I've fought myself in the "I better eat this now while I still can" trap. Need to get my head in the right space over the next few weeks! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app PS - Me too about the "eat this now..." which is a terrible, dichotomous view that has plagued me my whole life. I am so ready!! 1 mimidi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I’m just trying to keep busy for two weeks, then pre-op diet. 1 Degey! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Degey! 8 Posted July 1, 2018 I hear you. I’ve been eating anything I had a craving for while I could but starting 7/5 I’m going to start eating healthier and 7/11 I’ll start preop diet. I’m definitely excited. Good luck to both of us 1 mimidi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anxious and nervous at the same time and sort of a dream like daze counting down to my reality. 1 Degey! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frustr8 7,886 Posted July 3, 2018 Hola Bari-Siblings! Ohio State has a 8 stage plan for my Bariatric future, I am now at Step 6-meet with BARIATRIC surgeon, in my case Bradley Needleman MD, have him tell me the length of my presurgical liquid liver shrinking diet, 1 week,2 week(usual) or shudder an entire month. 1 month usually reserved for BMI greater than 51. One nurse awarded 47.3 other supposedly equivalent RN said I had shortened and gave me 50.15, who's right? I vote for the lower, but like my vote on National Election Day- meh. Insurance is okay, at this point they say " Will you just operate, already? We're tired of this dragging on so long!" So Dr Needleman, Estimated Date of Surgery, and then Glory Glory🏥 It is finally REBIRTHDAY for me me me!🚩🚩😪🚩🚩🎉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HealthierME2018 17 Posted July 3, 2018 Hi all! I just joined this, I’m having my surgery July 23, not looking forward to the 7 day pre op liquid diet but I’m learning it could be worse & I could have to do it for longer. Looking forward to speaking with all of you, we can do this! 1 NurseSmiley80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
