Anyone starting 6 month diet in october?

[nepagirl 24]

I just started my six-month wait. My first appointment with the surgeon was the 9ths, and my first nutritionist appointment was the very next day. I had scheduled the nutritionist appointment on my own so the coordinator was a little surprised. I told her I am highly motivated and completely on top things! Endoscopy is scheduled for November 22, I have scripts for all the blood tests and EKG, and once I get the psych eval done, all that is left are the nutritionist appointments. I even scheduled November and December already. Can't schedule Jan, Feb, and March until the 2014 calendar opens up. Highly Motivated!

Luckily I do not need to lose any weight during this 6 month wait. Right now I am only working on night-time snacking. Each month I will work on something else so that I am ready for a new life.

How wonderful that most of us in this thread will be sleeved in the Spring! What a fabulous time of year for new beginnings!

Hello, my nsme is Peggy and I stsrted the 6 month ptocess @ the end of Aug BCN of MI requies it. They call it supervised nutrition counseling. They dont require certain lbs 2 lose. I went to seminar first. I have seen a nurse practioner, dietician(did I spell that right), 1 doc who lets u know what tests u need b4 surgery and I had my phych eval. I also saw an exercise specialist who just wants me 2 add exercise slowly. I have 2 go back in Nov to go over my results 4 phych eval.

I started my six months at the end of Aug too. I've done just about everything except the pulmonary function test, which I'm scheduled to do that next week. I have no Idea what's next, I guess I should call and find out.

My biggest fear is what I'm going to drink post op. I hate water!!! The foods I can handle but no soda and limited juice.....:/

Do you like Crystal Light or Mio?

Do you like Crystal Light or Mio?

Yes I like crystal light. Mio is ok but I feel I can taste the dye. I know that's weird.

[nepagirl 24]

Not weird at all. That's how I feel about crystal light. My surgeon said I can drink those pre and post-op. Those count as part of your Fluid requirements. Of course, plain Water is best, but if you can't stomach it the flavored stuff is fine. I personally love water and drink it all day long, something I consider very lucky since I know a lot of people do not like it. Talk to your nutritionist. I'm sure you are not the first person to have that problem!

I am going in for my Endoscopy tomorrow. UGH, not looking forward to that. I am hoping they can go ahead and take my blood panel too. (since I can't eat for the endoscopy) and cant eat or drink for the blood work. fingers crossed.
