I completely agree with you. Been forever it seems to get to this point but got the call Friday for the 30th... now making my list of things to get done before the surgery (ya, I’m a note person lol). I’m excited, a little nervous, wishing it was already 6 months behind me... lol .

how are you feeling?

How funny! I got the call Friday as well lol!! I'm usually a note person myself, but fortunately I've got most of everything I will need for at least the first two weeks, just need to pick up the chewable vitamins tomorrow from my nut after my preop. So, I've been spending a weird amount of time staring at my calendar wondering how I'm going to get everything done. Oh how I pray to be one of the lucky ones who have no complications and are back at it in a week!

Honestly, I think I'm still in denial that this is finally happening. Hopefully after my appt tomorrow, I'll believe it.

My surgery is Jan 30, as well. I'm having the bypass. I went to a seminar in Aug 2017 and started the whole process in Sept. I've lost 30 lbs since Sept, and looking forward to a new me. Good luck to everyone!

I had a date back in August but gained 3 lbs so they send me back to nutrition. My surgeon also was gone to help hurricane victims so I had to wait for him to return. Military has a long waiting list

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      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.
