I am taking it at the doctors office the day of my preop appointment. I've had to take many seminars and nutrition classes in order to get approved for insurance.
I had to take many nutritional classes that were filled with information and the office I am going to has lots of protein supplements and foods for sale. Have you taken the preop boot camp class? It's supposed to be very informative. I take that on Wednesday along with my preop appt. I have been struggling with eating the right foods simply because I feel like once the surgery happens I'll never be able to indulge again. I haven't gain weight however. Just maintained. I'm worried they won't let me have the surgery.
I haven't been put on a liquid diet either. Only low carb. I haven't lost much and I am wondering if they'll still do surgery if I don't lose weight. I go for my preop appointment this Wednesday and I am so anxious. Worried about not having food as a crutch anymore. Worried about the pain. But so excited to feel good again!
Hi! I am looking for anyone to give advice (both good and bad) about the surgery! I am one week preop and so excited. Also, Soo nervous. Would love to find some friends who are going through a similar situation?
My surgery date is set for July 14! So excited and nervous. I'm 24 and have struggled with my weight my entire life. I've never had surgery before and I am very scared of the recovery process. Currently on the low carb pre op diet and doing fairly well. I've lost about 2 lbs. Anyone close to this date and want to be surgery buddies ? It'd be nice to have someone to share this experiment with that understands.
