I look forward to a new beginning, and attitude. I cannot wait till I feel I am finally in the right body....

Keeps fingers crossed employers ok the date, getting a little push-back from immediate supervisor....Debbie

Hello everyone! I am scheduled for surgery on Nov 5th. I got a call at work today from my surgeon's office, and my first thought was "Oh no - what's wrong?!" But to my surprise they were calling to ask if I could change my date to Nov 1st! I immediately said YES! I know it's only a few days earlier, but I've been working towards this surgery since February and I'm more than ready to go! I'm going to change my date on the list........

Hi. Could you add me to your list?! My surgery is set for November 5th. Can't wait. Glad to see I am in such good company. Just think how we'll feel and look by Christmas and the new year!

Hi, everyone! I just discovered this website. I am so eager to find others going through the same process because I know no one else who has done it. I also just moved to a new town and am feeling a bit lonely, which I think intensifies all my nervous/excited feelings about this surgery.

I am having surgery November 1st! I realized that is going to put me on the liquid diet through the holidays after the surgery, but I'm just so ready to get started and lose weight.

I asked my surgeon about pre-op liquid diets. He doesn't require one, but I asked him why other doctors did. He said it helps reduce the size of your liver (which is usually enlarged in everyone) and it is harder to perform the surgery because they have to lift up your liver to get under it to your stomach. He says, in his opinion, that three days of liquid diet is enough to redeuce it, but some doctors require longer to make sure their patients are committed to the new lifestyle changes. And, some insurance companies require it as well, but I'm self pay.

So, I've decided to put myself on a four day liquid diet before surgery. It feels good to be doing something to prepare for this surgery.

What else are you guys doing to prepare?

Welcome, Rhea!

I'm also having surgery on November 1! My doctor has me doing a two-week pre-op low-carb diet for the same reasons as your doctor mentioned. However, since my BMI is relatively low (35) he said he wasn't really worried about my liver. I've been following it pretty well but I'm not too worried about it either, I guess.

I've ordered Protein powder (Unjury) and stocked up on broth, sugar-free Jello, etc. I also have chewable Vitamins. I'm getting a little ahead on my lesson plans, etc. for school and I have notified my students that classes are cancelled on Thursday and Monday. Yesterday I sent out an email to my closest family letting them know what I'm doing and what it is and what to expect. I've also been to the nutritionist, psychologist, and my GP for labs. Tomorrow I go to the hospital for pre-op paperwork and Tuesday I go to my surgeon for my pre-op exam. It's been a hectic two weeks since my initial consultation!

Let's keep in touch on the board as we go through this! Good luck!

Hey, Longhorn! You're the one who teaches at ACC, right? I've taken classes there before. I know some of the English faculty as well.

I also have bought some Protein drinks and chewable Vitamins. I also had someone recommend liquid tylenol and Motrin, since pills can be hard at first. I have read two books in the last few weeks about weight loss surgery BEFORE AND AFTER and FIGHTING WEIGHT, both very helpful and supportive. I'm trying to get in the right mindset to make the most of this surgery and weight loss!

Have you tried the New whey Protein Bullets? They are three ounces and like 42 grams of protein. Amazing!! They taste ok, too, I think. It helps get that protein in such a small amount. I was warned not getting enough protein can cause muscle loss and hair LOSS!!! Sad that Hair loss scares me more than muscle loss right now, but there you have it!!

I'm so happy I found this board. I needed others to "chat" with about this.
