I start mine Thursday!!!!!! Eeekkkk! Im nervous but fully prepared I think....what are you all doing for the 2 week prep? I get a small meal (6 oz chicken and 1 cup veggies) for dinner but liquid and sugar free jello the rest of the day.

I'm a fan of bariatric fusion. All their flavored are good.

I just got excited and sick with nerves after reading this! Lmao I'm excited mostly. My pre-op is Wednesday and 2 week liquid starts Thursday....not looking forward to not eating....my boss has declared the next 2 weeks after Wednesday "stay the F away from Karen" day...lol and nobody is allowed to eat anything near me...lol but seriously even if I wanted to eat something...all the people that know what I'm doing...they would rip the food out of my hands lol they are all very supportive.

My feelings on the diet that my dr (and others) have prescribed is that the point is to shrink your liver and make your surgery as successful and easy as is possible...high protein diets shrink your liver. So it's up to you to make your journey be easy as possible. Enlarged livers slow the surgery (which leaves you under anesthesia longer) and slows healing...so with that being said...my favorite quote is "it doesn't matter what you record, your body has the true log of your actions" so, this journey is in your hands, as is the rest of your future. What better time to use the new tools given to you than now? I am by NO MEANS saying I haven't had my food funerals but who doesn't want to lose EVERYTHING you can so start now I hope this encourages ya and its just my opinion

Hi Brittany - I'm also afraid ill fail but be strong...you can do this and have lots of tools and professionals there to help. Use the resources you have available to you and they will help make sure you succeed. I'm nervous about extra skin but I'd rather have that and deal with it later and save to have a tummy tuck than to deal with all my extra body weight destroying my joints. Plus my dr said its not a guarantee that you will have any. Well to the group happy to have you! I'm going March 6.

I just want it to be here already. I have zero patience and I'm the person who gets things done and I can't do anything to move this up I got fast tracked in my process with my drs cuz I was so ahead of the game with having things done! Lol he said analysts r so annoying and he wanted me off his back lol November 1st was when I came to the decision I was going to do this...and now here I am...21 days and 12 hours away how did everyone else decide they were doing the right thing? I literally woke up and it was the first thing I thought of (RNY) and it hit me that this is what I'm supposed to do. I believe God slapped me that morning and said "wake up!! This is your path that I have been pointing you towards and you have been ignoring!!" Lol!

Ooohhhh!!!! That looks good....hhhhmnmm i may have to get one

Thanks everyone just want to get this party started!

I have also been stocking up on sugar free foods and clear broths and the vitamins I have to take now and after surgery. I'm taking bariatric fusion vitamin chewables. They have all the requirement for post bypass people and I have to take 4 a day instead of multiple different vitamins. I also heard the same thing about gummies from my DR but my chewable vitamins are actually really good. So overall, I'm already....I've got all the stuff for my liquid diet and probably the first 2 weeks after surgery. Now I'm just re-reading my goals to make sure I have everything completed before my pre op date. Excited come on march 6th!!! P.s. down 22 lbs since my first visit jan 10th

Btb2013 I'm scared of heights I don't know if I have the juevos for that! Lol

I'm glad u r counting down too because I am too! I have my pre op appointment on Feb 20 and then I start my 2 week liquid diet. Very excited!! 27 days till surgery!!! I sort of wish i had a nutrition class with my group but I do have access to a nutritionist anytime I want to talk to her and an exercise physiologist too. But either way....ssssssoooooooooo ready to start with my new day 1

Wow....she sounds like a hot mess....lol I know my step mom is gonna Be the same way. She was a beauty pageant contestant in the 60's so u can imagine....blah blah blah shut up lady.

#1 just got butterflies of excitement when I read "post op" #2 I'm curious what is the one thing you are looking forward to the most...beyond health stuff...I'm looking forward to running for fun again....

Depends on ur foot...do u have a wide foot or high arch or anything like that? If u want to get a good shoe I would suggest finding a place that does an analysis on ur foot and find out what's right for u. New Balance where I live does it but u don't have to buy their shoes.

Congrats!!! I'm March 6th u should join our March dates thread

Is it correct that I see your surgery is in 2 days? congrats

Excited for you MarinaCC!!! Im really happy that I found this forum...I felt like I was alone in this because i don't know anyone who has had WLS so knowing that we are all out there getting this done...makes me so ready and excited for this

I hope. U get a March date with us

I'm super pumped just read through a post op post about "what size r u now" and it just made me so excited!!! I'm more focused than ever now to keep pushing sugars out of my diet though lol that's for sure...the less dependency I have I sugar come March 6th, the better I am gonna be in the long run...
