so my surgery is exactly 7 days from today.....nervous and excited all at the same time. Everything is happening really fast, but I'm mentally prepared lol. The preop diet is a lot more difficult then expected, but I do like my Protein Shake choice Muscle Milk Light actually really good. Nervous but ready, any addtional advice or words of encouragement would definately be appreciated......Thanks everyone :)

Dear Chellz,

I am a only 9 days away from surgery and I am starting to get a little nervous so I can understand how you feel. There are a lot of unkowns involved and that, I think ,is what is making me nervous. Oh how I wish I could see into the future, but I can't, so I guess I will just have to face forward and march! You will do fine. Take your time to adjust to your new lifestyle, don't expect sudden changes and look to this whole thing as a marathon, not a sprint. Keep up on the board so that we can all see how you are doing and good luck! THis place has the best support of all.

I am 9 days away as well...I am starting to feel nervous, anxious as well. This is my first surgery and first time in the hospital for anything.

I love Muscle Milk shakes as well!! Yummy

My doc does not require a pre-op diet, but my nut has put me on low carb etc...

I am going to do a 4 day liquid pre-op.

Good luck and since we are all so close we should keep in touch!!!! :)

Good luck to you!! I'm scheduled for the 24th and I must say I'm pretty nervous too...excited as well! We will have to stay in touch to keep each other motivated since we are set for the same week. Just keep a positive outlook and stay prayed up!:mad2:

I am on my pre op as well, but it's a high Protein diet, not liquid only.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
