LR6909 10 Posted June 14, 2011 OMG!!! Congratulations! I wish my surgeon's office would do that. But its okay. I am so excited for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DDA84 2 Posted June 14, 2011 Yay for all of us! I can't wait to hear all of your stories!JayMiss - I haven't started my diet yet; doc says 2 weeks prior...but I'm also nervous about it!!! I get two shakes and a light meal, which I guess is better than no solid food haha! But I'm trying to start eating better anyway, just to get prepared.

Texasmom65 23 Posted June 14, 2011 Thanks everyone....and woo hoo to all of us having surgery the same day !! I only have to do a 2 wk pre op diet. I get 5 shakes or Protein bars per day, plus one regular meal. I'm glad since the first week of the pre- op diet I'll be in Florida on vacation. I have my pre op testing and pre op nutrition class on July 6th. Are you all as scared as I am. One minute I'm excited, then next I'm sorta freaking out. LOL It's still weeks away and I couldn't sleep last night, thinking about it all. Give me a glass of wine someone...oh wait, I bet we can't have wine.

anonynurse 13 Posted June 15, 2011 We have the same surgeon and my surgery is tomorrow. I am revising from a lap band (done by another surgeon). I am pretty nervous at this point! Lap Band came out two weeks ago and I am finally feeling more up to speed from that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
