Who will be starting their pre-op diet in december ? Lets be friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taking_back_my_life 21 Posted August 10, 2015 I'm hoping to start my journey soon. I attended the initial WLS seminar this past Tuesday and handed in all of my paperwork. I now have to make an appointment with the nurse practitioner which I'll be calling tomorrow to schedule. I too have to do a 3 month program for insurance so I'm hoping to get it started soon. I've been reading so much online I'm becoming obsessed and just want to get started all ready! I'm glad to have found this site, I've learned so much!! Looking forward to meeting new people that understand what I'm going through Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klb827 0 Posted August 11, 2015 Hello, i had surgery 5-27-15. I did 6 weeks on opti- fast, i got 9 boxes left over. The weight loss was slow, the men lose fast. It is just not fair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like you I have to give up soda and Halloween candy was hard. I am still going through some of the tests before seeing the Nutritionist in December. If you would like a friend on this journey, I would love to be one. Carolyn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starting weight 242. I have long journey ahead but I'm excited too and happy to start my new healthy life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cs59 0 Posted December 1, 2015 Hi Careysgirl. It looks like we are doing this about the same time. I have my last np appointment on the 15th. I still have the 2 nutrition appointments, the EGD and cardio to go. The doctor I go to doesn't have a long preop diet, so I am looking forward to getting this going. Let me know how you are doing.
