The day before my surgery!!!

Aug 27, 2012

Hi everybody! Well this week was a real pain in the butt, but i managed to get through the two weeks of liquid diet. I had to eat some food for God sakes!

I'm feeling pretty good today after i got up i went and worked out for45 minutes and then showered and i was off to work. I think that today is going to be a good day and I'm not worried about the surgery as much as for my wife and the kids. I think they are having a bigger time thinking about me and worrying how the surgery is going to have an impact on my life.

I don't want everyone to take this the wrong way and have it sound selfish by saying this, but i have to do this for me and for my family. I want to be able to give them a better life and be able to do the things they want to do and by being over weight i am not able to give them the things they need and be able to play and run and be a good father and husband.

I hope that those who take the time to read my story will find it in them selves to take the step towards regaining your health and self esteem and not be afraid to have weight loss surgery. I will see you all on the thin, no, the healthy side of life.
Take care!!!!!

Two weeks of liquid diet phase!

Aug 14, 2012

Hi everyone, today i start the Pre-op two week liquid diet. I have been on the slim fast 3-2-1 diet for a couple of months and i'm ready for the challenge of doing the all liquid diet. I like the EAS AdvantEdge carb control shakes the best. I am also adding the EAS Whey Protein to my diet as well, very low sugar per serving and i like the taste.
I have deffinately lost some weight, maybe around 320 lbs now. thats 20 from my heaviest weight of 340. I hope to reach 290 lbs on the day of surgery.

Had visit to Dr. Aksade's office for surgery evaluation.

Jul 05, 2012

I spoke with Dr. Aksade and we agreed that the sleeve would be the best surgery for my current situation. I must say that i have seen Dr. Aksade for over a year while attending the weight loss meetings and it was strange meeting him in his office. I feel like i have known for many years and i was very comfortable sitting and talking with him.

Ann gave me my surgery date as August 28th 2012 and i have scheduled my Upper GI series for the week of the 10th at Easton Hospital. It seems like the time from my first weightloss surgery visit to Easton Hospital back in June of 2011 and today seems like time has flown by so fast.

I am working on losing the pounds before surgery by going back on the slim fast diet i started a few months ago. I had some trouble with the slim fast upsetting my stomach.
