April Surgery Date!

[Jerseygirl82 18]

Well, I went in to the surgeon today to get my date! April 6th! I am so excited. And I will be very busy over this next month. My surgeon has A LOT of tests he wants done before surgery. So very excited.

But apparently I'm the only one this excited because my husband told me that if I am this happy right now it means I am not being realistic! What? Is he crazy? He totally killed my buz.

I am also on April 6th! Doing my Psych Evaluation on the 16th, EGDon the 23rd, then pre-op diet starts the 24th, which I am really nervous about! Good luck and sorry he killed your buzz! Sometimes I think the hubbies just don't realize how to and not to lend support! So far my hubby has been really supportive but he's a shift worker and not here a lot to help with household and 3kids! I think it's going to be overwhelming at times but my mind is made up! I am not going to fail! Keep posting about where you are in your journey and I'll keep on as well! April 6th can't get here soon enough!

I'm so excited for you both. Could you tell me about the pre-op diet? how long are you one it and what can you eat?

[txmomof3 1]

Sounds like pre-op diets vary from dr to dr but mine through True Results is 2weeks and includes 2protein shakes a day and 1meal of 6-8 oz lean meat (basically chicken, fish, or lean beef, 1cup of green veggies(no peas, carrots,potatoes) & 1cup fruit (no bananas)! Any amount of sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles plus any non carbonated drinks with less than 10 cal/serving and less than 2grams sugar/serving! Sf kook-aid, crystal light, unsweetened tea are unlimited! Doesn't sound that bad but I am preparing myself for it to be one of the hardest things I have ever done! Hope this helps!

Ladies, if you havent already done so, join the Springers group on this site. It's for anyone with a Mar, April or May surgery date.

On March 5 All of my paper work was been turned into the insurance company. Now it is a wait and see game. If approved I suspect to be in surgery in April.

I'm set for April 2nd. I've been mentally preparing, researching and stocking up on Soups and such.

VERY excited!

Springers is a very supportive group and always looking for new friends. DebraG I like your ticker counting days! I think I need one of those!

My preop diet is to lose 5% in 90 days or 10% if I don't do 5 in 90. I just had a weigh in ...down 3...amazingly...and have 5 to go! Asked the coordinator about preop diet...she said I am on it. I am doing a Protein Shake in am then 2 or 3 times a day I can have salad, chicken or fish and cottage cheese as much as I want but only as much as I can eat in 20 minutes. Set a timer then once it goes off we are done! 60 oz of Water too.

My pre op diet is 2 Protein Shakes and a weight watchers or lean cuisine meal. I can have one sugar free Jello as a snack. It's not much but it sounds like more than others get.
