Journey To Weight Loss Surgery: Pre-Op

June 28, 2017

Hey curvies!!!


If you follow my fitness page on Instagram you may have noticed my name change and a date. My second Instagram account is now Curvybee_RNY_ (here). Since January of this year I have been on this Weight Loss Surgery (wls) journey with the support from Nurse Practitioner, surgeon, my family, boyfriend, and friends I am proud to say I had my surgery May 12, 2017. 


Once I made my choice on which surgery I wanted, I then was hit with a laundry list of things to do to ensure I would be approved for my surgery. I started this journey back in January and with all of the testing and screenings I was done around April. I think the most helpful part of this process was attending two nutritional seminars that aided in a “this is what you are getting yourself into” type of format. The classes helped me plan my menus for pre-op and post-op. I was on a liquid diet for two weeks prior to surgery and it helped me build my discipline as well as work torwards proper planning for after my surgery. 


Below you can find my Pre-Op Menu (*I am not a medical professional, but I do want to help people who may be going through this process)
