Any October sleevers?

[Melissa1234 69]

I'm bipolar as well so I worry about my emotions too. I also worry about how I'll handle my 5 day Clear Liquids only pre op diet without hurting anyone lol. I'm approved and scheduled for 10/3. Pre op appt is sep 16.

Got the news today that they have moved my consultation with the surgeon up to tomorrow (was supposed to be in September) - so excited - maybe things will happen quicker than I anticipated - so praying. Just hope I can do this - so worried about the pre/post op diet.

I have the same type job. Never leave my desk. I pack a lunch or have delv or I dont eat. Do you have a kitchen at work? We do, so I bought one of those single serve blenders to mix my Protein drinks. You could do that. I plan on stacking my desk with high Protein foods. Peanut Butter, my Protein shakes, i have yogurts in the fridge at work. I am sure I will come up with other items. Read some of the posts on daily intakes to get some ideas about how you can fit protein in. I've been going throught them to vary my menu. Good luck with your appt. let us know how it goes.

I should be in October too. I just have 2 more nut visits and one is on 8/20/13 so maybe it'll happen.

Melissa1234 - they have to change one of my bi-polar meds - I am very worried because I finally have meds that work for me!

[Melissa1234 69]

I'm sorry they are messing with your meds. I assume it has something to do with the surgery? I am on abilify and lamictal and clonazepam. I hope whatever they switch you to works well for you. If not you get up their behinds about getting it right

Oct 12th it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.. lost over 100 pounds just stick to it you've already made the biggest decision by saying that you want to do it so just maintain.. the one thing I do want you to keep in mind this the way that people who you thought were your friends may treat you different

Melissa1234 - I am on Ability and Pristiq but my Pristiq is not crushable so I have to go on something else for a couple of weeks which scares the crap out of me. Thanks to all of you for keeping me grounded and realizing that this really is the best decision I have ever made - just can't wait for the actual surgery!

I'm worried about that too, but my doc allows me one small meal a day on the preop, so that's a plus. I work at a food court, so it'll be hard on my will power not to cheat
