July Sleever

[jas84047 72]

Started my 2 wk pre-op liquid diet today. I've had 500 calories today and a total of 112oz of liquid. Oi! I'm doing OK so far hunger -wise but this peeing every hour is for the birds! I even had to leave in the middle of a conference call at work today.... so embarrassing. LOL

July 7th for me! I'm going on vacation for July 4th so I am going to thoroughly enjoy myself ! I am getting more excited but nervous about recovery. I am praying everyone's surgery and recovery goes smoothly!

Do you not have to do a pre-op diet?

I don't have to do a pre-op diet ???? just no food or drinks after midnight the day before my surgery.

July 23rd for me. I am in the UK, so will be interesting to see how we all differ with follow ups.

I just got my official letter in the post today (with the bill which is the nasty bit), so it is feeling like its just around the corner. 5 weeks to day and counting!

I am getting so big I am afraid to weigh myself. Maybe I just won't until my presurgery diet starts.

I am feeling the same way. The stress of not knowing is killing me. But I found out today that I am approved!!! Just waiting for the coordinator to call me. I even told her I needed to know because today was the last day to put our work schedule in and she still didn't call me back! I called the insurance company and they told me I was approved! Hopefully I will get July 6!

Date was changed to July 7th .. Only 1 day out but this waiting sucks.. Wish it was tomorrow

I know how you feel. While I was in the options classes and when I was done and just waiting for a call from the surgeon's office, I felt like my time would never come. You have a date, that's exciting!

[nevadapinkprincess 60]

I know.. Time is standing still right now... Oh well we have the rest of our lives right!

On day 3 of 2wk preop diet. Yesterday's Migraine was horrible! Today's headache is a lot less painful. I really haven't been too crazy hungry... but I have my sons birthday cake to make & a big family dinner on Sunday to make it through & I'm very worried. When I was at my preop doc appt yesterday I spoke with the PA who said I could have 1 light string cheese to help my headache and hunger as long as I didn't go over 600 calories total after having my 3 shakes & Clear liquids. That string cheese has been the highlights of my day yesterday & today...LOL. I'm also doing the Premier Protein shakes as well as Muscle Milk. I've lost 4lbs in 3 days.

I live in northern Saskatchewan, I am a teacher here. I'll be heading home to Ontario next weekend and then flying down to Texas on the 3rd.

My pre-op diet is 3 Protein shakes per day (I'm using some left over medifast shakes that I have), any G2 gatorade I want, crystal light, sugar free Jello, chicken or beef broth, lots and lots of Water, and 4 oz of chicken, tuna, or canned ham for supper. I start on Sunday! I'm excited!
