Susan 2.0 278 Posted September 30, 2012 As my first day of pre-op diet starts today, a movie quote keeps repeating in my head: "This is crazy. This is crazy. This is crazy." :-) Anyone on this Oct 2012 thread also on "my fitness pal"? If so, feel free to add me as a friend: ANewMeAt42 Good Luck & speedy recovery wishes going out to our 10/1 OctoSleevers who start the rest of their lives tomorrow. See ya on the loser's bench!!

andreagoeldner 2 Posted September 30, 2012 Hi all, my date was moved from October 15 to October 8. Surgeon is dr. Leslie and I'm still having a DS. Nervous, excited... Doing some last minute shopping and having a food funeral or two today. I don't have a liquid diet. I have lost 34 lbs preop. Surgeon says that is why most drs require preop liquid diet is to have proven weight loss. He required weight loss of 5-10 percent before surgery is even scheduled. Good luck to all!

SkinnyMinnie2Be 255 Posted September 30, 2012 Totally random and off topic, but I can't get over how strong and long my nails have become since getting off junk food and adding Biotin. I'm going to paint them today even tho I will have to remove the nail polish Tuesday morning when I go to hospital 1 zenoosh reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
