Right today i start my LSD for the second time this year, all my own doing I am ashamed to say...I haven't been on here since my op date 11th may this year. when I went in for my op and was all ready in my gown and my surgeon came round to see me before I went down.... she said unfortunately I hadn't lost enough weight on the lsd and they couldn't do the op as my liver most prob wouldn't have shrunk enough... plus they wanted to see more commitment from me....
I was so ashamed I was in tears.. I was so annoyed with myself it was all my own fault entirely. my surgeon was really lovely though she said its not the end, you can have another go at doing it but need to see dieticians and physios to get you in the right frame of mind and commitment.... I got a date through to see them after about a month and they wanted to see a weight loss of 5% off i think it was in around 4 weeks , the physyio was great and helped me feel very positive about it all... I lost the weight plus a little more when i went back to see the dietician they were really please ( so was I) .
I received a phone call the next week with pre op appointment when to start LSD also a new Op date, I was beaming as I thought it would be ages before i would be given another date, and it was only 4 months. I realise I am very lucky to get this 2nd chance so quickly and has made me determined no to be so stupid this time.
So had my pre op appointment yesterday and all good, I am starting the LSD today for 4 weeks this time i am going to do the food option, I followed the milk diet 1st time round and failed it by day 3 which was the beginning of the end for me on my 1st op, I obviously didnt have the will power i thought i had. So instead i will be counting the calories high protein foods etc... and wont be so stupid this time... I have been lucky enough to have been given a 2nd bite of the cherry (50 cal's = 100g) lol
and i'm so grateful for it.
