I Thought I Was Ready But...

Are you drinking lots of fluids ??? Cucumbers are a good choice for crunchiness I hear but I guess you can't eat that yet can ya -
Ell I have finished all my pre surgery visits and paperwork, whew that was a lot of stuff to get done .. Now I am waiting for the psychological evaluation to be sent to the surgical center office and then insurance approval. I am getting nervous now that it's almost here ! Is that normal ? 1. I'm scared of something happening during a elective procedure and then feeling guilty about it or worse leaving my family behind. 2. I am scared they are gonna refuse to do surgery or my insurance won't cover it . OR I won't be able to afford all the up front fees lake Norman regional medical center is probably gonna require.... I wish i wasn't such a doggone worry wart

Pre Op Diet --- Can I Eat A Buffet
paulsgirl1297 replied to HondaCivicDude's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
Well my dr told us that the reason for the pre-op diet was to shrink the liver, soda is tough on the liver so I would say stay away from those if you can ..they told us we have to use a brand of shakes and Soups called opti fast, and it's expensive. $125 a week before surgery because it has been successful in the past compared to allowing people to choice their own foods..i would guess liquids would be unlimited as long as they are sugar free and probably caffeine free. Do you have a nutrionist at the office you are going to ? If so maybe send them an email and ask, my list said unlimited Water, or tea with sugar substitute Nd unlimited sugar free Popsicles -
I would guess that you have more self confidence and that makes you feel sexier, whatever it is enjoy yourself ....

Advice Needed
paulsgirl1297 replied to momtoprincesses's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I have read that their are other options than the glucola drink, my on will let you go eat pancakes but she gives you a list of exactly what you can and can't eat, she told me it is about 4 pancakes with at least 3 tbsp syrup and no protein , like bacon or sausage ...and you can drink OJ but only one glass ....I didn't have any problem with the glucose drink though...they keep it ice cold and pour it over ice....but it couldn't hurt to ask -
