Wow...glad to see so many of us scheduled for Nov. 15th, my Mom's bday!!! Anyway, my preOp diet consists of high protein/low carb. So I've been doing a mix of shakes, meat, eggs, lf cheese and good veggies so far it hasn't been to bad. I'm nearly a week into and I feel good.
I'm just committed to doing whatever will make my surgery outcome and healing more successful. My surgeon requires this type of diet to reduce the fat and size of the liver, which lays over the stomach.
My approval journey was relatively short. I had my first WLS appt Sept 16th, all of my clearances were submitted to insurance (UHC) Oct 12th an I was approved on the 20th and scheduled for sugery this past Monday. So quick and I'm glad b/c I would like to have reach a small goal by my bday (Dec. 9th) and definitely seeing results when I ring in 2011!!
So excited to have a group to keep up with!!! Yay!
