chad2rad 491 Posted August 21, 2012 I just found out I was approved for surgery late Friday afternoon in the midst of running errands, projects and family stuff. Never had that OMG can't believe it. I have told a few friends, family. No one today to share where I am with this, so I came here. Not sure why I feel alone in this journey tonight. I did battle a cold this weekend. But just feeling blah. Trying to figure out how to rebuild my energy for my preop diet, planning for my new life. Once I confirm time off for this at work I will feel better. Glad I have u guys, and I am not alone. My wife is very supportive, but does not get all of this.... All the time. 7 Darkkyss, juls130, Piplula and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justine13 264 Posted August 21, 2012 I found out the same day Chad I'm shooting for a Sept 10 date. My hubby don't really doesn't understand either and I think he knows I'm going to do it regardless. This site has been sooooo helpful for me. Not so much for advice on what to eat- when etc as I will follow doctors orders to the T. But it's about the journey itself. Congratulations on your approval- be proud and excited! You've reached the next step 2 kmwheel and xavtay2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justine13 264 Posted August 21, 2012 Oooh that's a month away. Do u know what your doc requires for pre op? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chad2rad 491 Posted August 21, 2012 Two weeks, no carb meals, a shake once a day. Heathly meals before that.... Six weeks. He did not give me a number to loose. I think I gained a few this past month. Time to be all in, now. I have a month instead of eight weeks. Little nervous about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justine13 264 Posted August 21, 2012 Wow that seems like a lot! I see the doc next Tuesday but I'm hearing he doesn't require much of a pre op. Weird how docs are different. I wish she would- without her telling me I "have" to- I'm not likely to stick to anything. Hence- the need for this tool. Best of luck in the next few weeks 1 kmwheel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chad2rad 491 Posted August 21, 2012 My focus has been more on completing insurance requirements. But did not need a six month plan for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
