carelabra 36 Posted May 2, 2016 I start freaking out a little when I realize it's only 25 more days till this journey really starts! 2 weeks Liquid Protein diet starts the 11th! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App My surgery is in 13 days... I am also freaking out, had my pre op blood work and EKG today and have my surgery clearance spot with my internal med doc on Tuesday... Then pre op with surgeon on 9th. Time seems to be going fast... I am noticing I am having somewhat difficult time mentally on this liquid diet, it's sad how much food is has a hold of me... All the cravings are kicking in just because i can't have it at the moment and I know it's just my head... Trying to really pay attention to it and change my way of seeing food and and keep staying busy. I told someone today about my surgery and they asked me if I am excited... I feel like I can't get excited because I know it will be tough and since I am revision from lap band I am scared I won't lose my extra weight... Wow....guess i needed to let things out here lol I can certainly relate Username taken! I have surgery clearance with PCP on the 5th, pre op blood work on the 16th, Pre op with surgeon, nutrition and surgery nurse on the 17th. At this stage I really don't know what to feel. I did well with the no carbs phase, but the 2 week liquid Protein diet has me worried. I'll be praying for strength for you!!

UsernameTaken 283 Posted May 2, 2016 Hi I'm having mine 17th may x Start Pre op diet tomorrow Sent from my D6603 using the BariatricPal App Day before mine Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App How are you feeling xx hope ur excited Sent from my D6603 using the BariatricPal App Yes. Excited anxious nervous. You? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Same but going to keep positive I'm taking arnica now as it will help us with bruising and swelling xx looking forward to my new journey xx Sent from my D6603 using the BariatricPal App Be careful taking arnica it thins blood and I don't know about you but I will be given blood thinners before and after surgery to minimize risk of blood cloths. I know I am supposed to stop taking any medicines that are anti inflammatory and blood thinning at least a week pre op. Just don't want you to lose more blood than you might.
