I GOT MY SURGERY DATE!

[LoveMyBypass 251]

So, today was my consultation with my surgeon. I was so nervous because I was supposed to lose 25 pounds and I've only lost 22. BUT everything went well. We discussed which surgery was right for me and he agreed with me when I said I wanted bypass surgery. I'm a sugar freak and he agreed that the bypass was the better choice. He explained a few things I already knew, I asked all the questions I needed to ask. My number one concern was... When can I go to Disneyland? Lol. He said right after but please please please remember to drink drink drink or you'll end up in the hospital the next day for dehydration.

Anyway, my surgery date is May 24, but I am on the cancellation list. Who knows maybe I can get surgery earlier. It's finally real to me. It's finally happening and I am so excited.

Just wanted to express my happiness.

Yes! So even with the delay I had, I got my date for 7 weeks after I graduated. I think you'll have a good chance getting your surgery by August 1

2 Protein Shakes a day, one small meal with 4oz. Protein half cup veggies, started biatric Vitamins, makes me have headaches, diarrhea, feel tired, he said its to cleanse u out and shrink liver b4 surgery...ugghhhh

Ohhhh yes... I was on a 12 week supervised diet plan. They weighed me every week. I had to eat 1200-1400 calories a day. Lately, I've been having the same as you're doing now. 2 shakes and a meal to make weight for my consultation. And yes I agree about the head aches. I get so moody. I really hope the head aches aren't this bad after surgery since we won't be eating a lot. I will be doing the 2 shakes and one meal up until surgery.

Are you having an pre-op education appointment too? Mine is Tuesday

I wrote down all my questions in my phone so I wouldn't forget anything. Also, I recorded my whole appointment because I didn't want to forget anything he said. I have heard it twice and there are a few things i didn't remember him saying.. Lol.. Maybe I was too nervous. But still... It's so exciting at the same time.

I hope your appointment goes great!
