[earth2terra 24]

Any other preops out there scheduled for the 18th? Looking for a buddy or buddies. I'm scheduled at Houston northwest with dr balette in just 23 days . I'm so excited an anxious it's going to be the longest 23 days ever. I'm 5'4 and sitting probably at about 260 right now. I'd love to see maybe 140, I haven't be that weight since maybe 8th grade.. Wish me luck everybody here I go!!!!!

I would love to be your buddy... I'm not scheduled for surgery yet, but I was aiming for the 18th!!! I am also 5'4 and weigh 265 (as of this morning). Started last month at 275 (dr. office visit). I am located in the Bay Area, CA but I could definitely help support you on the boards. Do you have a pre-op diet? Mine will be a 7 day liquid fast prior to surgery, so don't have to start yet, just doing low carb as encouraged. I am 34 BTW in case you want to know.

Hi nice to year from you all we are all pretty close together with surg dates .DWBROWN :.My doc doesnt require much of a preop diet but I kinda wish he did. He says low carb low fat but nothing more specific . He is very specific and strict on the post opp diet though .. Soo I think I'm going to do 2 shakes and high Protein dinner just to get in the groove.
