Got a date sooner than I expected...now I'm panicking

[mollydeez 25]

Okay so I got my date yesterday and it's for way sooner than I anticipated. October 17th!!! Holy freaking soon...now I'm bugging out because reality is setting in.

What I'm most worried about is the pre-op diet. Anyway you guys can send me your grocery lists, must haves, tips, ANYTHING that can possibly help me....thank you so much!!!

I was on pause for SO LONG due to another medical condition that when I finally got my date it was just a couple of weeks away also! I actually had to take a second date a few days later, just to feel like I could get all my ducks in a row. I understand all the emotions flying around you!

thankfully I did not have a two week diet ahead of time, just the normal fasting the night before surgery and bowel clean out.

all I can say looking back is it was completely worth it. I look forward to seeing your success.

@@mollydeez Believe me - it's better this way - you don't have weeks to obsess about it! I have mostly everything I need for my pre-op diet (starts 10/4/16) and bought a few things for post-op (only the 1st week that I"ll be on Protein shakes & clear liquids). I ordered a few comfy front enclosure bras and I had already bought a food scale. I have a few different Protein Shakes but I am not sure what I'll like after so I didn't get too many. I'm going to make my own broth and freeze it. I have my pre-op teaching class next week and will see if they recommend anything else.

What??? You and I are the same size! I am still waiting for insurance approval so I am jealous of you. Right now I just want to get this over with!

As others have said, get the house clean and make sure you have everything you are going to need for just after the surgery. Good luck to you
