My Boyfriend says I'm obsessed. I read and post on 3 different support sites, I watch YouTube videos, I'm reading Dr. Alvarez's book and have spoken to my "Sleeve Sister" in CA. We'll be traveling to Mexico, both alone, so we've gotten to know each other on the phone, so that we won't feel so alone once we get there. I'm scheduled for surgery on Aug 1st. It's just a little more then 3 weeks away. I've been to GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe and Chamberlin's (a natural food store in Orlando). I'm trying to find some single serving Protein options without buying a large quantity of something I won't like the taste of. I've ordered the chicken Soup mix and an unflavored protein from Unjury. My plan is to buy several bottles of Isopure in different flavors for first 7 days when I'll be on Clear Liquids. I'm looking for low calorie, low sugar and carb choices. I've already purchased the Vitamins that Dr. Alvarez recommended (all chewable). I had to go to 5 drug stores to finally find the Gas X strips. I'm pretty sure the first few days they're more concerned with hydration then nutrition. I'm bringing some Crystal light drops with me and bullion cubes for the last night when I'll be at the Hotel. I don't think Airline Security would appreciate unlabeled powder in a zip lock baggie. Surgery is on Friday, I go home on Sunday evening... so I'll start my clear Liquid Protein once I get home. I'm packing extremely light since my post op instructions say no lifting more then 5 pounds for the first week. My poor puppy weighs 8 pounds and I won't be able to pick her up when I get home. Hopefully I'll be able to keep her from jumping on my tummy. I imagine she'll be crazy happy to see me when I get home. Kaity, my dog, and climbing in and out of my Miata are my biggest concerns. Sitting in my car is like sitting on the floor and climbing in and out of it may be tricky with my healing incisions. Yeah.... I've been just a little obsessed.

My overall wait has just been extended from 6 months to 7 months because my doc has a conflicting schedule. So instead of getting sleeved in aug it looks like I'm getting sleeved in the early weeks of september

There is nothing wrong about being obsessed with having the surgery. It's the beginning of a whole new sexier and healthy lifestyle. Just to be able to not have to wear jackets in the summer time or have stuff yourself in Spanx. We have something to look forward to. Not being the fat friend that everyone lies to you and say you look good in your clothes and you don't. I am so happy to be near the end of the process. I'm sure once my paperwork gets submitted I will be jumping through the roof.

I am so glad yo posted this.....I am obsessed....absolutely, positively obsessed. Paperwork was submitted a week ago, and I've been pretty calm about it until this morning.....and, today I want an answer now LOL.....I hope to know by the end of the week if it's approved......I am trying to read up on everything I can about this, watching videos....etc.

While being pre-op, has anyone gone to a support group for WLS? I'm thinking about going to one tonight, but don't look forward to the hour long drive.....
