April sleevers!?

[carlychloe2 106]

They said if all my clearances go through I should be having surgery in April as well. I have to have two visits with Nut beforehand as well. Was I. The paperwork process since late Oct. Slowed down by my decision to change wls clinics mid-stream. I have lost about 102 pounds so far, but at 450+ pounds I have plenty of weight to lose. I have been trying to follow the guidelines set out by the original place. Can't say it's been easy and I have overdone it on a few occasions, but I keep plugging away just trying to work towards my surgery date as best I can.
I would love to find a surgery buddy or a mentor. Anyone out there on a similar situation? Older, short, HW 450, CW 348, and surgery coming up in April.

I know, right?
Getting excited. Nervous too. But far more excited.
Right now just stocked up on SF Jello and string cheese for pre and post-op.
Have a dietitian (RD) appointment Thursday so might see what good post-op foods she wants me to have.
My finals were literally on the same day, and one day after my surgery. Thankfully uni had them moved to a week earlier for me. And there was much rejoicing.

That is so great that your finals were moved! This is my last week of class, thank goodness. I'm hoping to be feeling well enough to attend graduation on May 13th.

I forgot about sf jello and pudding! Thanks for reminding me

Day #2 of the 2 week pre-op liquid diet and the headaches are killing me!

I've been drinking plenty of Water, so I don't think it's dehydration. Trying to be really strong here as it's just the beginning.

Be strong and hang in there you don't have that much longer my surgery date is April 13th I start miles next week

I have already completed everything I need except they have no openings for my egd until April 14th so my surgery isnt until April 25th!

Only thing left is some lab work at the hospital, my pre-op apt, and my pre-op liquid diet. I feel like I've been doing this process for ages!

I'm April 24th too. I've been doing my low carb plan for the last three weeks on my own and have my pre-op class on April 17th, along with all my last appointments crammed on that day. I can't believe it's almost finally here! I'm more excited than scared, but still scared.

Hi, I am scheduled for April 4th as well. Doing the 2 week preop diet now, its tough but I know it will be worth it!
