Surgery 5-13, so excited- anyone else scheduled for May 13th?

[valhughes 24]

So today I had my last nutrition visit (my ins requires 3 month diet) and also my last shrink visit. They said everything looked great and I should be ready to submit to ins which could take about 2 weeks. So right now I'm tentatively set for May 13 and I'm so excited. Anyone else scheduled for May 13th?

I also am having my surgery on May 13th but I am having mine in Tijuana a lot of emotions going thru my head but I can't wait. Where are you having your surgery if I may ask?

it will be here before we know it. Are you doing anything special to prepare yourself for your surgery? I have cut way back on my eating trying to pre-pare myself for pre-op liquid diet

I'm on may 15th and was supposed to start high Protien/ low carb diet today before liquid diet phases on the 29th- but didn't! Ack... I have to get into the right headspace.... why ia everyone's preop diets so different??

Hi, I'm scheduled for 5.01.13 I started my preop diet 04.09.13. Can't believe I have a weEk behind me.

Preop diet: 2 Protein shakes at Breakfast, lunch with 2 1-2 oz Protein snack and for dinner is 6 oz lean meat w/cup of green veggies. I have to say this has been very difficult for me. I am doing better now, but those first 3 days were a killer for me. As hard as it is I am truly grateful for having to do it. This has taught me how much I need to deal with emotionally and how I need to change food from being a friend to being a source of nutrition. I never realized how much I used food as a sedation substance. I lived off of junk food, and actually think I've been addicted to their additives.

I do not want to be a prisoner to food and this is the first step in the process of freeing myself from prison. I'm so excited about upcoming surgery and I know in my heart I'm on my way. I realize there will be pain, trials, learning experiences and major changes in my relationship with food. BRING IT ON!
