So far March 4th seems to be the first date of surgeries in our group! I just want you all to know I'll be praying for you, and my thoughts will be with you as well!! How are you guys doing with your pre op diets (if you have one) and what preparations are you working on? I'm all giddy with excitement, lol!!

Hi Kathy!

I will say this...the liquid diet puts things in perspective...I went through so many emotions... I am on day 11 and now I am ok, but please drink Water, gatorade,juice.

I am March 26th. I can't wait, but at the same time, I am terrified. I have been heavy my entire life. I know this is going to be a tough journey, but one I can't wait to take. :)

I am march 5....quietly freaking out too, trying to contain it as much as possible! I am sure Monday I will be a mess once I get my call with surgery time. I am so worried I am going to get sick (cold) it is going around my office so I have been popping airborne to try to keep it away. I do not want ANYTHING to postpone surgery at this point!! Good luck, when do you go, wed 3/6?

I have been doing the same thing. When I hear someone sneeze or cough I cover my face and run! Lol I already have my time, I'm first on the table and I have to be there at 5 am on wednesday the 6th!! I'm freaking out about dumb things like will I have a roommate? What's it going to be like when u swallow spit! Lol dumb things...I made the mistake of watching a video of a live surgery....don't do that if u aren't forced to. I'm really just ready for this to be all over and I can start recovery already...

Not freaking out yet, but keep thinking that this time next week I'll be post-op!! I think you and I are the only ones that don't share a surgery date with someone else. We still maintain our"singleton" status.

Just curious- what state are you in?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
