@@SuzeMuze Thank you SO much for sharing this information with me! I agree with taking the day off before surgery to make sure the last minute things are in order. I would rather be over prepared then under when it comes to something like this. I've never had any type of surgery before, let alone one that will change my life forever, so I'm very nervous and anxious. But also very excited of what's to come. I heard about when they come to give you food in the hospital they just give you standard, so it is up to you to remember what your portion should be. And definitely NO straws. I've been trying to practice that. Still hard bc sometimes I do it and don't even know I have a straw. Same with drinking and eating. That's going to be really hard too. I've done that all my life, so changing that is going to be difficult. Its good hear about protein. I've seen a lot of people on here saying how hard it is for them to get in all of their liquids. Which made me pretty nervous about it too. I will do what I can at first, strive for the goal, bit know if might take some time. I will definitely stay away from the scale too....for a while. ????

Thank you! 3 days before, ya that is nerve racking. I just pray it all goes well and no clots after! Thank you for sharing! I am hoping too that losing weight will help with all of this. I wish you the best on your surgery as well!! :-)

Hi guys! Just found out not too long ago my surgery date is December 23rd!! Merry Christmas to me! I am like a lot of you on here... So excited, yet so nervous. I am feeling a lot of different emotions, trying to get a handle on them all!

Congratulations on your surgery!!! Thank you SO SO much for you tips! I have my preop class on Dec 8th. My BMI is close to 60 so I will definitely be on the 2 week liquid diet. I've heard it is really hard, but I also know how crucial it is to follow it to a T for the surgery. I want to make sure it goes as smoothly as possible. And like you said it will help me feel more prepared for what's to come. I have to bring my vitamins and protein powder etc with me to my preop class to make sure I have everything correct, which is good. I'm nervous about making sure I get everything I need. I am 27 years old and right now, my mom and sister are living with me. I am working full time, but my mom is not working and sis is only working part time. No kids. But they do support me and I have a lot of family and friends who support me as well. As for my mom and sis its going to be a a major change too, with just the lifestyle we're used too. I have to make this change for myself, I want to get healthy and finally start living! I hope they want to join the journey with me, but at the same time if they don't, I can't let it effect me any. I'm doing this for me :-) Thanks for the Gas meds tip! I will definitely make sure to bring something for that!! Sounds painful!

wow! That's coming up soon!! I wish you the best! It is so exciting but also very nerve racking. So many emotions about it really.

I am having the Gastric Bypass. Just got my surgery date yesterday! December 23rd! What a Christmas gift! I'm so excited, yet so nervous! I had a blood blot in my lung a little over a month ago and am now on blood thinners most likely for the rest of my life. I also had a blood clot in my leg last year that traveled to my lung. So, just nervous with the history of blood clots and surgery. I am so so excited though! I am so ready to get healthy! God has blessed me and gotten me through so much, I know he will this surgery as well! Its all in God's hands! I look forward to hearing from others who are having surgery in December too!

Just got my date yesterday! December 23rd!! What a Christmas Gift! I'm so excited, yet so nervous!
