weaning off coffee... (till we can be re-united again).

The countdown is real people, 9 days to go. Totally terrified.

13 days away from surgery and I’m definitely feeling nervous. I’ve read and re-read all of the information booklets from the hospital almost daily. I’ve watched a ton of YouTube videos and I’m looking through my weight loss surgery for dummies book. I’m ready for 9/17, the wait is making me anxious.

I'm with you on this feeling of the NEW beginning going to start!

Had the Endoscopy today! Check off - Done Next is the Hospital visit and get the time of surgery. 9/11

I started the liquid diet early because it was easier to start on the weekend home than at work. But I can sure tell now when the 3 hrs. are up for my next shake. I'm surprised that I'm getting the 64 oz of Water in and sometimes wanting more. I found that putting in a 8 oz glass is making all the difference.

Yesterday I completed my first week of pre-op. Clear Liquids + Protein Shakes and a regular dinner.

Today I start my next phase of pre-op which consists of all clear liquids and Protein shakes. This phase will last 3 weeks.

Surgery is 9/25 and then I'll follow this same pre-op diet for at least 4 weeks post-op.

I'm doing pretty well so far until people get into long conversations about food. Then I get head and heart hungry. Physically I've not experienced a whole lot of hunger as I feel like I'm sloshing most of the time from all the liquids.

Staying strong.

Hi I’m having a revision from the lapband to RNY on September 18. Started preop
Diet September 3. I’m really nervous!

[MissPoodle 58]

I start my preop diet today...it makes everything more real and the nerves are kicking in. The diet is 3 Protein Shakes per day and 2 cups non starchy vegetables with fluids like Water, diet cordial, black tea and coffee. For me the fluids will be water and herbal teas...I'm off coffee and tea and can't stand diet cordial. As I haven't been able to tolerate dairy since my sleeve...i can't do the Optifast shakes so I'm using soy Protein isolate for my shakes instead. So here goes!!
Very excited about this new chapter in my life. Now just impatiently waiting for the 19th!

Hello,

I am scheduled for gastric bypass September 6th in Tacoma Washington. 6 days into preop diet and it is getting easier. I have to agree with Frustr8 that I am more concerned about life if I did not do this. I just keep reminding myself I want to be here for my grandchildren.

GOOD LUCK tomorrow! Im counting down til i get on the plane saturday for Mexico and then surgery on monday the 10th. Let us know how it goes!

I had surgery on August 17th. I go for my post-op appt tomorrow. So far so good. It was a struggle at the beginning and of course I had a meltdown and wished I didn't have the surgery, however; a couple of my friends who had the surgery said I would go through that. I am just taking it one day at a time.
