January 15th, 2015 Anyone?

[monopoly2015 27]

Day 3 and day 4 were horrible for me. Day 5 wasn't so bad at all. Day 6 was even easier.

Awesome that you didn't give in. I do that in the late evenings and know that when I wake up in the morning I will feel better, not have those cravings, and be so glad that I didn't give in. But I have to say that my dr changed my diet from two weeks to one, so technically I don't have to start til this thurs but I ate yesterday and I'm starting over today. Been on it since Jan 1st exception for a couple meals so I know it won't kill me lol

Just got my date today and I am scheduled for January 19th! I haven't been put on any Pre-Op diet yet, but I have my Pre-Op appointment scheduled for this coming Thursday, so I am sure I will find out then what kind of diet it will be, since I will be less than 2 weeks from my surgery date. I'd like to stay in contact with those close to my date as well

Hey champagne! That's great! Very excited for you! Keep in touch!

I am so excited and happy, today is a week since I started my preop diet and I have lost 11lbs. ???????????? Surgery is on Thursday, I can not believe its almost here.

That's great! I'm so glad we're on the same date!

So, I had my pre-op appointment, which included instructions on both pre-op and post-op diets, bloodwork and final meeting with my surgeon. Funny that I didn't have any questions for him, lol. I've been researching this forever, or so it seems anyway I don't have to do an all liquid diet, just have to stay under 1000 calories, which isn't that bad at all. He asked me if I was nervous, and I'm not the slight bit as of yet. Anyone here getting nervous yet? How is everyone doing?

I had my time being nervous a few weeks ago. Wrote a "just in case" letter to my family. I don't know why I wrote it but it made me feel better. I'm not nervous much now, just can't wait. Still watching the calendar like a little kid. I haven't had many questions for my surgeon either because I've done so much research. I only had the more technical questions for him. He was surprised by my questions and could tell I had a firm grasp on the situation. I'm doing good, liquid diet, a lot of hunger off and on since I'm still cooking for my family. I'm only a little nervous about catching a cold or flu. I would flip if I had to cancel. But I'm so excited.

My sister asked me if I was nerves or scared and I told her no. I am leaving everything in Gods hands. I have been doing good with my preop diet and I am praying that continues after surgery. I have been stressing about not starting my period because I do not want to be on it during surgery. I was actually excited that I started this morning.

Hi everyone! My surgery is Jan. 15,2015 6 days before my birthday. This is the best birthday present ever! Good luck to everyone and let's all keep in touch! Is everyone nervous?

[downsizingdiva 459]

Hey @@mommyoftwogirls! So excited to have buddies! I'm not nervous...at the moment anyway. I can't believe it's finally so close seems like I've waited an eternity. 10 months is pretty close to eternity in wls world anyway ha.

Oh gosh I was doing good until my dr decided one week was enough when I had been doing it early anyway, then when he said that I went and ate because I really had 3 days before I really had to start according to him, bad mistake, if I would have just stayed on it I wouldn't have had a hard time the last few days.

Can you go back on it?? When is your surgery again??

[downsizingdiva 459]

Jan 15th. Oh yes I started on Jan 1st, then at my appointment on the 5th he said one week would be fine. Well I went out to eat that day and the next night. So basically I started over wednesday. I had til Thursday but I just wanted to get back on track. Anyway, if i had just stayed on it instead of eating out those two days, even though I was allowed to, I would probably have not had it so hard this time. Saturday night i though I was gonna lose my mind with head hunger and that's not like me. Anyway, evenings are the hardest for me. So I've only got three more to go.
