    July surgery

    I'm on day 9 of my pre op diet, and I'm allowed food as well, very limited I'll say, but it's working out for me. 3 shakes a day, 1 serving of fruit, veggie and starch a day, until day before and clear liquids. I guess it all depends on your doctor on what kind of diet, if any, you'll be on.
  5. I started in February and im ready, so i can imagine you are! Ive been buying things and preparing for months already. I think I'm ready to pack my bag and move onto the next stage in my life.
  6. So anxious, nervous and excited all at same time. Been going through this process since December and I'm ready.
  7. Well, pre registration and visit with anesthesiologist are checked off. I'm on my 8th day of pre op diet, which is going well. It's getting real. One more week!!!
  8. I am in CT (near New Haven). I see your surgery date is soon. Good luck!! I'm just north of you'll in Agawam, MA  just down the street from Six Flags, such a small world.
  9. Welcome to the group and good luck on your pre op diet. You've got this!
  10. You've got this and all of us behind you. Glad you got bit but the positive bug. I've have had the same thoughts in my head as well.

    July Sleeve

    July 3rd here in Massachusetts. On day 7 of pre op diet. On 3 protein shakes on day, sf popsicles, Jello, broth, decaffeinated coffee or tea and of course water. Allowed 1 serving fruit, vegetable and starch a day (from their list). I also celebrate my 50th birthday v on July 30th, I'm nervous and excited, but ready to go.
  12. I also got my 3 shakes in today. Yay us!!! Love the support this group offers. Onward to day 7.
  13. Welcome home and here's to a quick recovery
  14. It gets better, I'm off Alieve too. They told me Tylenol too which doesn't work as well. Good luck
  15. That's the way I am, I figure I started this in December and I'm just a idle over a week to go, I can do this!! Looking at the big picture when I get to the other side. Glad you're able to do this struck by the diet, prepping us for after surgery.
  16. Omg, this is so my husband. He's so nice to not eat in front of me, but he's talking about food all the time, unknowingly I suspect. I just say, yes dear, sound great, wish I could sympathize but nope, let me just drink my meal , or even offer him a sip.
  17. I'm having the same problem. Yesterday only got 2 of 3 shakes I'm suppose to get down. Just a few more days, is what I keep telling myself.
  18. Omg, I would be in true he'll at your work. We have very generous employers. They're always buying pizza, donuts, Panera bread/ muffins, having different offs (last one was chili) and every Thursday and Friday each department is ordering out. I can say no to most stuff but it's the scents that get me and my tummy growling. I'm on my 2 week pre op diet and haven't strayed, so happy with my willpower, since there's nothing I can do.
  19. I'm lucky enough not to have to cook for anyone but being around the food.... Ugh. But, it is getting better. Not hungry either, but sometines I smell something and the tummy growls at me. 11 days to go.
  20. Day four of pre op diet... Actually felt hunger pains. Tried to keep myself busy and away from food, but when you work in dieter's hell some days are more trying.
  21. Thanks for the add!! I'm still pre op, enduring the two week pre op diet, but July 3rd will soon be here. Good luck to those that have had their surgeries and I look forward to reading your stories.
