay out of pocket. In mexico Gastric Bypass RNY costs 1/3 the cost as it does in the US. And the surgeon I chose is actually WAY more experienced and has better percentages than the doctors here in the state that I live in. I have done my research, and feel that Dr. Joya in Puerto Vallarta is the best choice I can make.

I'm so not looking forward to all the questions or people trying to talk me out of the surgery. Oh... I know one of my bestest friends WHO HAS HAD the lap band was trying to talk me out of it. Really upset me. But anyways... I'm so happy for you and can't wait to see you after surgery. OH! I can't wait for a surgery date. I'm one of those kinds of people who will bust down the door if given the chance LOL..:-)

That's exactly what I went through when I was pre op. I realized ALOT about myself. I began having hopes, dreams, and goals. Realizing that being fat, wasn't how it was going to end. It's a GREAT feeling!! You're going to do great!! Keep up the great work!! Just keep in mind, the preop diet benefits YOU. Makes it easier for the surgeon!! And I think it's a good test. Ya know?? :) You go girl!! :)
