I am so excited and frightened, tomorrow is my surgery and i still cannot believe that this is what i am doing. It will be outpatient. Any advice for pre and post op (yes ive been reading over the boards but want a single thread here i can refer to)? Any calming words of advice?

Your work for now is done.

Take a deep breath and do-------absolutely nothing.

You have done the really hard part. You have recognized your obesity. You have taken responsibility for it and have acted. You have read , researched, listened and learned You have jumped through the hoops. You have done the pre-op diet. You completed all of the pre-op consults.

Now it is time to "let it go". It's your surgeon's turn to do his part of your bargain.

So, for tonight-- do-----absolutely nothing except get some sleep.

And tomorrow? It gets real.

Meet you on, "The Losers' Bench".

Now, GOOD NIGHT! :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
