December 3rd anyone?



Recommended Posts

Well tomorrow is my big day and although being nervous I am also excited. I spoke with my doctor today and he reassured me everything would be fine. He was happy to hear I have done well with pre-op and that I stuck to it 100% and lost weight. He feels that I should be home by tomorrow evening. At first I was definately staying with a high BMI and bad sleep apnea but now with the loss he feels that may change. I would rather be in my own bed anyway. Wish me luck please. I will keep everyone posted on my outcome and progress.

p.s. Florida Pete thanks for the Holiday Hotties in the signature.

Good luck to you Mike. It is great that your Doc is pleased with the success that you have had on your pre-op diet. That I have seen so many times on the forums is one huge key to making sure you have a successful surgery and fast recovery!

Do let us know how your doing. Unfortunately I will be away from the computer until the 8th after tomorrow but I will be sure to be checking in on your and others around here as soon as I am back and of course letting everyone know how things went for me too!

Viva la Mexico!

Oh and your most welcome on the signature. Glad people like it :cursing:

Thanks Pete and good luck to you to. I probably will not get to talk to you until you get back from Mexico.

Well I am off to the hospital. I got a call from them last night moving my surgery up a few hours to 12:50 from 9:50. Oh well just more time without drinks and some more time to think.

I never thought I would say this but I really want a Protein drink right now. :smile2:

Thanks to everyone for the support and good words and good luck to everyone else.

This site is the best!!

I am with you Mr. Mike - that Protein shake sounds like filet mignon right now!!! liquids all day today - the clear kind that still leaves you hungry... Ah well - it will all be worth it! You will be in my thoughts today and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Pete - thanks for all you do for us! You will be leaving for sunny Mexico soon - if not already on your way. We will keep you in our prayers. Can't wait to hear how everythings goes for you, too.

I fly out Thursday morning at 6:30am. So I still have one more day before heading to Mexico. Funny part is the weather there and the weather here are almost the same right now for me so I am going from one warm climate to another. LOL - so flip flops, shorts, and tee shirts are all packed. :smile2:

Pete, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow morning as we drive to Topeka - right about the time you will be flying off to a similar climate in your flip-flops. I am a bit envious of you today - our weather is cold and damp and I am feeling it! You will be in my prayers, Pete. I am looking forward to hearing how you are doing very soon.

      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.
