SleeveMe247 184 Posted August 30, 2015 @@Jay05 My Bariatric doc doesn't require a pre-op diet. Amberc425, you mention the no smoking 8 weeks pre-op. I found out last week that my doctor turned down two patients because they smoked and weren't planning on quitting after surgery. Tough love I guess. I'm so glad I quit, it's been 13 years on Sept 17th. My surgery is set for Sept 16th, so I'll have two anniversaries to Celebrate in the coming years. When is your surgery set for? My surgery is on Sept 4th at 2pm with check in at noon. I can't wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mykdzmom 387 Posted August 30, 2015 Is it me or did all of this seem to ramp up a notch when you got your date? It is almost like I am in nesting mode again. Yesterday I trimmed the shrubs, cleaned house and was in a square things away mode. I got a lot done and managed to burn some calories at the same time. It just finally feels like I am making progress. Up until I received my approval and date, I had invested 9 months of hoops and waiting. It feels good to have a date to work toward.

I agree, I'm gonna be straightening the house today, going to costco to get my Protein, and to the grocery store to get my broths, Jello, etc. I think it's a normal thing to want things in order before embarking on something this big. Imagine coming home from surgery to a messy home, I imagine that would escalate one's level of stress lol. I've watched a lot of videos and the people that seemed to be most successful with the surgery were those that were organized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blueyedpryncess 10 Posted August 31, 2015 I got my date!!! September 30th!!!! I'm super excited but also pretty terrified! I'd love to find a "Sleeve Buddy" who's having their surgery around the same time so that we can kind of go thru the pre & post surgery together! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
