jmg1263 17 Posted November 21, 2014 Im all set and will have surgery on December 1. I am currently on the 2 week pre op diet and in 5 days am down 8 pounds. Thanksgiving will be TOUGH. I told my doctor that I AM going to cheat on Thanksgiving as this will be my last one before surgery. I won't OVER DO it but I am going to have stuffing. Very nervous but also looking forward to getting past the first week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brandyjune 28 Posted November 22, 2014 @@leemcel I don't have a date yet but I was approved by Cigna this week I have to wait until Dec 1st to hear back from my Dr about h pylori bacteria in my stomach. If I still have it I will have to do another round of antibiotics and won't get my surgery this year. The important thing is to get rid of that so I don't have any complications. If it comes back clear, I'll be able to get my December date. Just have to wait and see, and pray for good news! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmaddox1 15 Posted November 22, 2014 My surgery is set for 12/15! I am excited, but also very nervous about having the surgery. Jumped thru all the hoops tho' & it is finally going to happen. I start my pre-op diet on December 1st & have been researching different Protein Drinks & shakes. I keep telling myself I can do anything for a month (liquids), & I think back on all the diets & crazy things (like hypnosis & staples in my ear) to lose weight & realize that this will be the first time that I will make a New Years resolution & actually be able to keep it! I am so ready to change my life! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funsize 49 Posted November 22, 2014 Dmaddox1 I also start my liquids December 1 which will be my first day back from vacation so I will look forward to a 7 day detox LOL.

rn4babiesfl 5 Posted November 22, 2014 My surgery date is Dec 4th. I am nervous and excited. I started my liquid diet on Thurs. So today is only my 3rd day. Its Sat morning and I woke up and thought I am going to take kids to Breakfast and then remembered never mind. Its hard to wrap my head around thinking I won't have real food again until Jan. sometime. I have 3 kids and a single mom I just don't want any complications. I just have to do this for my health. I am going to be positive. Good luck to all who have surgeries coming up in Dec. Best Christmas gift to ourselves!???????????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
