surgery on the 30th!!

[readytolive 0]

i just met with my surgeon on wednesday, and next wednesday is surgery. so soon!

i was told to go on a pre-op diet for two weeks, and i messed up big time. i went in panic mode or something and started eating all the things i would never be able to eat again, at least not a full meal of it. yeah, i failed already, but i'm not discouraged just yet.

i know i can stick to "the rules" when i'm banded, even when i already messed up.

anyway, i'm excited for next week!

My surgery is also scheduled for April 30th.:cry_smile: I've been on the pre-op diet for almost two weeks and although it's been tough at times I have been able to stick with it, I think my only saving grace was that I was allowed to have one sensible meal.

Good Luck!:rolleyes2:

aw, you're my surgery twin. hehe.

i'm actually allowed to have two meals a day. i don't know why i couldn't even stick with that. i've been doing like one healthy meal, or one Protein shake, and then burger and fries from mcdonalds. it was totally bad, but i've been doing better now that it's closer to surgery. i know it's to benefit me and make surgery go smoother.

What time is your surgery? I have to be at the hospital at 5:45am and my surgery is scheduled for 7:30am. I'm excited and nervous but I cant wait to start my new life:thumbup:.

mine is at 4:50pm. i don't like that it is so late in the day, but they will call me the day of surgery so the time might change.

I have been kind of nervous all weekend. I am ready to get it done so I can stop worrying about it already. My pre-op diet has been great. I had to do Atkins so thats been pretty simple. I am so glad that I didn't have to do the liquid diet. I fly to Denver tomorrow @ noon. And I'll fly back on Thursday afternoon. So I am a little nervous about going without my husband but he has to stay with the kids. After reading this site for 2 months a lot of people say it's not that bad. So I am really hoping I am one of those people. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Good luck to all of us. I look forward to seeing how well everyone is doing.
