truthinhiding

33 more days!!! I have a pre op appointment with my pcp, an appointment with a nurse practitioner at the surgeon's office, pre-op testing at the hospital, my EGD on aug 6th and last but not least my 2 week pre op diet starts aug 11th! I've received my letter from the bariatric center that I was approved and my surgeons office called with my approval today. I started this journey on January 6th this year at the information meeting at 375 pounds... Here I sit excited so much I could burst! I've had 6 visits with the nurse practitioner at the bariatric office, a psych appt, 3 group meetings, 2 meetings with the dietician and on the 26th of this month I've been smoke free for 4 months. I'm also down 85 pounds pre-op. I count my blessings every day for this opportunity..

I live in Easton.. Getting my surgery done at Lehigh valley hospital... What about you?

This is too fun, I found a 4th person with this date of aug 26th

Woo hoo! Another aug 26th person!! Now there's 3... Me and two others.. I'm reading the 9 pages of messages from this topic, I didn't realize it was on here til today

Do you have my fitness pal?

Thank you all!! I'm excited to see where this all leads!

August 26th is my surgery date... been really watching what I eat and exercising since the end of February.

Just a little excited today.. I'm down 50 lbs pre-op and I can actually see it in pictures now. Just thought I would share..

Awesome!! I still have a few months. I was just looking at vitamins at cvs while I was getting cough meds for my hubby. Did you buy the vitamins yet? Didn't they say something about us not getting gummies?

Yea...embarrassing trying to get out of them practically having to hover over the stall just to get to door open enough to get out!

Yea.. I live in Easton, pa.. I'm getting my surgery at Lehigh valley cedar crest with dr Harrison. I'm guessing ur in PA?

Right now I'm sticking with a 2100 calorie limit (I don't get anywhere near that) and exercising 2-4 times a week. I cut back on candy too.. Every once in awhile I get sugar free hard candy because I also quit smoking march 26th. There's a list of a couple fattening fried foods I want to try before surgery and I want to hit up one more buffet... Any who... I have a 2 week pre op diet it'll start aug 11th.. I took a pic of it from my book.
