THIS WEEK WAS HELL!!!
One tiny little cup of meal replacement ’shake’, plus one tiny little cup of salad. That’s NOT what I call a meal!
But you have to go on this diet for at least two weeks before weight loss surgery, and I’m determined to stick with it.
Oh the misery! I’m so hungry I could chew the leg off the table. Was so miserable I just went to bed early and slept.
Lost this week: 7 lbs (3.18 kilograms)Â YES, thats SEVEN pounds - one pound each day!
When I looked at the diets for before and after weight loss surgery, it seemed obvious  that it was the diet that caused the weight loss, not the surgery! The main effect of the surgery seems to be that it makes it less difficult to stay on the diet.
So when the surgeon told me to go on the pre weight loss surgery diet, this is what he meant:
each day:
three clinically approved meal replacements (shakes, bars, etc)
two cups of low carbohydrate vegetables (eg raw salad)
AND THAT’S ALL YOU CAN EAT !!!!
The day I realized that I had serious arthritis was the day I decided I had to lose weight.
Weight Loss Surgery seemed like the obvious answer.
I met with the surgeon, and discussed stomach banding and stomach stapling. I met with the nutritionist and read the pre-surgery and post surgery diets. I met with the physician, who said that I was a good candidate for weight loss surgery.
Then I met with the exercise physiologist. Ten minutes on an exercise bike! He did some calculations and told me that my fitness level was poor, and recommended I avoid surgery.
I am a Skinny Bitch Wannabe who was TOO FAT FOR WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY!
So now I'm gonna lose weight on my own.
