Hello! I just started my WLS journey July 9th. Can others post what types of pre op testing they had to have done?

lisalisalisa, I am just started this journey 7/9/13. I have to do a 6 month supervised diet plan. SO probably February 2014. I have met with my surgeon, had my physiological evaluation, and the NUT visit already. I meet with our medical director and exercise guru next week. I am rooting for you on your surgery! Keep us posted!

I have bought the Strawberry. It's actually pretty yummy! 8 oz of skim milk, little ice and 1 scoop of the mix. Whirl it in my personal drink blender and done! I like the idea above about getting the milk slightly frozen! Gonna try that!

I want a Diet Coke so bad too! I gave it up totally a week ago. 3 weeks ago I cut it to one a day. By the next week one very other day. This past week NONE! I still want it but I want my surgery more! Good Luck because I know how hard it is to NOT drink it! You CAN do it!

I had my visit with my surgeon today! I'm down 5 pounds from my visit with the nurse coordinator last week! It's been day # 2 without any Diet Coke too! I had been cutting back since my WLS seminar on7/9/13. I used to drink a 2 liter a day! I was driving home from the visit thinking hmmm a diet coke sounds so yummy! I knew I had to just forget about it but it was extremely hard. I figure if I can't make myself have will power now and change my mental state then I shouldn't have the surgery! Hopefully the next couple of months I CAN make the lifestyle changes so I WILL be succesfull!

I am trying extremely hard to not have "THE LAST SUPPER" as my WLS center calls it. I know there are so many foods I will miss. I just hope to have the strength and will power to say I'm more important than some food. (Even if it does taste soooooo good! ) ! I wish you luck!

Thanks for all the replies! I have to do a 6 month supervised diet. I have completed my Psych evaluation already. I meet the Surgeon tomorrow. I signed up for a 12 week course that teaches you how to eat properly as well. Appointments set for the exercise specialist and Nutritionist in the next couple weeks. Also have to do the 2 support group meetings.
