Anyone getting their surgery in October? I'm really excited about this journey, I still have to get approved by Tricare but My doctor says it going to be no issue.

I need someone my age to help me along my journey...

HELP!

I'm getting it submitted through Tricare tomorrow. I'm honestly scared bc idk if they will approve me. I'm 5''5, 234, have asthma, one kidney, borderline pre hypertensive,borderline pre diabetic, have knee pains all the time and have a family history of all problems. I hope they approve me, because if they dont, I dont even know what i'd do!

I would love to share each others journeys if possible. What if any is your pre op diet requirements and have u started it yet? Mine will be Optifast for two weeks Prior to surgey. Not so excited about that part of the journey.

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. 2-3 Protein Drinks a day and 2 lean meals a day, no fat, no fried, low carb, ect.

Started 14 day fast yesterday. This is the second day. Not really to bad yet. 5 protien shakes a day, cup of broth, cup of sugarfree Jello and a sugarfree popcicle.

ALL the Water, crystal lite, Decaf tea and decaf coffee I want. Was tired early yesterday and dizzy this morning but I can't imagine this for 14 days. I have cooked twice a day as usual for hubby but I'm sure that will get harder.

Hi, I am due to be banded October 11th, in Oxford, MS. Most people say they are starting a new chapter in their lives, well I think I'm going to start a new book. I am looking forward to this new start and would love to stay in touch with each of you.
