Thank you!!! Im super excited! This pre-op diet is getting easier and I hope it pays off big time! I go on Tuesday for the final pre -op, class, and to meet with the Anestigeologist. Then just a week and a half left! Im staying busy by getting lots of Christmas shopping done and mailed out. Then decorating the house and hopefully it will pass yhe time quickly!!! How are you doing wigh yours???

well my story is a bit different because I was scheduled for Nov 7, did the two week pre op and one day clear liquid (wasn't bad at all) was about to be wheeled into surgery when doc comes in and says your blood sugars are too high we are going to reschedule you for Dec. 5. I was devastated to say the least. SO now I have been working hard to get my blood sugars down, still sorta eating the pre op diet which is shakes and one low carb meal. But I will start it 100% day after thanksgiving. and hope everything goes my way on teh 5th. I have been dealing with some sort of kidney uti or something since saturday, on an antibiotic and waiting for family doc to call and tell me what the tests showed, Hopefully just a uti that the anitbiotics will take care of and I can get some blood sugars down and will be a go for December 5th. I feel like I had kinda a trial run, so at least I know what happens up to a point. If I wasn't in pain from whatever this is I would be in great shape. I have lost 20 pounds on the since july so that is good.

Melissa, Welcome!! Gald you are here and Vicki is right, TONS of great info on here. There is a December surgery thread on the pre-op board you should join. Feel free to check out us Nov folks for updates on how our surgeries are going. It helps ease the nerves.

As far as Xmas, I have decided everyone is getting gift cards and heck with the decorating. lol

Good luck to you!
